Neat. Sample. Time is passing fast, hard to believe Chattanooga is ready for a bottles-in-bond release. Very excited fo try this for the first time.
And the nose does not disappoint on first impression. Nice blend of malt and toast. It’s a beautiful blend of sweet and savory. Getting this nice BBQ rub with apple, cinnamon, brown sugar. Little corn bread too. Lots of vanilla. Getting a cherry cola now too - it’s morphing a bit from the first impression.
Mouthfeel is a bit watery. Hmm, it packs less flavor than the nose let on but the finish is nice. Initially it is all brown sugar and cinnamon, hint of apple. Transitions into that savory BBQ rub and the cherry cola. Malt and baking spices, hint of pepper on the finish. On the finish, a vanilla emerges and lingers and carries the pepper along the way.
I like it, but I like it less than I expected. The combo of sweet/savory is nice, it finishes strong but I would buy a 111 proof over this.
