Oddly this just made to here locally...seems like it's a year behind?
Anyway on to the neck pour review.
Nose - buttery as all hell. Oak and kinda weird springbanky malt and funk that's not springbank? I often get sugar cookies on springbank but this is more buttered savory bread with some kind of off note and maybe old dried wine in the back ground. Sea salt, chocolate, bit of fig, bit of alcohol bite,
Taste - The taste brings me back to more classic longrow but the savory buttery element here is still turned up to 12. Heavy salt and very sweet. There's however not much depth. Not a lot of complexity. It's pretty rich and full of body and flavor.
Ultimately I think at 10 years it's too young. I think this could have gone back into the bourbon casks for a few more years to round it out more.
2 stars from me. It's a pass at the 160 it sold for. I'm struggling to add much but I'll let it open up and see if that helps.
