Nose: baking spices, vanilla, Carmel Palate: barrel spice, dark fruit brown sugar Finish: nice long finish with some sweetness in the back. Overall: for me the EHT small batch is better. Single barrel is more viscous and mouth coating. It’s damn good. I did get this bottle at retail. I’ve become friends and spent hard earned money with a local shop and they rewarded me after some time with a very sought after bottle. It’s all about relationships. If you can find this bottle at retail count your blessings.
