1990-2017 / Refill Bourbon Hogsheads Nose - Baked apples, toasted cinnamon bread, hint of lemon bars, vanilla custard (w/ water) More vibrant, less toasted bread, more fruit Taste - Warm baked apples, toasted oats, orange/lemon zest, light fruity metallic vibe, hint of charred cinnamon bitter (w/ water) Warm apple juice/cider, cinnamon spice, metallic vibe is gone, hint of sharp lemon zest, much brighter Finish - Lingering orange/lemon zest, baked/charred apple peels, wisp of freshly charred wood, not smoke, but like if you soaked some charcoal in water & smelled the water (w/ water) Increased heat somehow, more4 lemon zest, baked apple, watery honey Score - 82/100 Final Thoughts - This was a nice example of aging a spirit in reused barrels to just mellow out the original spirit and let it age gracefully on its own with minimal influence from a seasoned cask. Nice baked apple notes in this one and it surprisingly took a while to really open up, but when it did it was still fairly subtle on the nose. Felt almost like a baked apple brown betty, but they forgot to add butter or sugar. Apple was there, but fairly muted and had hints of baked wheat/oats/grains. Fairly pleasant, but a bit boring. Water really helps this one out as it brightens up the nose a bit and removes the metallic notes I got on the palate.
