This is a really great batch - as good or even better than 2015-01 imho. Wonderful, maple and nutty nose that gives way to strong barrel strength whiskey smell. I get toasted nuts with a bit of vanilla and dried apples; then a quick punch of alchohol that fades into a long cinnamon and clove aftertaste. very low burn for something this high ABV, so I drink this one neat which is saying a LOT (2015-01 and four roses private selection OBSQ are two other barrel strength faves and both absolutely require some water). Considering purchasing a case of this before it's gone.
