123.4 proof. Bottle number is 14, but there’s no mention of a batch or anything, so I haven’t any idea whether it’s the 14th bottle ever or the 14,000th. It does say it was hand selected for Texas though, so I know I’m special. On the nose oak, caramel, rye, peach, citrus peel and pear; soft but complex. Rich and spicy on the palate, with flavors of caramel, cinnamon, vanilla, raisin, oak, black pepper, rye. Spicy finish. Hot, but not overly so, particularly for the proof. Full bodied. Quite good really. @twostal

@sdmoflsmo Fair enough. The terminology was wrong. The (probably drunken) point though was simply that there’s no context. No barrel number, date, location, etc. Nothing. So I suppose it could have been better said as: It’s bottle 14, but I have no idea the single barrel, period of time, etc. from which it came. 🤷🏻♂️
it's a single barrel so it is not from a batch. the number 14 means it was the 14th bottle filled from that specific barrel
