I was not overly impressed by the entry level B&T, but i have been told the 10 year is the sweet spot for them. Throw in a tater worthy Liberty Torch bottle topper and I am in. Of course I think anyone calling another person a tater really says more about themselves than their target.... but I digress. Let's see how it goes. Nose is really quite nice on this pour. There is a faint peanut note, but more prevalent are wood and cocoa. No alcohol here to speak of makes this one to enjoy for a bit before you sip. First sip is fairly soft on the front end. I get a touch of cocoa here and maybe some burnt caramel. Mostly this one is just flat. There is a bit of a hot finish with some pepper burn that flares up and then sort of fizzles out. Overall this one like the 6 year just doesn't do it for me. The flavor is soft and a bit flat. It's not a drain pour by any means, but I wouldn't buy it again. At the price it is a disappointment if not for that cool bottle topper. I would advise you look elsewhere at this price.
