I recieved this as a very generous gift and excited to sit down with it. It's a delicious-looking amber colour. Barrel #2101159. Nose: Brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, allspice. Certainly the nose is a wonderful balance of sugar and spice. There is some orange marmalade and maybe some dill in the background as well. Palate: This is even spicier than the nose suggests. There is very little sweetness although the sweetness there is reminiscent of burnt caramel. I also get some bitter high-cocoa dark chocolate. There's lots of black pepper and cinnamon. I'm not sure the rye content but the rye spice really seems to be coming through unless this is simply oak-char disguised as rye-spice. Finish: Long, spicy, and oaky. The tannins stick around for some time on the sides of the tongue. There's very little sweetness on the finish but I can chew the leathery taste for some time. Overall this is packed with flavour. I find it's not as sweet as a typical bourbon, likely due to the age, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. I would definitely recommend this.
