Batch 89: Bottled August 18, 2021 Barrel Strength: 115.64 proof (57.82%) Poured neat. Very desert-like on the nose that makes me think of crème brûlée. Leads with a thick maple syrup with backing notes of vanilla, and toasted sugar. Oily mouth feel, sweet at first with notes of cherry, cream soda and candy corn. The proof starts to ramp up in the mid palate bringing notes of cinnamon and toasted oak with it. Finish is moderate with warm notes of vanilla, leather and baking spice. Believe the hype on this one, fantastic whiskey.
