Nose: oak and brown sugar Palate: taste a bit young but that’s not bad in this case. I get oak and vanilla and some tobacco. It’s solid. Finish: at 104 proof it had a bit of a hug. It linger on your tongue rather than that deep chest hug love that you get from higher proofs. Overall: it’s a solid pour. For me it’s not as good as their batch 6 cask strength or their Texas select toasted barrel. This is a solid pour. 3.6/5 stars. Glad I found a bottle.
