Nose is very Brown-Forman with loads of cherry, brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, and a light hint of generic citrus (at gunpoint I’d say orange) Slight musty rickhouse note which I found intriguing. A hint of ethanol but forgivable at this proof point. Palate offers burnt sugars, ripe red cherry, leather, toffee, oak, tobacco, maple, and banana. Flavors are decadent and punchy. Finish is a slow morph into wood varnish, cinnamon, allspice, barrel char, and pink peppercorn. A tad short as I wanted it to go on because of how good it is. Cherry note persists through the finish which is in no way a bad thing as having it in the aroma, palate, and finish adds cohesiveness to the overall experience. Mouthfeel is very viscous and oily, coating every inch of the tongue. A high point. This is great; delivering all the things I like about some of the best Brown-Forman expressions with no discernible flaws. I paid..uhhh…$149 for this when I found it in the wild due to FOMO because this is a hard find in my area, and I might have a slight twinge of regret. But $30 cheaper (which I believe is MSRP) and that regret would be gone. Hard to call it a “value” but plenty of bang for your buck. Will buy future releases at retail.
