Vibrant, ruddy copper color. Large number of slowly appearing legs. Nose is Poppin with green apple, clove, confectioners sugar, caramel, and oak lumber and barn must. A tiny hint of cedar or cypress and tobacco really piques the curiosity. (Milliardo nailed it with "rosewater) Soft and somewhat thin mouthfeel, it still manages to coat the mouth well. Vigorous warmth that comes from the high proof and the spice, which seem to amplify the warming effects of each other. Lots of clove out of the gate, blending slowly into a juicy, tart fruit and caramel mid palate that yields to the wood on the finish without disappearing entirely. There's a sweetness that hides behind everything throughout the experience. Bardstown has never disappointed me, and this offering is no exception. Not sure I could pony up $150 for it moving forward, but it is awesome.
