First impressions: It’s hot right off of the bat, but it lasts forever on the palate. Once the ethanol has evaporated some, the nose is quite enjoyable (rich fruits and sweet oak). The proof is felt but the flavors really pop. This batch has an extra layer of richness and complexity that takes this to another level once you get accustomed to the proof. Classic BT flavors of sweet fruits and oak on full display. Amazing pour
