This one is 8/13/21. 55.95% ABV; 111.9 proof; Barrel 708
Nose: ethanol, a bit phenolic, slight bit of caramel, a bit of peat. Getting a hint of Grass that's been sitting in the mower bag for a few hours. A tiny amount of floral if you search for it. Overall not a strong nose. John mentioned black cherry and I DEFINITELY get that.
Palate: bourbon cask is prominent, peat and smoke are not overpowering but there, a decent amount of sweetness, some caramel, some cherry on the palate. Brown sugar.
Finish: some lighter peat phenols, some chewiness, some rubber
