Hickory tree pick 2022 Dark straw in color with a bit of worn brass. Sticks quite tight to the glass for the proof. Toast, caramel, some ripe cooked fruits and a pleasant nuttiness and a waft of barn must. Bountiful warmth via the strength and a growing spicy warmth throughout the mouth and chest. The finish is medium length and leaves a delicious tart fruit/caramel/burnt sugar coating. Opens and softens a bit with a few drops of water. I really like this, and it may be one of my favorite Yellowstone offerings to date. Clearly nailed a great barrel here!
