Open for about a week Nose: much more vanilla up front with oak, dr pepper turned down and seasoned oak on the back end. Palate: cherry up front, buttery carame, baking spices, dried oak and leather Finish: dark chocolate, bottom of a coffee cup, more oak, drying and long finish. Medium intensity Pour is much more balanced and refined. Gonna be a too contender for ahiskey if the year. 9 on the t8ke scale
