Good nose. Buttery, carmelly but heavy barrel. maybe it’s just the name but I smell a wood bat. I smell leather. I smell baseball. Says it’s sherry cask finished. I get that fruited note as well. First Taste is definitely Young and bold. I get a lot of burnt (but good) notes. Burnt apple. Burnt carmel. Good spicy feel. Love the barrel proof and big alcohol content. Complex. There are plenty of finer whiskeys out there, but this is a really good one to explore. Especially for the $15 deal I found!
