“A” Barrel Nose: dusty, seasoned oak. Vanilla, touch of licorice. Way more powerful than expected for a 94 proof. Palate: savory character. Drinks higher than 94 proof, good mouthfeel. One dimensional but really hammers the oak not perfectly. Depth if flavor without being overpowering Finish: dark chocolate, bitter espresso. More dusty oak 8 on the t8ke scale
