OBSQ recipe, 56.9% ABV, aged 10 yr 9 mo.
Aroma is pungent with vanilla, oak, fresh cut grass, earthy cellar, honey, allspice, mint, citrus, and apple chips. Ethanol is decently low.
Palate is sweeter than the nose would indicate with caramel, plum, molasses, barrel char, vanilla, cinnamon, and apricot. Flavors are rich.
Finish turns slightly funky with white pepper, tobacco, fresh leather, clove, nutmeg, tarragon, sandalwood, and musty/dusty rick house. Mouthfeel is an absolute delight; thick, smooth, and creamy. Long lasting pepper note after everything else fades away.
Bold and unique. While not my absolute favorite recipe I have sampled, it is still a top shelf whiskey with great complexity and zero flaws. I paid $129 and at that price it’s buy all day every day for these releases. While not as economical as say an ECPB, this still offers solid bang for your buck in today’s market.
