Batch 10 pour...nose is somewhat reticent, but what is there is mildly fruity, somewhat sweet, but with some spice on the edges, baking spices, and a splash of vanilla...but again, you need to work for this one. The palate is much more lively, and is definitely a surprise after the stubborn nose. Plenty of dark fruit, brown sugar, some rye spices, charred wood, a splash of honey, and maybe a bit of cigar...its interesting and gives you something new with each sip. Mouthfeel is slightly thinner than expected (and desired)...not a true detractor, but a trait that was notable at first sip.
I'd call this a fun pour...one that I would happily share with others, but admittedly not one that I will look to restock when it eventually bids me adieu...as it felt like something that should sip around $50, maybe more like $60, though I do recognize that it is probably priced accordingly due to the cask aging.
