Have had this on hold in my cellar for two years. Time to air it out. Tasting neat.
Dark golden brown and rather thin coating legs in the glass. Big nose of brown sugar and caramel corn, vanilla oak, a little dry grass, and a dose of ethanol, but not as much as you'd expect at 123.8 proof. Sweet brown sugar, cinnamon graham crackers, and caramel in the mouth. Soft and oily coating (pleasantly surprised given the lack of legs). Vanilla oak, cherry, some tannins and ethanol, but not that much. Overall, soft and sweet with maple and cherry notes. Finish comes out of that sweet mouth, turns spicy grassy, and then a looong mint tingle finish. Maybe the best part of the sip. An ice cube tames the sweet a bit, but also blands the finish.
Another winner in the Larceny barrel proof series if you like a sweeter-than-spicy bourbon. Big flavors, easy sipping given the proof, very comfortable.
