Mildest but quite possibly best nose for an LBP. Dusty peanut shell, oak furniture, caramel hard candy, soft vanilla, rick house funk and barrel char. Lowest ethanol I’ve experienced for the expression meaning so low as to be barely perceptible. Palate brings candied ginger, hazelnut, nutmeg, caramel apple, grilled buttered corn, cocoa powder, and chili pepper. Spicy with out being “hot”. Flavors are rich and densely layered. Super long finish brings some fiery warmth with black pepper, maraschino cherry, rich oak, cinnamon bear candy, leather, and tobacco. Mouthfeel is full bodied and chewy. This is it; the one we’ve been waiting for. The finest of the series I have tasted. At $79.99, it’s amazingly good for the price and the first LBP that can hold a candle to Elijah Craig Barrel Proof releases. I hope future releases hit this high mark. Buy, buy, buy.
