[6.13.2025] A pretty perfect night earns this a higher rating than it probably deserves. It could be the company that leads to the score. Bachelor party for the little brother, a nice night, sparky hot fire, Stapleton on the radio, and this was brought along by the groom's childhood friend. Truly a great night. Vanilla and dried fruit predominate. Oak follows the burn on the aftertaste. I put it at a 4.5 but it may be more like a 4. The flavor profile is really nice but there's just a bit too much bite - gives a perception it's out of balance.
