This is pleasing to the eye. Dark honey with a red hue. Lace forms almost immediately at rest and climbs 1/4" up the glass after 5 minutes. A swirl leaves a crystal clear coating that hangs for 20 seconds before it starts to thin and recede, first as small little tears in the coat, and then consolidation into large, heavy tendrils that are spaced remarkably evenly around the glass, eventually ending up near the bottom after a minute and a half, where the lace immediately again forms. Nose is honeyed apple slices, a sort of generic fruit salad, and cinnamon. There is no smoke to speak of. Palate is warm and luxurious, sweetly coating from front to back, with brown-sugared apple slices, apple butter, and dark clover honey. The smoke finally makes an appearance in the middle, but it's a cameo solely to usher in the close, where the oak finally shows up to give a drying astringency that lingers for a few seconds before clearing to a sweet jamminess that mirrors the nose. Nicely balanced, and enjoyable, but nothing to write home about. I think others have said it, but I feel this whole line could use another 3-5 points of ABV - just enough where the body has real heft, and the flavors pop, and the transitions are less subtle. I find the 10, 15 and 21 to be minor variations on the same theme, with the 21 so smooth as to be borderline dull, the 10 lacking complete flavor development, and the 15 being that Goldilocks sweet spot. All three are good, but this will likely be my last bottle of the 21, while the 15 and 10 will remain in circulation.
