April 12, 2017 (edited April 13, 2017)
Barrel #5043516 | Aged Since 05/2006 Nose - Dark brown sugar caramel, oaky vanilla, hints of coffee, roasted sweet nuts, light milk chocolate.
Taste - Very smooth milk chocolate covered dark vanilla caramel, oaky vanilla, hints of sweet mocha foam, lightly drying, hint of cherry at the back of the palate.
Finish - Dark cherry lingers and mixes with a nice oaky vanilla caramel sweetness.
Score - 87/100
Final Thoughts - The nose on this one doesn't do the taste justice. It noses a bit oaky, but it's not as much so once it hits the tongue. Has a nice mix of flavors I find quite enjoyable (coffee, dark caramel, cherry) and sips very well neat. Has enough "oompf" to stand up in a cocktail, but try to focus on cherry/chocolate flavors as I think those would go best with this. As always with a single barrel product, be aware of barrel variances and no two barrels are the same.
