Great nose, this takes me back. To what, I'm not sure. But it definitely takes me back. Nuts, fruit, and dough on the nose. It's like a boozy peanut butter and jelly sandwich. An earthy, truffle note as well. On the palate, prickly spice up front, then the nose carries over - honey roasted peanuts, tart fruit, mushrooms. This must be Dickel. Nice, cascading warmth going down. Cacao nibs remain, and this lingers for a while. It feels thick and oily, quite viscous, like swallowing peanut butter. I'm not saying this is an easy sipper by any means, but it's way smoother than you'd expect for the proof. Another winner in the Barrell line. 8/6/18
