Tasting: Neat in glen cairn and then 3 drops of water in 1 oz. pour. Batch B518 Nose: (5.0) A bit of oaky, musty barrel and then the mother load of caramel and butterscotch comes through. Fills the room with deliciousness Palate: (5.0) I got heathbar and a bit of ethanol. Scrumptious chocolate and butterscotch are the main players. The vanilla plays in the background and then the heat builds and hits you upside the head. Finish: (5.0) Long finish with spice and cinnamon, beautiful caramel aftertaste. Coats the palate and builds to a comfortable inner warmth. This bourbon is spectacular good. It is one of the few bourbons of which if I could only have one on a disserted island it would be it.
