Caramel
Sweet caramel, vanilla, very nutty perhaps hazelnut, tannins, m oak
Sweet caramel, vanilla, oak burns sharply a couple seconds in then fades to tannin fur then nutty to buttery tannin with notes of soft vanilla, cedar and a mint to finish
Drops of water soften the oak burn significantly and bring out the nutty and leather notes though caramel and vanilla less prominent
Tasted head to head with 25 year and the 24 has much more oak rye burn, more sweet caramel, less complexity
