this had a dark shade of Amber. it was rich in the flavor profile. mouthfeel is creamy or oily. pretty well balanced overall. nice and smooth... some big bold notes - must be the oak I guess... nice balance between sweetness or sugar and dryness. I detected some malt, cinnamon, pepper, apple, maybe orange zest, Oak, butterscotch, caramel, honey and vanilla. the bottle is really cheesy the label on the bottle is cheesy and the rumor is this is Blanton Barrel rejected whiskey...
