Ohio Father’s Day single barrel select program.
Look: dark amber/brown.
Smell: I don’t get much on this one- the alcohol is evident. Lots of oak but when I sniff any deeper my nose hairs get singed.
Taste: hot damn this is good. Cinnamon, oak, tobacco, cocoa. 55% is noticeable but there is relatively little burn. A little bit of water brings out brown sugar/molasses, apples and vanilla.
This is a happy medium for me between the barrel proof bourbons and the lower alcohol bottles. Definitely worth the money if you can get it at msrp
