Neat. Gallenstein pick. 5 years. 137.3 proof. (!!!)
Nose was initial an uppercut of spice. Lots going on with this one. Heavy baking spice backed by tons of caramel, berries and cream, cinnamon. Delicious. One of those noses where you can sit and pick stuff out for awhile.
Really thick mouth feel. Tons going on with the palate but a wave of heat took over first sip and distracted me. After acclimating to the proof, brown sugar up front followed by maple, butterscotch, and just a hint of the spice. Butterscotch getting stronger over time. This is one of those awesome dessert MGP’s. The 5 years almost scared me off. Quite glad it did not.
Might be my favorite MGP. Need to put it up against Boone County.

Both The Party Source and Uncorked have picks of this for just under $60. I believe The Party Source is over 7 years, forget Uncorked age. Which would you pick up?
I wish we could magically switch store pick samples. My store pick was equally awesome, but a different experience. Great review!
