Nose of cherry, cocoa, peaches, oak, and musty barn similar to the small batch version. Strangely, the single barrel smells more alcohol forward despite being the same proof. Palate falls in line with the nose pretty well with all of the elements listed above present in some degree. Candied peach very prominent. I swear I even get a hint of whipped cream to go with the peach. A little caramel in the mid-palate that wasn't present in the nose and then poof! it's gone. Oak comes in hard just after. It's not over oaked, but if big oak presence isn't your jam might want to skip this one. Finish is filled with pepper and barrel spices, and is the single longest finish I have ever sampled. Bigger and bolder than the small batch, and that's not a bad thing at all since the flavors are enjoyable the extra punch is very welcome. Just an awesome whiskey and an upgrade over the small batch that is worth the up charge in my opinion.
