A sample from dthom as part of the "Whiskey Transfer Program". This is a 60.7% Binny's barrel pick that was unfinished ie: no cask finish like the usual Magnus stuff.
Nose: Very subtle caramelized sugar sweetness and woody flavors like cedar. A little bit of pine as well. There is more below the surface but it doesn't shine through until the first taste.
Flavor: Wow. This one is complex. Vanilla, caramel, nougat, toasted nuts, dark chocolate, light dried fruits. Basically this tastes like a dark chocolate snickers bar. Oily, rich, and buttery.
Finish: A long drying finish that somehow turns sweet at the end. More snickers bars with nougat, caramel, and toasted nuts. Lightly woody at the end.
Truly one of the best bourbons I've tried. Shame once it's gone there is no more.
