A sample from dthom as part of the "Whiskey transfer program". Nose: Vanilla, brown sugar, apple skins, and some of the herbal dill notes that I expect from a high rye bourbon. Very mild alcohol on the nose given the high proof. A background wood note as well. Flavor: Sweet with heavy caramelized brown sugar and vanilla, baking spices, wood, and leather. Really smooth with a buttery mouth feel and I barely get the proof at all. Finish: Finishes spicy with a lot of wood, black pepper, and barrel spice. A shorter finish than I'd expect at the proof but this probably reflects the 4 year aging. Overall I really enjoyed this but felt like it was a little one dimensional. The four year aging is working against this whiskey a little and I think 2-4 more years would make this a powerhouse.
