Cheating - this is a 10 year single barrel from a local store. Nose - vanilla, powerful, red fruits and oak. Caramel. Taste - Oh man sweet vanilla and caramel, and lightly toasted oak. Such an easier drinker, so much caramel and nice easy to drink flavors. Alcohol is well in the background. Powerful flavor, good kick, and super drinker. I find myself reviewing a lot of stuff at 3.0 and this is another one. Keep in mind, why would I own it if it weren't a 3?
