Neat. That is funky right off the bat. Tons of raisins, molasses, cinnamon, sugar cookie. Get some berries and cream as it opens up. Cream turns into a deep vanilla as I concentrate on it. This nose is journey and a very interesting one.
Thick and oily on the tongue. Just an overwhelming amount of flavors. I think this may have more flavors immediately on the tongue than anything else I have tried. Vanilla. Cinnamon. Berries and cream. Oak is coming around too. On the finish the secondary aging goes nuts and lingers for miles. The finish is relentless. It leaves you with tons of oak at the end.
If you go in thinking this is a bourbon, you will be off guard. This is an experience and the best Barrel Bourbon experience I have ever had. I could pick this apart for an hour. With that said, I don’t see myself reaching for it often. The flavors aren’t delicious per se, just overwhelming and interesting. It’s a hard one to grade.
