On the nose I get some smokiness, corn, some soft wheat notes and hints of bread and a slight smell of a rickhouse. Its fairly light and juicy on the palate. It has some corn sweetness. Some light leather/musty notes and a slight smokiness. The finish is medium in length. Not hot, I get some corn as delayed aftertaste. I like this one, but I’m somewhat biased because I have been waiting for this release for a while. So this one is aged a minimum of 2yrs. I’m sure there are some 4yr or so barrels blended in there. But all in all, it shows it’s youth. As their stock gets older, future releases of older aged whiskey will be very good. I was really excited to try this fully aged in normal sized barrels variety after having their short run of First 108 which were aged in smaller barrels for a shorter period of time to “accelerate aging”. They are definitely related, but I think I like their First 108 a little better, it’s also a good bit darker than this new one. Probably because it had more surface area with the wood in the smaller barrel? Anyway, it’s good and different, and would recommend it.
