Neat. Neck pour. Nose is hot on approach. Let it open up for a bit. Nose gives tons of vanilla and butterscotch. Fresh grass and pepper on the back. Vanilla frosting as I spend time with it. Creamy texture, powdered sugar on the tongue. Gives way to more vanilla, hint of mint, hint of bubble gum. Slight slight hint of spice. Then decent legs of vanilla and that bubble gum. Pepper really gives a good burn the more I drink it. A few sips in gave me an intense Kentucky hug. It very enjoyable but the age definitely holds it back from being a special MGP. I prefer my Backbone Store Pick (4.5 years) over this.
