I admit, I like me some KBD/Willet products so let’s see how this fares: First of all, serious LOLS for putting a wax seal on a screw top! :) On the nose, the first thing that hits you is this smells exactly like Dentyne cinnamon gum. If you really struggle you can pick up a little apple and creme brûlée. On the bright side, none of the proof shows up in the aroma and you can really get in there and huff without singeing the nostrils. Palate starts off with caramel and toffee, but quickly switches to a big cinnamon and pepper spice in the midway through with none of the sweeter notes sticking around. Finish is nice and long with more cinnamon, oak, and a lovely barrel char note. Has some heat to it; this definitely lets you know you are at 107 proof. After everything else has faded there is a hint of eucalyptus. The good: no off flavors, long finish, spicy if that’s you’re jam. The bad: lacks depth and complexity, a little too much cinnamon running roughshod over the other flavors/scents. At $38, I’m going to have to say it’s not a big win for me. Just too many other options out there for right around $40 that offer more depth including it’s relative Rowan’s Creek and the far superior Old Ezra Barrel Strength.
