Neat. Neck pour. BCW-1. Super buttery with sense of freshly made bread. Butterscotch and slightly burnt caramel. Vanilla and a hint of nutmeg. Barely any alcohol despite being 120ish proof. Reminds me of Wilderness Trail quite a bit.
Super creamy and oily. Really coats the mouth. Lots of brown sugar and powdered sugar up front with a slight hint of oak and apples. It’s quite delicious. The taste is a flavor bomb. Overwhelming butterscotch. It’s butterscotch on more butterscotch with a hint of those bread notes on the tail end of the legs. That butterscotch is hanging in the mouth forever.
It’s not complex, but it’s a flavor bomb with that butterscotch. Super delicious. So smooth at such a high proof too. Superior to Wilderness Trail. Hard to compare to other wheats of similar years like OWA or RC6 because it is pure dessert. Not much spice or oak to pick apart.
Is it worth $100? I think so. No regrets buying this from the distillery and a great bounce back for Boone County after the Small Batch fell a bit flat for me.
