Nose: Vanilla, Luxardo cherries, molasses, oak. Well integrated front to back. Raw flour. Cream. Faint whisps of char. Bananas, apricots, persimmons, plums. Baked pears with cinnamon and the smallest pinch of nutmeg. Dusty corn buried deep. Palate: Vanilla, oak, molasses, and port cask - the port is on display with more of that Luxardo cherry syrupy sweetness. Apricots, persimmons, and pears coming through, with a dash of hot cinnamon now. Tannin and barrel bitter join the party. Finish starts off with plums and caramel apples with baking spices. There's definitely some rye in this mash - getting some dried basil, thyme, and dill while the denser flavors slowly evaporate. Tail end leaves some bitterness with vanilla bean ice cream, figs, and slight nuttiness. Other notes: I've always like this stuff. It's not perfect by any stretch - I'd personally love to see a longer initial maturation with maybe a touch more char on the barrels, but what's on display in this glass is quite good. Also a good example of a lower proof not being a bad thing. While this might be interesting at 100+, I don't think I'd be able to do more than a glass or two. Maybe not something I always have in my bar, but a fun one to revisit from time to time.
