I’m getting something funky on this. I get the toasted barrel but I don’t know if it’s tobacco, leather, or some other earthy note that is a bit off-putting. This is the only bottle I’ve opened and I’m wary to open another. I’ve given this bottle at least a month and it hasn’t softened. Maybe it’s cork rot? It’s almost... moss-like in the flavor. I was expecting really good things and this feels closer to a drain pour.

Ryan. If you live close by Los Angeles I’ll take it off your hands
Sounds like a bad cork. I recently encountered this with a bottle of Stagg Jr... vegetal aftertaste that lingered in my mouth long after I drank it. Tried the same batch from my friend’s bottle and it tasted excellent, no vegetal taste whatsoever.
