Have to admit that I find this stuff downright unpleasant; in addition to being pretty gimmicky (distillers have been "sweating the barrels" for many years; the process JB uses here is hardly unique), the flavour profile is just a mess. Tastes like a cheap, half-hearted step-brother to Knob Creek. Flavours of peanut butter Beam funk, cinnamon, vanilla, and a shit-ton of oak. Barrel char, dry oak, leathery, tobacco. Hints of cherry, maybe. Surprisingly thin and hot in the mouth, very bitter, and very tannic.
