Fresh bottle- broken cork, so had to put it into a cleaned out buffalo Trace bottle... poured myself a dram before doing so. Luckily got the cork with no remnants out. Sitting for 5 min- color is dark brown almost amber color. Darkest I’ve had this far. Nose- s’mores , and toffee, from a little farther away sweet pickles (I know , weird right?) , maple syrup, banana. Taste- deep honey, caramel, a little spice, dark chocolate, a little black pepper finish. Mouth feel- initially it felt light, but as I kept at it, it actually has a deep thick richness. Not too oily, little spice that sets in the back of the throat. Lingers pretty long
