Neat. Party Source pick, neck pour. Brighter than I was expecting for 14 years. Fresh raspberries and strawberries covered in whip cream. Pie crust, buttery pie crust. I found the oak but I had to really hunt for it. Vanilla and cherry. Delightful nose. Crisp, creamy ripe fruit pie with a side of natural vanilla ice cream.
Damn it that is good. The mouth feel is perfect. Oily, rolls over the tongue and the flavors just take over. Cherry and vanilla sweetness. The flavors just keep coming and coming. Cherry on cherry on cherry slides into the vanilla and then the oak emerges but it’s still in the form of the buttery, slightly burned crust wrap around everything. The cherry and vanilla last for as long as you let them too.
Oh man. I’ve heard that you need to be careful with these BC14 being over oaked but I can’t see it in this. The lack of oak and caramel characteristics is a bit jarring but the cherry, fruit, vanilla and pie crust combo is killer. These Boone County single barrels continue to be my personal favorites in the collection.
