nose - dark roasted malts, heavy vanilla, cherry, oak, chocolate, this thing is deep and intense Taste - so the thing is no matter how much you water this down, there's alcohol. It's a big of a problem. Now you get there rich vanilla oaks and cherries, and just oak. It's all good stuff. There's a level of acidic and muted and funk here and that isn't optimal but you'd have to water this down to get it. The bottom line is this is an amazing ECBP, but it isn't perfect. I'm giving it a 3.75 which is an amazing score for a bourbon, but there are real issues.
