Nose is complex with dried Fuji apple, spearmint, prune, pine, chocolate, and blueberry. On the palate opens with caramel, cinnamon, clove, anise, and a general yet subtle kind of nuttiness like what you’d find in pine nuts as opposed to the “peanut funk” like some JB products. Finish: Oh the finish! Prune, barrel char, pepper, more anise, and oak. Medium length but the blend is divine. Mouthfeel is full and oily. 100 proof makes itself known with a pleasant mouth tingle. Overall I really enjoyed this. The extra 3 yrs definitely makes itself known in all sorts of ways. Even my bourbon hating wife loves this. At $57, a definite rebuy.
