Neat. Fresh bottle. Been awhile since I opened a McKenna 10 year. Delicious oak with a hint of peanuts shells on the nose. The age is really coming through on this pour. Orange peel and burnt caramel. The oak is morphing into this delightful milk chocolate. Little hint of pepper and mint.
Oh hell yeah. This is by far the best McKenna I have had. Immediately on the tongue, the brown sugars, cinnamon come together to form a pronounced cinnamon roll. All those flavors from the nose start coming forward. Burnt caramel, orange peel and chocolate. Legs bring back those intense brown sugars and cinnamon from the start and they linger for quite a while. That peanut comes around on the taste the more I sit with it.
This is barrel 6716. It’s awesome. I am shocked. The last McKenna I had was a dud but this one restores my faith.

Good to hear. I recently finished off a very good bottle and opened one that's just OK. Of course, I may just be rating it too harshly since the bottle I just finished was so good.
