WR Double Oaked was an early favorite of mine, and I have long since wanted to get my hands on this extra special rendition.
Alas!
Nose - brown sugar for days, so sweet, marzipan, cherry, and...brownie batter?
Mouth - warm, syrupy, sweet, oaky tannins. WOAH sudden savory smoked meat (what?)! Like buttery rendered pork fat fresh off the smoker.
Finish - smooth, no heat, so sweet.
Okay, so maybe I’ve been drinking a little, but I’m not kidding about the surprise savory notes that came out of nowhere. I’m gonna attribute that to the smokey/woodiness coming from the extra time in the second toasted barrel.
5/5 for excitement and uniqueness, 4/5 because it's significantly sweeter than I'd normally prefer, so let's split the difference.
Man this one was fun, let’s go again!
