The nose is very unique almost perfume like if somebody made a raisin and vanilla perfume . Have not had this nose in really any bourbons for the most part and am stuck just smelling it intrigued! I do get that cookie dough vibe almost the same as the regular line of old forester line where it has almost that fake store bought sugar cookie vibe to it with the frosting vibes you’d get at Kroger’s or Albertsons. The nose does hunt at a tad bit of barrel char and smoke or it’s that I honestly didn’t clean out my glencairn enough after my sample of Amrut yesterday. I’m honestly not entirely sure but I felt I did a pretty good job! The palate should offer some more notes immediately I’m hit with citrus lots of citrus with barrel char my first intial response is damnnnn I can’t get another replacement for this ! It has all the oak spice it promised with loads of orange citrus zest and a nice oaky tannic with citrus vibe while also not being too bitter and tannic’-ey . The finish is more of the same and I’m sitting here contemplating whether or not I should spend the money people ask secondary for another..... Overall I’d give this a 95/100 and if my scoring so far is correct that’s the highest so far! I’ve had my fair share of highly allocated bourbons and ryes yet this has taken the cake so far! I hate that honestly I’m going to spend about $300 or so when my stimulus check comes in because it’s worth it! Phenomenal pour and phenomenal job by them! Best OFBB by far I’ve had!
