Neat. Neck pour. Gallenstein pick BCW10. First, I rarely note color but this is a beautiful auburn. Quite dark for just 6 years. This nose is lovely, light and bright with a few interesting dark notes as high dive deeper. Buttered popcorn is the first thing I am pulling out. Super buttery. Caramel brittle. Baking spices. Cinnamon apples. Honey and maple.
Glorious mouth feel. So velvety. This is really good, I think this pick beats the one I got from the distillery. On the tongue it is all this honey and nectar sweetness. Transitions to even more over the top sweetness. Cotton candy to hard caramels with intense lingering vanilla. It’s so oily that waves of caramel keep coming and it rolls down the throat so slowly. The more I sit with it, darker oak notes straight to come up.
A lovely pour. I really enjoyed that.
