Neat. Open for ~6 months. Cork n Bottle 7 year pick. First impression of this bottle was average. Decided to explore it again today. There is a surprising green grass, young brightness to it for 7 years. I have had a few 5 year MGPs recently that we’re rich and deep without the young note. There is a great butterscotch note. Very rich. Surrounded by vanilla and baking spices. Hint of cherry too.
Medium mouth feel, bit thin on the edges. Bright vanilla upfront front gives way to the butterscotch and baking spices. That cherry comes back on subsequent sips and lingers on the legs.
This is an off profile MGP. It has familiar notes but I would probably not guess this is MGP blind. That rich butterscotch note holds up the entire experience but it is just okay.
