Oak Stave Selection By: Plum Market 1 Baked American Pure 2 Seared French Cuvée 3 Maker's 46 3 Roasted French Mocha 1 Toasted French Spice 54.85% 109.7 Proof Aggressive nose, quite a nice surprise. Caramel, brown sugar, sweet cherry, nutmeg, and clove. Some leathery oak but its faint at the back end. Starts things off with a sweet blast of cherry, some Flinstones vitamins, oak, and creme caramel. It coats the tongue quite well and is a great proof with just the right amount of heat. Finish lingers nicely and stays sweet still. Mouth is a little numb. The palate compared to the nose was a bit of a let down. This is a situation where the sum of the parts is not greater than the whole. Loved the nose Loved the weight and mouthfeel Palate was a bit subdued Finish was a bit weak Still rather enjoyable Will try again in a few weeks to check on this one.
