I’m tasting a hand select bottle (Barrel 12172). Nose is very nice, floral with oak, caramel, vanilla, maple and brown sugar, maybe some leather. Alcohol smell is a little strong but not overpowering. Palate, smooth up front and in the middle. Small punch in the back that lingers quite a while(107 Proof). Oak flavors, faint cherry, green apples. First taste, will report more later. Added one ice cube and it changed completely. It feels flat now. The nose is still very nice but the taste flattened out. I’ll try a few drops of water next time.
