Neck pour in Norlan, sitting for 15 minutes. Splash of water.
Sticky sweet honey and vanilla up front. Notes of lemon and orange zest, dark chocolate, black plums, nutmeg and cinnamon each meld beautifully with each other. Cherry cola notes linger as well. Very seamless nose if not a little tame for the proof .
Honey and vanilla jump out first followed by notes of fruity pastry. Think pear tart with some whipped cream on top. But before these sweet notes take over, you get a nice hit of oak char and pumpkin pie spice. Mouthfeel is superb with great viscosity and weight.
What stands out most to me in this bourbon is the finish, dominated by chocolate malted milk balls and vanilla that goes on for minutes. Absolutely stellar and memorable.
First WFE, quite impressed with all they packed in this bottle in 6+ years.
