Neck. Sample from the Bourbon Junkies. So rich. The oak comes across like chocolate from a fountain. Plum. Leather. Toffee. Caramel brittle with chucks of melted marshmallow. Slight hint of cotton candy. This is a special nose. Bit thinner than I was expecting. While it is lower proof sometimes the oils in these old whiskies can still make it creamy. Very light and sugary bright on the tongue, surprisingly so. Oh it packs the flavor. A wonderful cherry note gives way to a blast of vanilla which then transitions to a beautiful oak. Best part about this oak is that it is not drying overly drying. Legs linger with that vanilla and oak. The oak is as creamy as it smelled, once again like a melted milk chocolate fountain spooned straight in my mouth. I might even describe the whole experience as a cherry cordial. This is a beautiful pour. Absolutely gorgeous. I did a quick head to head with Rhetoric 24, the flavors on the Lost Prophet just crush it. Rhetoric 24 is delicious on its own but Lost Prophet is more dynamic pour with all the different flavors.
