My buddy brought this over tonight to share. Thanks Aaron! Deep deep flavors and smells here Nose: It smells thick! Weird description, I know. You’re greeted at the door by the alcohol/ethanol burn. But right after you get this deep buttery maple syrupy toffee honey. Smells like grape jam as well. There’s this metallic/ minty/ sharp end to the nose. It’s like ordering a triple chocolate cake with chocolate frosting topped with chocolate syrup. You already feel the richness before you take a first bite. Taste: All the smells I mentioned above slap your tongue. Lots of deep brown sugar flavors. that fruity jam definitely comes through as well. Feels like a whiskey concentrate. If you let it sit, you can taste the oak barrel it sat in, flavors of leather, mint, and coffee. Spice lingers at the end and coats your mouth. I really enjoyed this bottle. Bourbons have not been my fave but I’d definitely pick up a bottle of this.
