Neat. Opened for over 6 months. My Father’s Day hitter pour. Honestly, the nose is challenging me to draw anything. Must be me. Some buttery, slightly burnt graham cracker crust with some custard. Black pepper with a bit of bite. Caramel drizzle. Hint of raspberries. Mouth feel is syrupy, syrupy where you can even feel the grit to it. Initially it is very dark, brown sugar and maple with a bit of sourness from those raspberries. Taste hits me with that custard, proceeded by the buttery graham cracker crust. Legs are caramel, hint of oak and the black pepper. Oak lingers quite a bit. Nose is really coming alive now that I have been sitting with it. Could have been my palate and the first pour of the day. These great fruit notes are emerging. Cherries, blueberries. Starting to paint a more complete picture of a fruit tart really. Getting some darker notes of coffee and leather now too. It’s such a beautiful pour. Less in my face than I remembered. It’s just so well balanced. Sweet but not too sweet. Not over oaked. Slight bitter and sour, but it compliments. At the same time, it doesn’t stand out to me like it once did. No characteristic really stands out to put it over the top though. I simultaneously enjoyed it while being slightly disappointed.
