Neat. Neck pour. Toasted barrel MGP! I love toasted barrel finished bourbon and never seen a toasted barrel MGP until today. I’m guessing this is 5 to 7 year MGP based on the price ($69). The color is nice and dark due to the extra barrel but not Woodford Double Oaked or 1920 dark. Looks like a 12 year MGP. On the nose, it is stereotypical 5 year MGP. I’d equate it to Mic Drop 3.0. There is a young MGP green note that dominates more than I like. Getting behind it, there is a nice butterscotch, chocolate and nutmeg. Blind, I don’t think I would call this a toasted barrel finish. The toasted marshmallow I get on other toasted products is there but very faint. I don’t think it spent too long in that second barrel, maybe three months. There is a really nice buttery and flaky pastry crust as I spend more time with it. The green note is becoming more Apple than just young whiskey as I sit with it longer too. I think the finishing took off the edges and spikiness of young MGP that I don’t enjoy, but I don’t think it added new dynamics based on the nose. Oh, great texture. So oily and creamy. I know this one isn’t chilled filtered because there are so many floating barrel chunks in my glass. Cinnamon apple sweetness up front. And that Apple really comes out punching as it starts out so bright. But it darkens slowly. Butterscotch comes back and transitions into some nice salted light chocolate. The legs are really good. Toasted marshmallow emerges and leaves a nice lingering MGP cherry note. Okay, this one won me over by the end. The youngness on the nose was an initial turn off and the toasted barrel finish is just a subtle addition to the experience, but the flavors are there on the taste and finish. Starting at Apple, transition to the desert flavors and ending on cherry is unique for a MGP too. I would love to try an older toasted MGP that spends more time in the second barrel. As it stands with this bottle, the toasted barrel made a young MGP much better but this isn’t the 1920 MGP I hoped it would be. Still a good value for MGP at the price.
