Was very excited to try this but was left dissatisfied. I know these types of bottles can be very barrel dependent.
Barrel 622
Appearance: light in color, crazy long legs on the glass, always exciting.
Nose:
Almost smells of a single malt aged in bourbon barrels. It’s not a distinct “bourbon” and has a weird acrylic/plastic note on the back end. Other than that there is a overall grainy sweetness which is pleasant. Lots of grain.
Taste:
No other way to put than simple, a indistinct sweetness that does not evolve as you chew. Smooth? absolutely. Very rich mouth feel.
Finish:
What finish?
Overall: Okay, it’s smooth and would make a great beginner pour, but I don’t see myself returning for this neat. May have just gotten a boring barrel. I find myself looking for different flavors which are non existent. Maybe will need to try a different years bottling.
