Nose is bold but also a little bit restrained, which works for me here. It shows both characteristics of the different oak toasting. Gooey caramel, toasted marshmallow, and coconut from the lighter toast and tobacco, chocolate, and oaky spice from the darker char. Really beautiful stuff here. Palate is rich, creamy, and wonderfully mouth-coating. Lots of the same beautiful flavors from the nose show up here. Pronounced, deep caramel, s'mores, tobacco, and leathery oak. That tobacco and oak carry the finish that is a tad bit dry but very long lasting. What an awesome bourbon. Top marks for ingenuity, craftsmanship, and execution. I wouldn't change a thing about this bourbon. Perfection
