Sample. Won at auction in support of St. Jude. This is the final blend of the Beagle Rare collaboration mixed by Kentucky Owl’s Dixon Dedman.
Completely different experience from the original blend on the nose. Original blend had these chocolates and dominate peanut butter. This is much lighter and brighter. Vanilla ice cream and apples. The longer it opens up though it begins to shift. Graham cracker crust, caramel custard, sweet cherry sauce. Blueberries? Cinnamon. Back to the apples, but a candied Apple even. No peanut remains from the original blend. Gosh now the bright notes are becoming dominant again. Fun one to pick apart.
Creamy smooth texture, sweet cherry cola on the tongue. Takes you for a little ride. Starts dark with more oak than I was expecting. Cherry cola comes round again. Nice cinnamon apple. Caramel and more cherry. Back to the oak which lingers for quite a while.
The oak on the nose is more prominent than it was before the taste. Getting some salted pretzel now as well. The legs on this is the best part. Still getting flavors (oak and cherry cola) many minutes later.
A fun pour! Hard to imagine how this blend started dominated by peanut butter and ended on a great fruit filled, oaky ride. I have a bit left of each sample to enjoy the rest of the night. Glad I could be a part of this experience and support a good cause.
