Leather, spice and everything nice...
Dark-medium amber. Sloooooow legs. Rich vanilla, spice and sun dried oak in the nose with a singe if ethanol. All of this in a cognac glass while out. Some floral and tobacco notes as well.
Not thick but certainly oily. This is hot - leather, tannins, brown butter, toffee, pecans. Further in I get red apple, cinnamon and more sweetness comes out. Finish lasts forever, brings back more cinnamon and vanilla with tannins bouncing back and forth.
I neglected to write this down earlier but 3/4 the way through my pour I picked up something that reminded me of fertilizer. Full disclosure, I’ve never tasted fertilizer. There seemed to be a noticeable mineral quality underneath it all. Kind of fascinating as this isn’t something I’ve gotten from a bourbon before. Maybe I’m nuts, maybe it was because I was sitting outdoors in August, maybe I should start drinking less once the pandemic is over...

I'm looking forward to trying this one. It's been quite contentious because of the lower proof, but from everything I've heard the flavor is phenomenal. Glad you liked it so much and nice find getting it for only $25 per pour.
