Neat. Opened around 9 months. In a saucy mood tonight and feel like exploring things I haven’t had in awhile. EHTBP has a special place in my heart as the first bourbon to show me what bourbon could be. Still getting cherry vanilla cola on the front of the nose but it isn’t as dominate as the neck pour. Graham cracker covered in honey. Clove. Super charred caramel and butterscotch to go with it. Slight hint of chocolate. It’s a bit hot too, need to approach with care. Perfect, thick and viscous mouth feel. Coats the mouth instantly with heavy oils. Cherry cola explosion at first and then it upper cuts with cherry cola a second time when I let my guard down. Cinnamon and clove. Tons of rich butterscotch. Cherries on the legs and they linger a long time. I just went cherry picking and that notes is fresh in my mind. It is still there a solid two minutes later too. Amazing after taste. Man, what a pour. This bottle is amazing. I loved this on the neck pour and the extra shelf time has just brought so many flavors out and intensified some of the ones I remember from before.
