2oz neat in Glencairn at home, courtesy of Matt the Lion. Cheers!
Nose has oak, cherry, cinnamon spice, some light dry grass. Taste is similar, with the spice coming on strong, then charred oak and light cherry, followed by a second wave of cinnamon spice that dissipate and lingers. This is not a subtle bourbon like the base 94. Slightly xerostomic, with the dried grass and hay notes reappearing, but only for a moment. Overall a very enjoyable bourbon. 8/20/2020.

Huh, that isn't the profile I expected from this. I definitely thought that there would be less char and more complexity. Not sure how to feel about this.
