Loads of vanilla on the nose and that continues into the palate with some hints of cherry/ dark fruits and the obviously oak. I am finding some similar characteristics to the Heaven Hill 27 which I am sure is no doubt due to the age. Turns out I am a big oak fan but I’m my opinion this is not over-oaked at all, very tasty. The long finish lingers with sweetness and again the aged oak comes through, amazing pour!!
