Words don’t do this one justice. Single barrel purchased 2019, 104 proof and dark amber in the bottle but more of a burnt orange in the glass. Opened this many moons ago and is to this day a bottle I would take anywhere. A burst of pine forest on a hot, cloudless day. Clover honey, cedar, Earl Grey tea and tobacco. The nose just doesn’t stop evolving. It’s like breakfast and hot baked cinnamon rolls are calling... The entry is spicy and full of citrus, tobacco, clove and pecans. No bite per se but a building warmth with the long finish that returns to the Earl Grey and clover honey with pine spice and maybe a puff of char. Compared to a Willett 4y rye this has more clover honey sweetness and the pine spice. Both are fantastic and while I’d gladly sip either this one creates an odd, almost emotional attachment. I think it’s due to the finish (powerful, lasting, damn-near inspiring). This is truly something special. Could it be better? I’d like a little more viscosity, maybe some leather layered in there. With those additions I might hide a body for this whiskey... Some things are better left the way they are. @WhiskeyLonghorn it may be the one - by which I mean don’t buy it or sell me yours.
