Neat. Neck pour. Gallenstein “Over the hump” 26. 14+ years. I love KC old picks and excited to dive into a new one I haven’t tried. Color on this one is DARK. The nose is leaping from the bottle already. Man yet another amazing KC pick. This nose is glorious. The cherry is just jumping from the glass. Heavy leather and charred caramel. Salted pretzel. Geez the brine in this one is definitely beyond any KC pick I’ve had before. The cherry has subsided into a fantastic apple. There is something unique in this nose. Almost a ginger. Reminds me of Thai. That’s quite odd, but it’s really good. I’m going to hang with this nose for a bit... Texture is surprising. It’s light and fluffy. These are usually much thicker and viscous. Cinnamon apple all over the tongue. Transitions into intense caramel. Yet again that salted pretzel from the nose is coming through. This is salty! Like Jefferson’s Ocean briny. So strange but really good. Mmm that cherry is now really coming through two. This sweet and salty combo is nuts. Yet another awesome KC single barrel that was only like $45. No way they keep selling these picks so cheap. They have been the best value in all of bourbon for like two years now and they still keep hitting well above their price range. Why buy the 15 year KC for $100+ if I can get this for $45? Crazy.
