100 proof. Bottled in Bond - at least 4 years old. Non-chill filtered.
N: Cherry cola, nutmeg, a bit floral with a touch of spearmint.
P: Cherry cola (very dominant through the 1st 1/3 of the bottle), cinnamon, figs, peanut oil, spearmint, caramel.
F: Mildly astringent, spearmint, chocolate tart cherries.
This is way different than the Old Tub from the distillery! The distillery version sold in the pints is very cornbread forward. This is certainly not. This is cherry cola forward. I don’t know what they changed on this from the distillery version, although the distillery version does not mention anything about being non-chill filtered. Maybe that’s the only difference? If it is, it’s makes a huge difference in taste profile! I prefer the distillery version. I was disappointed in this release; I personally didn’t care for the cherry cola thing this has in abundance - especially before the bottle airs out some.
