Neat. Neck pour. NASA Liquors pick. Traded a bourbon friend a bottle I had multiples of for a barrel I have never had. So glad Old Scout jumped back on the MGP train. This is my 8th bottle from a different barrel. Only two have been disappointments thus far. Oh this is a good pick on the nose. Lacks the MGP young note, which is a big turn off for me. I’m excited! Getting a ton of citrus on this one, orange peel specifically. There is a lot of vanilla with it, creating a dream sucks effect. There is a little graham cracker covered in honey but the nose mostly stays light and bright. The fact that it can stay this bright and not exhibit the youthfulness is great. The Old Scout picks I have liked the most have been darker in nature with the youth blocked out by the heavy barrel influence. This one is going down a different route on the nose. Super oily. The graham cracker and honey are dominating at first. Wow. This is a good one. Transitions into the orange and vanilla. And the orange lingers and lingers. And lingers. Delayed Kentucky hug. More orange. Ooo starting to get a chocolate note on subsequent sips. Doesn’t get much better than this for a $50 MGP. I would guess this is in the 7 year range blind, it’s hitting well above its class. And this is the neck pour. I think this is the best of the young MGP picks I have grabbed recently. I will need to blind this against the Gallenstein and Party Source after it has a chance to open up.
