$38 bottle; Bottle opened for a month and 2/3 full. Tasted neat in Glencairn; rested 10 minutes. On the nose there's a tad of ethanol but not much given the proof, and underneath a slight vanilla sugar spice shows with a faint hint of malt. On the palate, the mouthfeel is neither creamy nor too oily; there's an initial wave of nice sweet vanilla, some light brown sugar and perhaps caramel, but then a spicy malt flavor appears that mixes in nicely and lingers. Oak and char characteristics are not really apparent. And as the medium+ length spicey finish slowly fades away, a malty cocoa (not bitter, but instead like malted cocoa covered cherries) flavor remains. I find the pour interesting, and different in a very good way that grabs my attention and keeps me coming back for more. The different nuances in this juice is impressive given its reported 2 year age on the back label. Definitely one to follow as their stock ages, and believe they are on to something with how they use these malted grains in their mash bill. Feel this firmly deserves a 4.0 rating, however decided to bump it up to 4.25 because of the value it delivers at under $40 a bottle.
