Blind tasting, nice medium amber and slow legs in the glass. The nose was light with apricot, caramel and a hint of oak char.
At first I thought this is to be a BT product. It was light bodied on entry with no burn. The palate showcased more apricot, toasted marshmallow and finished nicely into a short run of oak char.
I thought this could be Rock Hill Farm. Too much oak to be Elmer and not as sweet. Wrong and wrong.
I went back to nose it again and again and started finding more over ripe banana... Barton maybe? Possibly an OF but not with a proof this low. 🤔
Last sip - is that faint cherry, leather, could this be heaven hill - could this be - EC toasted! In a way it all makes sense. Much more caramel, char and fruit than the standard offering but not offensively so in any department. This is as likable as HM BiB and with the char does drink like a RHF. Price seems to be an issue as I was offered this once for $75 and passed. I would honestly consider this as a daily if available and $50 but sadly neither of those are true.

Could be confused for Rock Hill? Now I'm even more excited to try this!
