Enjoyed neat in a Glencairn. Nose: Vanilla extract, baking spice, banana peel; every other smell I get a hint of cola in the end. Palate: Soft flavor and thin body are the first things I noticed, the thin body really lasts the entire sip. The vanilla extract turns in to more of a raw vanilla bean. Butterscotch candy in sweetness and flavor. Some watery oakiness, hint of banana cream towards the end that gets overtaken by the wood. Finish: Soft and reminiscent of saw dust with a hint of cinnamon. Long finish especially for how thin it is. Overall: This was an enjoyable dram, but not sure I would go out of my way for it. I was keeping my eyes out for it for a couple months but got lucky to find it at my local Total Wine for around $45. It’s better than 1792 Small Batch but doesn’t hold a flame up to 1792 BiB, even though the ABV is 49.3% (compared to 50% in BiB) it does have a bit more alcohol coming through. The thin palate really hurts it... To me these single barrels and most single barrel whiskies can be hit or miss depending on the barrel, where is was placed in the barrel house, how long it was aged, among many other factors...
