Nose- Stewed dark fruits; dark, juicy cherries; cinnamon; heavy oak; confectioners sugar; vanilla; leather; tobacco; touch of lemon at the end
Palate- Wave of aged, spicy oak; baking spices; dark berries; chocolate fudge; toasted marshmallows; rich caramel
Finish- Long, oily finish; Just the right amount of spice; cherries; musty, aged oak; chocolate
This is delicious, plain and simple. Many complain about the “low” abv, but forget that it’s still very much barrel proof GTS goodness. I believe this to be among the most drinkable and enjoyable GTS releases out there. Just tons and tons of tasting notes on the nose, palate and finish. This is complex, rich and full bodied, with a wonderful long finish. At MSRP, this is a steal. I would happily pay upwards of 250, maybe even 300 for this bottle. A stunner.
