Oh the hype. I finally found a backup that I egregiously overpaid for as part a local bars effort to keep avoid closing their doors. I figure it was a good deed... This pour comes from an old screw top bottle, probably open and 1/3 gone after 4-5 years. Was originally a birthday present obtained via a friend of a friend. Light copper in color, thin slow legs. Nose is heaps of fresh sawdust, cherries, ethanol, slight maple and imitation vanilla. Maybe a bit of pecan and tobacco but they’re faint at best. Thin, quickly builds with heat and mild sting. Loads of vanilla and cinnamon follow before settling into a dusty bit of milk chocolate, tobacco and mero chino cherry. This is good. I would say $45-50 good. It is very similar in profile to MM 46 CS as @dubz480 has said before. Actually reminds me quite a bit if the MM wood finishing 2020 as well with the sawdust but still has a thinner mouthfeel and shorter finish despite being a similar proof. The earthy, dusty flavors are excellent though but I’m a sucker for pipe tobacco aromas and flavors (sentimental reasons). Definite buy at MSRP. Admittedly I just paid double and if not for the sake of supporting a local establishment I’d be upset. Read before you sign... and then drink it.
