Bottle. Pours caramel malt tan head. Nose/taste of rye, bourbon, oak, caramel, maple syrup and touch of spice - medium/full bodied for the style.

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours dark brown with a slight creamy/fizzy beige head. Aroma is bourbon and med dark fruit. Med + body. Flavor is bourbon, chocolate, hint of rye. Fair amount of alcohol. Which blends with the flavors. Oak comes forth with time. Heat develops in the gullet. Nice sipper.

750mL bottle pours with a muddy amber body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up all boozy sweet whiskey and such and then running headlong into boozy fairly rough heat. Well beneath the booze notes are light whiffs of malts and maybe molasses. The taste is similar with smooth sweet boozy whiskey smoothened and sweetened by a modest level of sweet malts and molasses notes. This is rich and malty and with some toffee and molasses coming to the surface here and there. There’s still a good deal of whiskey from front to back and I guess it is a good thing it is so smooth. A little less barrel time would be nice to try.
