Tasting at Matt's; vintage 2016
Near black color. Mild aroma of roasted malts, nuts, tobacco. Good body strength, nice dark chocolate flavor, hints of tobacco and whiskey, with long final.
Very good.

Bottle - Lots of whiskey and hot notes. Dark coco and some light roast. Jet brown with a small light brown head. Roast and coffee with some light chocolate notes. Lots of heat and a long finish.

375mL bottle, pours black with a rather tiny tan head. Aroma is somewhat heavy, with whiskey barrels, light roasted malt, and vanilla. Flavour is very similar, with a nice blend of whiskey barrels and vanilla beans dominating upfront, with light roasted malt. Really nice whiskey character imparted here - not too brutal or dominating, but lends a great complexity overall. Great stuff.
