375mL bottle pours with a clear deep mahogany colored body that tosses up thin legs. The aroma pulses with oak and bourbon booze, a touch of vanilla and then faint caramel. The taste delivers boozy bourbon and oak that borders on being a bit harsh. It gets oaky, a bit vanilla and caramel. Well behind those notes is a mild sweet honey sweetness. After a while it grows on me but remains too barrel forward and too rough around the edges.

Bottle thanks to my mom! Pours a clear deep amber with no head whatsoever. Aroma has a strong booze note with underlying sweet honey vanilla. Flavor has a combination of vanilla and honey with a growing vanilla note.
