12oz (thx, Terry M.!) @ Ryan's.
Aroma: American oak, tobacco, a bit inky, toasted barrel, bold, some sweetness.
Taste: along the same lines, a lot of toasted oak, medium- to full-bodied.
Overall: it's pretty good, but quite far from excellent BMs from Weller and Rye barrels.

Poured from 355mL bottle (pkg 8.25.21). Near black with no head. Woody bourbon, very smooth, feint ash and chocolate. The smoothness and integration is quite nice, but there's also something almost muted about it. Very good, but not quite excellent.
