Bottle pour at Clybourn, 12/1/23. Clear with deep burgundy edges and a thin ring of tan bubbles. Classic BCBS notes of brown sugar, milk chocolate and vanilla are joined by rich cherry and spice of the eagle rare. Round, rich, soft, no aggressive or boozey notes. So much mellow black pepper lingering. Soft, rich, succulent. Lots of plum melding into light berry and black pepper. Mild cherry and vanilla from the eagle rare. So soft, rich and round just like the bourbon. Easygoing, drinkable, just a touch of heft with no booze, excess sugar or intense liquor.
