- [ ] 750 ml bottle. Aroma has bold vanilla, caramel, soft oak. Flavor follows with the addition of sugar coated figs. Some soft alcohol notes after the sip. Decent for sure.

750mL bottle, undated, from Chalumeaux, drunk 9/16/23. Clear deep amber. Small, beige head quickly to ring. Oh yeah, toffee and vanilla, nicely barreled is super mellow, yet great richness from bourbon. Has that Maker's vintage feel, very woody, with none of the somewhat sharp, hot Woodford character. Wood and oak really balances the vanilla, raisin, toffee of the base beer. Very fruity, very English, no booze. Soft, fruity, heavy oak and wood, very soft and mellow on the bourbon with woody notes and lots of lingering vanilla, toffee, raisin. These bourbons do a great job of balancing the malt. Soft, rich, malty, but with good attenuation and balancing bourbon dryness and spiciness.

Bottle pour shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! It's a hazy maple syrup with ring of off white head. Aroma is strong caramel, fig, bourbon, vanilla. Taste is strong caramel, fig, bourbon, oak. Mouthfeel is smooth, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish is oaky yeasty bitterness. Overall, aroma and flavor are all there but the finish is unsatisfying.

Bottle shared by Yaniv, thanks! Pours a clear copper with a brown hue and a thin white head that dissipates quickly and completely. Aroma has strong barrel notes with sweet grains and toff with booze supporting. Flavor has lots of bread and sweet grains with growing booze and barrel notes.
