500 ml. Bottle # 241/550. Aroma and flavor are exceptional. Aroma is of course a little more spicy then the standard Woodford. Mild pepper and rye. Flavor is still amazingly smooth. Spicy rye does help balance the sweet base barley wine. Again no alcohol flavor is noticed. Pretty damn amazing. The balance is awesome!

Bottle pour shared with TJ and Chris. It's a clear brown (root beer) with thin cap of light brown head, nice viscosity and no lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon with rye spice, caramel, toffee, brown sugar and fig. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation, mild esophageal heat, and finish as taste. Overall, very nice addition to the base though less dark fruit.
4/26/21 241/550 aroma is barrel, toffee, dark fruit, oak. Taste is rye, raisin, brown sugar, nice barrel treatment. Similar to the Woodford but different. Well done.
