Intense sweet toasted malty with multiple layers of caramel and toffee sticky malty sweetness, spiced dried fruit shred, lovely bourbon chiming in, full bodied, more bourbon into the lingering sweet warming malty close. Gorgeous.

Dark amber colour. Not much head on this. The aroma is great. It's nutty, barrely, light fig. On the palate, soft and sugary, with a subtle fruity complexity, with toastiness as well. Really nice complexity. The alcohol washes over the palate, but is still balanced by a lot of sugars. This is excellent, especially for my sweet tooth

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark burgundy with a tiny tan head. Aroma is full of big bourbon barrels, rye whiskey, brown sugar, and toffee. Flavour is nicely balanced and expressive, with lots of bourbon barrels, spicy rye whiskey, toffee, brown sugar, and caramel. Nice use of barrels, with a good malt backbone. Excellent.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear medium dark brown with minimal off-white head. Lots of barrel character, toffee malt, some dark fruits, feint nuttiness. Decent.

500mL bottle. Pours clear dark brown. Strong malt, rye whiskey, nuts, sweet malts on the nose; very nice. Flavour has great barley character, nice rye whiskey, a bit nutty, caramel sweetness; not a whole lot of booziness. This is fantastic.
