22oz @ SF shared with almost full gang (missing two biggest guys only).
Aroma: something weirdly harsh, like a lot of wood? Earthy, some sweetness, a bit of dark fruits and glue.
Taste: along the same lines, very woody, harsh, intense, Three Ryes is definitely dominating.
Overall: harsh, but interesting.

Medium, lots of bourbon on the nose, with a bit of fruitiness. This has a good blend - some toasty stout notes but then some fruity barley wine, lots of vanilla from the barrel, and there's a bit of alcohol in the finish. The full body, big sugars on the body, with barley wine influence. Some toasty notes, with some rye in there as well.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small beige head. Aroma is full of intense bourbon, deep wood, roasted malt, and some toasted caramel. Flavour is massively dominated by woody bourbon, medium roast, some booze, and buried sugars. Woody, bourbon, boozy finish. Integrated and complex. Excellent.

Poured from 650mL bottle (2021 Edition). Dark brown with minimal off white head. Lightly leathery bourbon with dark dried fruit underlay, feint roast in the background, lightly boozy, decent.

[2021 Vintage] 650mL bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Plenty of bourbon, brown sugar, and barrels on the nose. Flavour has tons of bourbon, wood, and a rich & deep malt character. This is fantastic, great malts, big barrels, all well integrated.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is toffee, dark fruit, cocoa, wood, bourbon. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, boozy, very good.
