Big fat bourbon aroma with rich, sticky toffee richness. Raisins, beautiful cognac, this has a gorgeous fruitiness, accentuated by the cognac, and the richness is matched by the bourbon. Intense, and just excellent all the way through.

500mL bottle. Pours murky dark brown with a minimal beige head. Thick malty nose, lots of bourbon barrel, molasses, gentle perfume. Flavour has caramel malts, burnt toffee, bourbon barrels, a touch of fruity cognac. Rich, complex, and well-balanced. This is excellent.
American oak, some dark fruits, boozy. Taste is along the same lines, a bit on the thinner side than I expected, a lot of caramel, some dark fruits. Moderately to highly sweet. Good one, but I don't understand the hype around.
Thx, Oleksandr!
