Tasting at Ryan's, bottle
Golden colour, just slightly hazy. Nice aroma of toffee and bourbon. Sweet, full bodied, it has some mellow toffee, and tons of vanilla/bourbon, and lots of alcohol warmth; it's not complex, but it's (simply) pleasant.

500ml (thx, Gerry!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: a bit hazy pale copper with a white head. Aroma: malty, a bit oxidized, some bourbon and booze. Taste: along the same lines, a bit boozy, lots of vanilla and creamy notes from the oak. Overall: ok.

Pale amber, just a slight haze. The aroma is malty, and there's some bubblegum to it. Soft body. Light sweetness. Touch of caramel. The barrel brings a fair bit of alcohol and sweetness. The base is fairly simple and I'm not convinced that the treatment adds to it.

500 ml bottle. Pours a clear mahogany with light head. Aromas of toffee, oak, candied orange, soft bourbon and sweet toasted malts. Flavors follow same with a bit more orange and bourbon. Slightly bitter and hot finish. Very nice.
