Bottle thanks to Potjebier, medium sample. Dark color, medium fizzy head. Aroma of roast and coffee together with copious amounts of biscuity bourbon, some vanilla, slight booze. In taste quite some sweetness, bit chocolate and coffee, some roasty bitterness. Not as full bodied as some other bourbon aged RIS, but still very tasty.

Bottle. Pours a jet black color with a medium white head. A big, no massive bourbon nose. The flavor is a showcase for Pappy, smooth vanilla, some wood, sugary, no heat. This is damn smooth. Roast, cocoa, some raisin. More awesome Pappy.

750mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out smoky whiskey notes, roasted malt and wood - super complex. Flavour follows accordingly, with licorice, chocolate and complex smoky bourbon notes. Super complex and well-balanced, finishing sweet, chocolate and smoky. Excellent.
