pictoman Profile

Poured from 500mL bottle (2025 vintage, red label; 12% abv). Side by side with bourbon barrel variant. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Slightly softer green wood note with a more robust bourbon underlay. Whiskey feature beer, prefer this over the bourbon variant just by a touch. Neither are especially complex.

Double Barrel-Aged Decoy Private Reserve - Eagle Rare & Sazerac from Fonta Flora Brewery

2 months ago

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Poured from 750mL bottle (batch 1; bottled Dec 2023; blue label, burgundy wax). Side by side with Weller & Buffalo Trace variant. Very dark brown with small beige head. More neutral bourbon, slightly boozier and a touch more body, dark sugars. Prefer the body of this one, but the bourbon flavours of the other. Needs to be blended.
