Beautiful nose without overpowering sweetness. Nice caramel waft with oaky spice characteristic of E.H. Taylor. Belgian waffle with confectioners sugar and syrup. Subtle mint note (double mint quality) layered on top of caramel sweetness.
Amazing character from barrel with pronounced barrel notes beyond just oak—true barrel spice evident. Soft sweetness up front from wheat. Bourbon ball flavor (Rebecca Ruth candies) with chocolate and bourbon notes. Big League Chewing Gum powdery sweetness note. Slight bitterness or tannin on the tail end that complements rather than detracts.
Dry powdery finish with lingering barrel spice and tannins that remain pleasant rather than harsh.
