Nose
The most oak-forward nose of the session with sweet oak, brown sugar, and leather notes without aggressive ethanol heat despite the high proof.
Palate
Intensely concentrated with toffee, peanut shell, rich caramel, and a pronounced amaretto-almond note. Coats the tongue with persistent flavor layering.
Finish
Long, lingering amaretto and almond character with robust oak backbone.
Top notch
A powerfully concentrated barrel proof that showcases masterful oak integration and nutty-sweet flavor complexity, though somewhat predictable in its intensity.
