Nose
Smoky with prominent chocolate and almond notes. Banana and toasted coconut. Cardamom character. Waxy butcher paper and hay-like earthiness. Complex and layered with significant variation between barrels.
Palate
Oily, thicker, and heavier with strong spice. Smoked chocolate and crispy cream donut notes without excessive sweetness. Anise and black cherry present. Waxy butcher paper texture on the mouth. Heavier alcohols present with more pronounced flavors than the small batch.
Finish
Significant Kentucky hug with notable warmth and chest heat. Grows more pronounced than the small batch. Almond and cherry sweetness develops as the whiskey sits in glass. Long, warming finish with pronounced spice.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A bolder, unfiltered single barrel expression with smoky chocolate complexity, significant proof warmth, and layered spice that drinks hotter and richer than its small batch counterpart.
