Smoky and complex with smoked almond covered in chocolate. Notes of toasted coconut and cardamom. Waxy butcher paper character similar to fresh butcher paper used for smoking brisket. Anise and black cherry present.

Oily and heavier with stronger alcohols converted into interesting esters during barrel aging. Pronounced anise and licorice, more intense than the small batch. Smoked chocolate and crispy character without sweetness. Waxy mouthfeel. Distinct Kentucky hug with warming sensation that drinks hotter than the proof suggests.

Notably warmer and longer than the small batch. Almond and subtle sweetness emerge as the whiskey sits in the glass. Persistent smoky chocolate and licorice with good campfire sipper qualities.
