-
Nose:
Bright and sweet, corn forward, full of sweetness and caramel popcorn notes. Fresh, buttery biscuits, light vanilla bean. Lovely and sweet.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, a touch of heat but the reward of rich viscosity and a buttery, silky texture. Pecans, sweet and corn forward, butter cream and some lemon bar notes.
-
Finish:
Long finish, it works well here. Light on oak, sweet and light on tannin, honey and some butterscotch.
-
Overall:
Overall, this drinks remarkably different than batch 32, featuring brighter, sweeter, more corn forward notes with just a touch of oak in the background. It drinks younger, sweeter and more corn and bread forward. Fans with a sweet tooth and no aversion to lighter, sweeter tannins will be wowed. If you were hoping for big oak and spice on this batch, perhaps wait for 34 to dawn.
