- Excerpt: I couldn't be happier that they dropped the 12yr age statement. This is definitely younger, and far better than the older, dry and overoaked releases I've had before this. This is nice and complex, with good depth and balance.

Honey, vanilla, caramel, faint oak. Sweet, buttered corn. Faint allspice.

Medium length, mild heat, sweet cream and rich toffee. Sweet buttered popcorn.

I couldnt be happier that they dropped the 12yr age statement. This is definitely younger, and far better than the older, dry and overoaked releases Ive had before this. This is nice and complex, with good depth and balance.
