House Review

Intro:
This is a single barrel of MGP distillate bottled by Smooth Ambler. It is 12 years old.
Nose:
Thick clove, allspice, pepper, tobacco, caramel and vanilla. Its not super interesting, but it is really rich.
Taste:
Thick, rich. Mild heat. Clementine, tobacco, pepper, vanilla, cocoa and caramel. Oddly fruity, but in a good way. Really rich cocoa. Its the stereotypical MGP profile, but everything is so rich and thick, its impressive.
Finish:
Long, mild, sweet. Caramel, toffee and vanilla before a long, spicy, earthy, tobacco heavy exit.
Overall:
I really like this. It was rich, complex and totally on profile for MGP bourbon, but in a good way. Really rich and complex.
Score:
7
