-
Nose:
Sweet corn, toffee, butter. Mild ethanol. Smells nice and sweet with very little astringency.
-
Taste:
Surprisingly nice mouthfeel. Sweet corn, vanilla, caramel and a good bit of clove. Oakiness here is drying and tannic although much less so than others. Nice balance here. Sweet, savory, well balanced
-
Finish:
Nice finish. Some heat but its long and rich. Not too much astringency.
-
Overall:
I think this pick is pretty darn good. By pick, I mean single barrel, but the same rules still go. There's definitely gobs of variation in all of these but I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
