  • Hints of dark chocolate and berried fruit add complexity. Dry, spicy, tobacco, and leather-tinged finish. Great complexity!

  • Delicious and unique, big flavors and a nice complex profile all over. I'm not sure I really enjoyed the level of citrus that came out here, but it was still very enjoyable overall.

  • Nose:

    Baking spices, pound cake, big vanilla, big fruity molasses. Pepper. I keep saying big because the nose is really quite impressive.

  • Taste:

    Rich oily mouthfeel, pepper, thick rye spice. Light passion fruit. Nice oak and some toffee, caramel and orange peel.

  • Finish:

    Long, drying and tannic. Brown sugar, molasses, orange peel.

  • Overall:

    Delicious and unique, big flavors and a nice complex profile all over. I'm not sure I really enjoyed the level of citrus that came out here, but it was still very enjoyable overall. I was recently lamenting that all of my other OBSK bottles are under 10 years old and I think that is for the better. The tannins were a hair heavy handed so I'll be curious to see how those compare when I review younger barrels.
