  • People don’t go to McDonald's for a gourmet burger, they go for convenience, and an agreeable balance of quality and value. That encapsulates Extra Aged in a nutshell.

  • There’s nothing you won’t enjoy here, but it’s short of a standout, too.

  • Honestly not bad. Not great, but it’s good enough for an occasional sipper and cocktail duty.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Caramel, honey, light funky peanut brittle. A little bit of youth here, but not a ton.

  • Taste:

    Sweet vanilla bean, a light hint of caramel. Faint oak, but also a bit of grainy youth.

  • Finish:

    Medium finish, pleasant oak and caramel. No major complexity, but plenty of character, from the extra time aging.

  • Overall:

    Honestly not bad. Not great, but it’s good enough for an occasional sipper and cocktail duty.

  • Score:
