After 385 days in whiskey-drenched, charred oak barrels, we released it from its chamber on Leap Day 2016. With a faceted gem of nuanced aromas and tastes, boldly roasted chocolate malts, deep dark whiskey, molasses, and boundless, brazenly-rich oakiness. Semisweet chocolate, vanilla, and dark stone fruits arrive upon subsequent sips, and as you delve into the unending subtly of licorice, honey, and allspice, you’re left with smooth caramel that saunters on the palate.

22oz bottle from 2017 RIS tasting. Another normal looking pour, with a nice gem lurking inside. Big, boozy aroma, some sweet vanilla , some coffee and roast grains. Taste is boozy up front, with e sweet roasty goodness following. Nice finish.
