Dark red with tiger eye brown to amber edges under a fluid surface.
A boozy Tootsie Roll nose introduces an even boozier palate. There are then revealed tons of dark fruit, like cocoa dates, while the heat comes back up on the exhale despite its solid viscosity. Some vanilla caramel rum fumes come up as it warms.
Who told them they were allowed to hit 20% on this behemoth god damn!

I was curious about this one because of the cognac barrels, harkening back to the original ADWTD. I get more oak and vanilla than in the others I've tried. I'm pleasantly surprised by how prominently the cognac barreling comes across! The familiar boozy caramel and abundant bourbon are certainly noticeable but damned if cognac doesn't steal the show. I'm loving the marshmallow fluff note I sometimes get from grape booze barrels. And oh my the potent fermented grape juice flavors are amazing. Plenty of legs on the glass but this isn't quite as thick and sticky as others in this series. Overall this is an all-timer for me, absolutely loving this one.
