Tasting Notes Nose: The nose starts off with lots of rich oak scents. Seasoned oak and oak spice come to mind the most. Fine chocolate (like being inside of a chocolatier) scents combine with vanilla. Peculiarly, I get a flat grape soda note as well. This has a lot of traits in common with a couple Eagle Rare single barrels I’ve had in the past. But the one note I was not expecting was a very slight touch of youthful distillate. This is hard to explain since it’s not necessarily green oak or herbal, but it smells closer to sawdust or cardboard. It’s not enough to throw anything off, but it is enough that whenever you do come across it, it gets your attention. Palate: The Eagle Rare similarities continue except the mouthfeel on this one is very thick, almost syrup like. Oak is somewhat dominant throughout while baking spices and chocolate eclairs amp up the fun factor. Caramel lends its sweetness and chocolate covered espresso beans remind me immediately of the French Oak influence. Golden Graham’s cereal combines with toasted orange peel, figs and dates. I’m happy that I’m able to find fruit flavors in this one because Michter’s bourbons are typically absent of them. There is one bad trait hiding within though. I can pick up on some green wood notes that hide behind the French Oak notes and it gives it a bit of astringency every now and then. It’s like a small portion of a 2-year-old barrel got blended into the entire vat by mistake. Strange. Finish: The finish is rather long. The whole thing is a balanced and flavorful affair that shows off lingering notes of oak, cigar wrapper, hot chocolate, vanilla cappuccino and sugar cookies. The fruit on the palate remains with some dried stone fruits. Honestly, the hot chocolate note is the star of the show.
