The barrels that went into this small batch were combined to make an amazing drink. The nose is beautiful with a layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful. The palette has a robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. A delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel. The finish is long and the spices dominates, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.
