Nose: sweet, spicy, fruity, and warm. The classic vanilla note is present, but more spice-influenced like aged rum.
Palate: In the mouth, the bourbon is sweet and viscous with a moderate astringency from grippy tannins.
Finish: Same as aromas with notes of chocolate orange peels, apricot marmalade on dark rye toast, and roasted bananas and leafs

Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Butterscotch rounding into fresh oak, with hints of vanilla and rye spice.
Palate: Broad, fulsome mouthfeel, leading to a sweeter vanilla accent, before a gathering of rye spices (clove, cinnamon, mint, dark berry) into the finish.
Finish: Long, rye-led finish, with brambly red-black fruits amid white pepper and clove.
