Blake's Tasting Notes: The nose starts very nice and balanced. Rich oak, dates, and orange bitters. There’s a touch of vanilla and roasted pecan. But when it hits the palate, wow! It’s a double fudge brownie with caramelized cherries. Incredibly viscous and indulgent. The two different finishing barrels marry in the best way. Sweet oak and tobacco from the Zak barrel combine with toasty vanilla bean ice cream from the Kelvin barrel. There’s more of the pecan on the nose. That begins to develop into a brighter fruit and spice note as it transitions to the back palate. Orange creamsicle, sage and oak spice linger long after the pour is finished.
