What Our Editors Thought

“Deep charred-oak notes in the aroma with bitter chocolate and just a hint of red berry. Almond butter richness in the flavor is honed by the lower sweetness and stronger chocolate notes. Full yet punchy and succinct.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Leathery and rich. Significant but velvety-smooth alcohol, with layers of dried cherries, nutty nougat, bourbon, oak, and caramel malt. Vanilla provides additional complexity. Finish has a deep burnt-sugar overtone with toffee notes.”

What the Brewers Say

“Aged 52 months in Blanton’s barrels.”
