What Our Editors Thought
"High-key bourbon-vanilla nose with milk chocolate—lightness defying visibly syrupy expectations. Curious balancing act, thoughtfully executed. Incredibly thick despite lighter flavors."
What Our Panel Thought
"Molten aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, molasses, vanilla, marshmallow—merging with a not-so-subtle alcohol. Oily and thick. Flavor envelops the tongue."
What the Brewers Say
"Aged in Four Roses barrels for 14 months, conditioned on 1.5 pounds per barrel of vanilla beans."
