Michter's US*1 Limited Release Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash, 43%

The nose is mouthwatering, thanks to ample aromas of powdered donut, molasses cookie, graham cracker, sugar-coasted cashews, and a dollop of honey. With swirling, some fresh apple slice is coaxed out as well. These notes persist on the palate, but here they’re accompanied by orange peel, strawberry candies, caramel syrup, and a bit of espresso, too. The finish continues with that fruit, though it’s overcome by a dash of cocoa powder and vanilla.
