Tried by the pool neat with @Looneyhead while waiting for crawfish to be finished soaking. On the nares I get sour char, toast, vanilla, wood. On the palate it’s extremely smooth, sour, and sweet with notes of cherries, citrus, sour mash. It’s somewhat thin and interesting. More sips It’s herbal and I get wood, mint, white pepper, pooperi. It’s somewhat complex, I’m here for it.

Odd but complex nose of cola, wheat, green herbs, Christmas spices, peach, ethanol, apple cider, menthol and potpourri; like whiskey and amaro. It smells like a Christmas shop. Similar on the palate; potpourri, charred wood, black pepper, barrel spice and vanilla. Definitely odd, but interesting. Finishes slightly peppery with some sweet corn, cinnamon and caramel.
I guess I don't like wheat...very thin, can taste the alcohol, and the only notes are average to below average waves. It's too sweet. There's light oak and vanilla, but the sweetness just takes over. Everything else is weak and soft.
Initial review was off. Very good with a solid texture and flavor profile.
Quite hot, it was the single barrel. 112.61 proof
