Aroma - strawberry candy, flat cherry cola… notes of a children’s fruity tooth paste… honestly this is really bizarre and quite off putting aroma to be honest. I’m getting almost no stout notes and all fruit. Hopefully the palate is better than the aroma. Taste - The stout profile is noticeable on the finish. Lots of chocolate on the finish which I enjoy… but its the front and mid palate that ruin this one.. Once again, lots of fruity rye notes. Man I am not a fan of this whatsoever. If NyQuil was made with rye and chocolate…then water added to thin it out… this is what you would get.
About this bottle
This is the fourth expression in the brand's Cask Finish series which first launched in 2019. This limited edition American straight rye whiskey (95% rye, 5% malted barley) originally was matured a minimum of six years in charred, new American oak barrels. Then the whiskey was transferred into bourbon-barrel aged chocolate coffee stout casks for an additional three months of maturation. It's bottled at 92 proof. Available as of November 2022. (SRP $54.99)

Ja chyba nie lubie bourbonow finiszowanych w czyms po stoucie. Znaczy tu to czuc dosc delikatnie acz ewidentnie. Poza onem fajny
Dark and rich. Stout barrel is a great idea. Absolutely delicious.
Interesting taste. Not bad. Id buy on sale
Very smooth taste with malt forward notes.
Cofee finish. Nice burn. Full oak
