Who's been drinking this

2011 release
Maybe it sat for too long, but this was nearly totally flat, and that flatness made the bourbon sweetness come out a bit overdone. A shame, because the flavors were clearly good -- toffee and bourbon and wood.

2013 release
Butterscotch flavor with pleasant bourbon hues and warm finish.
Bottle
2013 release
Sweet cereal bourbon flavor with some aged complexity of the winter warmer variety. A buttery acidic bite.
Bottle
2012 release
Slightly sharper initial taste, surprisingly hoppy with more residual tack. Less bourbon expression and sweeter cereal body.
Bottle
2011 release
Light bourbon-sheen smell. Sweet and tack-free nut-caramel taste. Alcohol bite at end with a bit of a bitterness. Finishes with a bit of walnut.
