Finish 🏁: Smoke. Roasted nuts. Toffee. Very long in length.


Overall thoughts?  I truly enjoyed the slightly younger and lower proof version, but this bottled in bond is a significant step up!  It’s delicious stuff!  The mesquite smoked barley is beautiful and far from overwhelming as only a third is smoked.  If you’re interested in good American single malt… I highly recommend this one.
