In the glass, Batch 5 reveals a deep, burnished amber hue, hinting at the rich flavors to come. The nose is an inviting mix of sweet and savory, with prominent notes of dark caramel, vanilla bean, and rich molasses. These sweet elements are balanced by the spiciness of cinnamon and nutmeg, with a subtle undercurrent of toasted oak and dark cherries that add depth to the aroma.
Upon tasting, Batch 5 delivers a full-bodied and intense flavor profile. The initial sip is rich with dark chocolate, brown sugar, and roasted coffee, offering a complex sweetness that is quickly followed by a wave of spice. The cinnamon and clove from the nose are joined by hints of black pepper and allspice, creating a layered and dynamic palate. Midway through, notes of dried fruits like raisins and figs emerge, adding a touch of fruitiness that complements the oak-driven backbone.
The finish is long, warm, and satisfying, characteristic of a high-proof bourbon. The lingering flavors of charred oak, dark cocoa, and a touch of smoky caramel leave a lasting impression, inviting you to take another sip and explore the intricate balance of sweetness, spice, and wood.
