Bib & Tucker (Small Batch – 6 Year)

EYE
Light amber caramel
NOSE
The nose has a very earthy scent to it with notes of leather, barley, chestnut and grass. It smells on the young side with little evidence that it was aged for six years in a barrel. We noticed a strong vanilla overtone and appreciated the softness of the scent with very little astringency.
TASTE
An earthy toasted oak, carmel, vanilla and toffee.Quite sweet witha butteryness that coats the tongue. To this writer, there is a clear licorice taste that I feel makes the strongest statement.
FEEL
Soft burn, goes down the throat easy with a mild hug.
FINISH
Long finish. The tongue coat lasts long after the whiskey is gone but the burn disappears quickly. Leaves the licorice taste hanging on.
