Bottled on 12/18/19 from Barrel #177, which was barreled on 3/9/12. For the $29.99 cost, I was pleased with this and will maintain it in my stock.

Barrel 2.9.12, bottle 3.5.20. First official tasting. Initially spicy, it then mellows and becomes sweet, with a honey finish.
Smooth, not a lot of heat but it disappears quickly
Warming, fiery, like medicine
