Ezra Brooks Cask Strength Single Barrel Binnys Pick

Appears pale gold, with thin legs in a glencairn glass. Nose: Apple, apricot, ethanol, rye spice. The higher alcohol content is apparent in the aroma. Taste: Similar to the nose, featuring apple, rye spice, and alcohol. Baking spices remain on the long, warm finish. Subtle banana and vanilla notes emerge when re-evaluating the nose after a second sip. Overall: 3.75/5 - A solid cask strength offering. It's not overly intricate, but it's an enjoyable pour for those who like higher proof spirits. I would prefer a bit more oak and toasted characteristics.

The aroma is sweet caramel, followed by a robust palate of caramel and spice. The finish is long and strong, with a touch of oak at the end.
