Tasting Notes: The nose is plush, rich, and buttery right away. Smoked maple, blackberry jam, orange peel, clove, and a dried leather note that grows more prominent the longer it rests.

Huge toasted vanilla come to the front of the palate here, but not without the toasted marshmallow exterior. The palate is viscous and coating, with a savory maple and brown sugar growing more prominent as you sip. This extra depth to the toast level rolls off some of the more jagged spice from batch 2, and grows closer to what one may expect when reaching for a toasted bourbon.

The finish is long, spiced, and trailing - a bit more akin to Batch 1 with its toffee, charred marshmallow, oak and leather tannins.
