Nowhere near as rich and flavorful as I was anticipating. Other than that, it is excellent in all other ways.
Gave this a very good sniff over and over and over hoping to get a calculus of abv, age, barrels, rickhouse, grains, mash, distillation, etc. The taste matches the smell exactly in the fact that everything is in line. What is lacking is richness and viscosity, but that is due to dilution.
