UPDATED: JAN 1, 2024 Bottle at Chris’s 2024 new year tasting. Lots of brown sugar sweetness. Thick body. Coconut and vanilla barrel notes. Excellent.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2023 I'm actually rating Batch #5 of this, but it's very similar except the label says after Woodford it was transferred to Willett Bourbon Barrels for an additional 11 months. Overall a spectacular brew with nice balance of dark malts, bourbon, and smooth booze.

UPDATED: SEP 11, 2019 Bottle @ OBD share. Pours dark brown with a brown head. Notes of oak, big bourbon as if someone dashed a bit in there, caramel, fudge. A bit over-boozed bud damn good!

UPDATED: APR 30, 2019 (375ml 2017 bottle shared @ Nische's tasting, thanks Otso!) Pours clear deep mahogany with a small tan head. Notes dominated by a massive but smooth bourbon component on top of the heavy toffee and light molasses malt base, some dark fruit, toasted coconut, creamy vanilla, light char, some dark fruit but all about these heavy coconutty oak barrels, which linger long into the moderately sweet, very softly bitter and toasty finish. Quite full and viscous body with almost no carbonation and a hint of alcohol warmth. Intensely bourbon-forward and yet not hot or overpowering like some brews with much less barrel character. Just a beautiful, characterful barrel expression.

Bottle. Pours brown/black with a tan head. Aroma of loads of barrel -bourbon and wood - orange crush, spicey bourbon, chewy caramel, slight choko, quite some old wood, some dark fruits, chocolate, a bit sugary. Complex and very balanced - delicious barrel

Bottle at Orlas BIL tasting. Dark brown body with a small offwhite head. Bourbon, oranges, dark fruits, oak, tobacco notes, smokey notes. Smooth. Complex. Lovely.

A deal with the Orla in Dalum. Dark brown with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of caramel, chocolate and vanilla with loads of bourbon. Sweet malty and fruity flavour with chocolate, vanilla and dried fruit, along with bourbon and a hint of orange peel.

Bottle @ A deal with Mr. Orla in Sanderslum. Pours Amber copper with a bubbly head. Vinous and deep. Mega Slick. Full bodied. Wood, caramel, Toffee and dried fruit. Complex sipper.

Bottle generously shared by Bryan. Pours a ruddy amber hue with a small white bubble of head. A wonderful nose, amazing deep bourbon. The flavor is amazing: huge sweet malts, tobacco, massive hot bourbon,woody. So many layers to this, just impossible depth and very drinkable despite the ABV. Great! Really one of my favorites in the past few years.
