1 of 146 bottles

Tasting Notes:

Palate: Wow it’s just so drinkable. Thick and rich mouthfeel, extremely balanced. A nice bump of white chocolate comes out. The heat doesn’t touch the tongue at all. And the spice, wood, and sweets just roll through the mouth too easily. As Saturday Night Live would say “It’s Sofa King Tasty!”

Finish: The lower proof on this one doesn’t result in a huge finish like the 10-year. But at the same time it’s just a perfect drinker and we wouldn’t even think about adding water. The refinement on this bottle is outstanding, totally head-and-shoulders better than anything we’ve tasted so far.

All in all this bottle rocks our world. After going through the earlier ones, which were very tasty in their own right, the difference here is just so clear and so awesome. The only way we can describe it is that the maturity brings all the elements together. The warmth is still there, as are the richness and sweetness, but instead of one dominating the other they’re all just hitting you as one big amazing taste sensation that is unforgettable. -SmokyBeast
