Community Tasting Note

  December 23, 2017 - The 12 has never been my favorite. Rich with a lot of oak. A bit chunky and unbalanced. Finish again dominated by oak. Not on same level as 13/14

  Judge is on a different stratosphere fyi. Completely diff profile. Not the smokiness. Great texture, siljy with beautiful flavor.
