As far as I could tell this is something like the Kosta Browne Four Barrel: limited case production from the best barrels pulled from specific areas. Unfortunatley, I don't remember which areas the barrels were from, so the designation I created maybe wrong. Strong notes of charcoal, licorice, caramel with dark fruit and spice ending with a tightly drawn finish. Not my style but exotic and Good.
