T8KE's Tasting Notes: Bright nose that reminds me of our 2022/2023 cask. It’s bold, powerful, heavy. Toffee, brown sugar, maple, malt meets big wood and the proof delivers this decadent, viscous mouthfeel. Cinnamon sugar, pleasant woodiness with a nice bit of tannin and faint baking spice on the back palate. This has all of the classic Westward flavor I know and remember and it punches heavy. Long finish, oak  and spice driven with big dessert character and a hint of salted caramel. Fantastic.
