The combination of the heavy toast and deep char contributes to rich notes and flavors of caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, cherry, toasted oak, and baking spices.    There is a nice touch of creme brulee along with a nice bold well rounded finish.

More about the actual barrel we picked
ISC (Independent Stave Company) Cooper’s Select HT#4 Char Barrel
HT#4 Char (Heavy Toast #4): This barrel undergoes both a heavy toast and a #4 char (often called "Alligator Char"), which is one of the deepest char levels used in barrel-making. This process caramelizes the wood sugars more extensively, leading to deeper flavors in the aging spirit. The deep char allows the spirit to interact more with the wood, accelerating extraction of desirable compounds like vanillin and lignin-derived flavors. This can lead to a bolder, richer, and more rounded whiskey profile.
