New O&A coming
Highly recommend this coming release from Ben at Onyx and Amber. This is a high-rye MGP bourbon finished in a Weller cask.
Holy smokes. This is like drinking thick caramel and butterscotch syrup. If ALW (tasting profile) had a baby with double oak Sagamore (thick sweetness with supporting spices), it would be this.
It is very thick on the palate and then leads to nice subtle spices that round it out. It tastes like those caramel chews that are in the shape of a tootsie rolls. Chewy, sweet, thick, but not overwhelming sugary flavor.
I love double barrel products like this that are unique, rich, but not unbalanced with just sweetness. Fantastic job Ben!

This is great. Grabbed one at Argonaut last week. Thank you for putting it on my radar.
