Mystery sample from @kmccormick100 . I warned him I really bad at this and I’m still a little congested so I can’t smell or taste that great but here goes
Nose: hot. Lots of ethanol. Maybe I’ll let it breathe for 10 mins. (10 mins later)
Okay it just needed to air out some. Still ethanol-y but I get some stone fruits cherries? Peach? And some apples . I don’t get a lot of oak but that could be my congestion.
Palate: nice mouthfeel. Slightly viscous and not annoyingly thin. Coats mouth well and Drinks like a 120 proof. Taste like oak, and something I can’t put my finger on
Finish: Medium finish. Very mild spice and pepper. Not much taste on the finish
Guess(es): when I opened the sample I smelled ecbp but after nosing and tasting it doesn’t taste like any EC I’ve tried. It doesn’t taste like anything I’ve really tried and I haven’t tried that much so that’s a wide range.
If I’m going to take a shot in the dark I’m going to say OF SiB. I’ve never tried it but based on what others said that’s what i imagine OF tasting like
Overall I think it’s pretty good. 7.5 out of 10. I would pay $110 for it.

Definitely get the stone fruitiness, there’s something almost creamy and floral too that I can’t quite pinpoint. It’s a little off-profile from most 4R picks I’ve had, but a tasty departure.
