My buddy Art scored a set of BT Experimentals yesterday from a well connected liquor store. (Don't even ask, the store only got 4 sets and they are long gone.)
Art was kind enough to pop the "French Oak" bottle and give me a pour. It was quite unique and enjoyable. I look forward to another glass after the bottle has breathed a bit to see how it opens up and decide if I would want to drink something like this all the time.
Now, in the tradition of the great Chuck Cowdery, I will give you my initial review of something you will probably never get to taste...
************************************
Very unique nose. It took me a few minutes to pin it down but it definitely smells of Chartreuse or Benedictine liquor. Aromas of cinnamon, grape candy and spices.
Medium body, light on the palate. Slight oiliness. A hint of Benedictine liquor. Spicy. Caramel only came out after warming the glass in my hand.
Dry finish with hint of sweetness and spice. Short at first, but growing longer and longer as I got through the glass. Clean finish with cinnamon and spices.

Hopefully I'll follow up on these notes in a few weeks if Art is kind enough to part with another pour
