I tasted the 1-year aged edition a week ago. Now a version that has been aged in oak Bourbon barrels for 2 years. Vintage 2026, a higher ABV than that of the regular 2yo version. Regardless of the absence of a side-by-side assessment, this will be interesting. The beer looks lucid, dark chestnut brown. Could it be marginally darker than the 1yo? Looks like it was but can't really tell. The carbonation is mild. The beige head is restrained and short-lived. Date, dried plum and brown sugar find my nose first. Vanilla is ample, reflecting the seduction of Bourbon. Oak barrel notes can't be missed either. Remote cacao nibs probably in the shadows, as well. Sounds more or less identical to the 1yo version. The gustatory slam is powerful. Not supersoft but not aggressive either. Intensive Bourbon tickles my tastebuds. Very nice! Appealing barreling! Date, vanilla, dried plum, a suggestion of cacao nibs, barrel nuances... Alcohol, again, doesn't shy away. The cocktail is very close to what the 1yo edition had already served. The body is full. The end comes with s long tail, a neat set of elements carried over from the start. The alcoholic punch intensifies a bit at this stage. The mouthfeel is full, barrel aged, intense, deep, a tad alcoholic and warming. Much rounder anyway than the younger brother, no such rawness to be observed. Characterful. Now we start talking! This is much more like what a BBA barleywiney should be able to offer.
