Very unique stuff as expected given the strange blend. The bourbon helps this a lot by giving it just enough sweetness and viscosity to counteract what seems like a thinner, perhaps over-oaked barrel of Alberta rye. The cherry brandy barrels are surprisingly subtle but after letting this rest, begin to reveal themselves and add a wonderful cherry cola effect. Consider me a fan!
