Final Thoughts:

I have been keeping an eye out for this one for a long time since it disappeared from store shelves in my area, and had very high hopes based on reviews I had seen. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the cookie dough notes that came through on the palate, but at this price point, I would expect something with a bit more body and more pronounced flavor profile. As with all single barrel products, you never know what you are going to get, so I am definitely looking forward to giving this one another try!
