Shortbarrel Double Oaked Series, Toasted Oak Cask, SB-4, 58.8%

Toasted oak, vanilla and caramel give it a clear, familiar direction, while baking spice and dry tannin keep the sweetness in check. That mix is appealing to me, and the long, warming finish sounds like it holds onto the oak and cocoa.
