Tastes

Nose: really enjoy the nose on this one…dark fruits, spiced butterscotch Taste: mild spice, very soft, heat doesn’t linger nor does flavor Overall: it’s ok. It doesn’t wow me, but it’s not horrible either. Not a fan of flavor not following through and this is definitely one of those.

Nose: sweet, caramel, vanilla, molasses Taste: nice spice mid palate, doesn’t linger long though, good sweetness not over powering. Does have some reminiscences of a cab on the back end Overall: a decent bottle but not sure I’d buy more than once

Nose: Chardonnay nose with vanilla and sweetness, mild dried apricots. Very unique nose Taste: Mild spice that dies fast and same for the bourbon. It goes from tasting like bourbon to tasting like wine. Overall: hate the finish. Doesn’t like bourbon

Batch 25 Nose: very light, faint red apples. Not getting much of anything else Taste: vanilla and much better spice than the straight. Rounds out nicely on the side and the spice hours on the front. Spice doesn’t linger long but much more than the straight. Has room for growth, lacks complexity. Overall: love this and would pick it a 100 times over the straight bourbon. Flavor is defiantly not a sweet profile but a more smoky and I would keep that in mind for anyone wanting to try these.

Batch 42 Nose: banana, faint apple, and vanilla. Love the nose on this one Taste: slightly smokey, honey, mild spice about mid palate Overall: it’s good, not my favorite but drinkable. The spice doesn’t linger and it does seem a little young and based on that I would love to try something aged more from them

Nose: vanilla and cinnamon, not in your face on the nose but not as faint as the single barrel Taste: not much going on here. Had high hopes for this one but it didn’t follow through on the taste for me. Overall: I think this is going to be great for people getting into bourbon and don’t want to jump in to the high proof type stuff

Nose: light nose, didn’t get much off the nose some vanilla, mild sweetness Taste: pale tasting, only got the rye, mild spice that faintly lingers. Seems really watered down.

Nose: reminds me of bourbon, sweet, vanilla, caramel Taste: doesn’t taste like bourbon but it’s still delicious. Fruit driven, German rye, mild spice, followed by a nice sweetness

Nose: faint tart apple peel and cinnamon, toffee, soft caramel Taste: good rye spice upfront, doesn’t linger, followed by oaky vanilla Easy to drink, but nothing spectacular
