Cherry, overripe bananas, and a chemical mixture overwhelm the nose on this bourbon. Spiced vanilla and honey are present on initial taste. Replaced by lingering cinnamon, rye spices and a long smooth finish. More tastes remind me of freshly brewed tea. Much less harsh than most bourbons aged in charred Oak. Not overly smoked. Overall, not bad at all.

Extremely subtle yet complex on the nose. Struggled to pin any one thing down. Hints of vanilla, smoke, and maybe pear. No relief was found in tasting this one. Perhaps the smoothest whiskey I've ever drank. That being said, I have to say it's kind of a disappointment. Nothing specific to write about, nothing to bring me back for more.

Pretty smoth on the front. Fairly certain it was gone and then finished with a punch at the back of the throat. Spicy on the lips. Nose of banana, dried fruits, and caramel. Not reminiscent of most other scotch whiskeys but that's not a bad thing. Interesting for taste but not necessarily one to put in the regular rotation.

Salted toffee, baking spices, and a strong floral perfume dominate the nose on this one. There's also a strong ethanol scent to this one. Taste is a bit aggressive for what I'd prefer when having a rye straight. Black tea and salted toffee. Rye spice & a bit oily as well. Finishes harsh and warms my chest. A splash of water kills that but really dampens the flavor too. Would probably do great for a nice cocktail.

A gorgeous mahogany. Allspice, toffee, & sweet red wine come through on the nose of this one. There are also hints of menthol that I could do without. The port barrel aging punches through immediately. Rye spice, honey, & maple follow quickly though. Not really any better than the first time I tried it and seems to be more of a novelty rye than anything else. This has got a little punch behind it to finish however. Somehow it travels up my throat instead of burning on the way down. Still think I'd use it for mixes only. Disappointing overall.
