Standard caramel and oak. However, the double oaking is well done. Does not come across as overly sweet. Dry, barrel spice finish. Medium body with a little heat. Not complex but a solid pour.

9yr MGP 67.29% Cherry, maple char, earthy oak and dark caramel nose. Caramel continues. Rye spice and charred nougat. Heavy body. Warming hug. Excellent barrel.

65.25% 7yr "Nutmegger." Liquid smoke, candied cherries, and rye spice nose. Peppered cherry syrup, corn syrup, confectioner maple. Long finish of peppered, dry oak.

Honeydew, vanilla, mild cinnamon nose. Light but oily. Touch of barrel spice. Caramel, wheat crackers, and a hint of oak. Well balanced. Medium light finish.

Candied barrel spice and high rye nose. Sweetened char, cinnamon and bready. Light body. Medium light finish. A nice entry-level bourbon.

Maple syrup, char, nougat, and touch of candied rye nose. Lighter body but mouth coating. Cherry, milk chocolate almonds, light caramel, rye grains, and integrated oak. No Kentucky hug, but the finish lingers. Quality bourbon. Not worth the price tag, however.

2024. Earthy apples, lactic, and mild peat nose. Sweetened black pepper, toasted buttercream, grilled root vegetables, caramel creams, brown pear skins. Full feel. Medium, funky peat finish. I am usually not a fan of lactic notes in my whisky. This, however, does it very well. Complex, yet approachable, pour that calls you back for more.

Yankee Spirits. 62.7% Barrel #019. Spicy, sweet oak nose. Spiced almonds and balsamic vinegar on rye toast. Cinnamon on the back end with a residual finish if sugared cereal. More complex than some Staggs, but nothing amazing. A little water tempers the heat and adds a slight herbal note.

Sweet oak and almond extract nose. Green oak, wheat juice, light honey. Medium semisweet finish that continues into a dryness. Another Solid shelfer from Blue Note.
