Tastes

Nose: honey, apples, sugar cookies Taste: honey nut cheerios, citrus, lemongrass, buttery, hint of malt mustiness Palate is light and refreshing, oaky finish

Nose: butterscotch, vanilla, leather, hint of dried fruit Taste: sweet caramel, a little cherry, light bitterness like a nuttiness, mild taste and flavor Bitterness lingers on the palate for a very short while

Nose: reminds me of Willet 4 year rye but more pronounced. Earthy, citrus, orange peels, lemongrass and nuttiness on the nose. Taste is bold and full. Citrus, lots of orange, oakiness, rye spice, black pepper finish. Rye spice lingers with black pepper on a very oily and long lasting palate.

Nose is light...caramel, oak, citrus, dried fruit. Taste is very similar to the nose. Caramel, oak, orange zest. Very sweet. Citrus and sweetness linger on the palate for a medium length.

Nose: brown sugar, rye spice, black ink, nuttiness Taste: a little watered down at the front end. Slightly sweet brown sugar, rye spice, sawdust, citrus, most of the flavor in the back end. Easy to drink. Bitterness and spice lingers for a medium length of time.

Nose: oak, burnt brown sugar, rye spice, citrus Taste: mild brown sugar sweetness, dry prunes, citrus that makes your mouth water, oaky flavor that leaves a slight bitterness behind, oily, long legs on this one. The citrusy flavor makes your mouth water and your tongue tingle. The burnt bitter oak flavor lingers with the citrusy note for a very long finish.

Nose: sugar cookie, caramel, very nutty smell, slightly herbal and a slight spice. Taste: slightly watery, slight burnt caramel, woody, peppery, very faint butteriness, a bitter walnut on the back end. Woody and bitter flavor lingers for a short while on the palate before dispersing. It is a cheap blended scotch and for $30, I'd buy it all day.

10 year old Nose: honey nut cheerios, cherries, almonds, dates Taste: caramel, dried fruit like raisin, very nutty, lots of walnut and almond, light oak and vanilla flavor. Palate: medium palate, bitter almond and raisin flavor remain on the palate.

Nose: briny ocean air, pear, smoky burning wood, very much like opening the door at an ice cream parlor at the beach. Taste: on the front end there is a very light sweetness like a dusting of a sugar cookie, in the middle there is a big smoky meaty flavor and the back end is citrus and bitter almond. Palate is very oily and super dry. The briny smoky flavor lingers a bit and the bitterness and citrus last a long while.

Nose: caramel, cherries, vanilla Taste: caramel, cherries, dates, little bit of oak Palate: a little bit oily but not super long lasting, kind of a bitter nuttiness lingers on the back end. Pretty straightforward, nothing surprising. Good standard bourbon with standard bourbon flavors.
