Tastes

I hate to say this but I don’t love it like one hers do. It’s got some good heat but the flavor profile for me doesn’t come together ideally. It’s hot for sure. But it doesn’t play nice with an ice ball or some bittermilk. Which makes it hard to drink unless it’s your first and only dram of the night. Don’t get men wrong. I chrrrish my bottle but I’m not calling it a top 10.

Love it more before I compared it to b520. Its great but not as refined. Invents. Little get a little more unsmoked tobacco but a nice lip tingle.

A truly hidden gem. It’s everything people say about it and more. It’s difficult to use common words to describe a bourbon but these words truly to fit this delicious Dram. The taste just keeps going. I’m a big fan. For the price very little beats this whiskey.

I can’t get past the astringent oak as the dominant flavor. Nice but not tops.

I agree entirely with the Distilller write up. Perfectly described. Super smooth. A big winner for me.

Best served cold. Possible with o e big ice or 1 small one and drank quickly. The nose is certainly unique lots of mixed candies best way to describe. Drinks really well. Low heat. Nice mouth feel. I might call it a bourbon candy liquid. I m a big fan. Delicious. I’m curious to see how I feel when it’s the first dram if the night not the last (like tonight). :)

I’m tasting this again this time next to the 13yr. The nose now seems ordinary. I can’t say enough about the nose in the 13. Taste is still lovely but I the heat lasts a little longer in the finish. I still am a big fan but I’m ur complexity of the 13 year mutes my feelings in this one.

I’m tasting this next to the 9yr which I love. The nose on this one is totally different. Soft smooth vanilla and cake. Great viscosity. Classic wheated perfection. Not much heat at all. Vanilla soft oak and a little char. One of my new favs.

I like this one a lot but my good buddy tried it and said it tastes like armor all. Now I can’t stop thinking tasting it. I still thinks it’s great but can’t name a different taste.
