Tastes

Classic bourbon notes: vanilla, caramel and oak. My main impression was sweet and spicy with oak coming on late although a little thin. Nice and a great bottom shelf dweller.

An amazing nose sweet sugary baked goods almost like honey glazed donuts combined with some vanilla and a little fruitiness-maybe apples or pears. More of the same on the palate. The finish is long and unique for me as the alcohol makes a strong appearance late in the finish. An excellent whiskey, very well balanced.

Sweetness and some char on the nose. Sweet vanilla, a little fruit and some spice shows up late. A fairly lengthy finish. Not that impressed at first, got a lot better as time went by. Very nice, a good value too.

Molasses, fruit (maybe apples) and light smoke on both the nose and palate. Fairly simple but smooth and very moreish. Nice.

Typical bourbon nose: sweet caramel with vanilla and oak. More of the same on the palate to begin with then spice takes over big time. Nice mocha coffee notes on the finish. Very good.

Sweet with a little fruit on the nose. More of the same on the palate with a fair amount of oak followed by a lot of spice. Spice on the long finish with creamy vanilla coming in at the end. A top class bourbon at a non outrageous price.

Peat smoke, sweetness and a hint of fruit on the nose. The sweetness come first on the palate followed by the smoke which sticks around for the lengthy finish. An amazing value, buy it if you see it.

Big and bold. Not too much alcohol on the nose despite the proof. Molasses, vanilla, oak and a little spice on the nose. More of the same on the palate with a lot more spice, a hint of sugary fruit (orange?) with burnt sugar on the end. A very nice oily mouthfeel is noticeable. The finish is long not surprisingly given the high ABV. Intense yet smooth. Great.

Flowers and red wine on the nose. More of the same on the palate with sweetness, nice spice, and vanilla showing up late. A very nice creamy mouthfeel. A long finish with spice, sweet syrupy fruit and vanilla. JW has done it again, opened my bottle, had some and then picked up another bottle right away. Enough said.

Fruity, grassy, floral with some creamy vanilla type notes. Well balanced with no notes overpowering the others, a nice finish to boot. Very nice, a classic for a reason.
