Tastes

Solid, cheap daily drinker Color: warm amber color. Pretty fast moving legs. Nose: it definitely smells sweet. I get vanilla with a little spice. Taste: vanilla with some light spice. Also some oak. Very easy drinking! The spice doesn’t overwhelm me at all. A super light burn also. Finish?: short finish with everything disappearing quickly. Water?: no need, super light.

Color: pretty dark amber. Nice slow moving legs. Nose: I smell spice. I also get a hint of some fruit. I think cherry. Taste: tastes creamy and super smooth. I get vanilla immediately on the tongue. A little maple syrupy thing. I get spice on the end and into the finish. Finish?: medium spicy finish Water?: no water needed

3 out of 5 because it is a solid price for a cask strength. Color: Warm amber color. Legs take quite awhile to form, but when they eventually do they are large and very slow. Nose: very unique smell. This one will burn your nose. It must be the malt I’m smelling. It isn’t familiar. Taste: I get a caramel and warmth on the front. Some hug. It turns into that leather taste that isn’t my favorite bourbon note. Some spice towards the end. Finish?: pretty long finish with some spice that lingers. Water?: an ice ball helped tone down the leather. Maybe it is just the chill of it. Still primarily leather and a spice finish to me. Got better once it got watered down.

Color: very dark amber with some solid legs Nose: I get leather. I also get some oak. Also smells decently sweet. Taste: Very good. I get the caramel immediately on the front but it is a heavier caramel is the best way I can describe it. I taste fruit. Almost some light cinnamon on the back of my tongue. Definitely a little heat but it is great. Finish?: pretty dang short finish but it is delicious. Water?: I did not feel the need. It is so good and smooth without cutting it.

Color: looks like honey Nose: barrel with some spice Taste: vanilla and caramel with some spice. Very smooth. Finish: medium caramel finish Water?: no way.

Color: medium amber color Nose: wood mixed with spice. Equal portions of each. Taste: mostly taste rye spice but it isn’t overbearing. Finish: medium finish Water?: I don’t think water would change much.
