Tastes

Whiskey Consensus Single Barrel Select Nose- overwhelmingly honey, but slightly funky and off putting, like fresh honeycomb Taste- balanced but in a way that feels like everything washes itself out. Like the honey/syrup sweetness is there but cut by the brashness of the whiskey, and the whiskey doesn’t shine through either Finish - light and mostly honey with some floral and baking spice Not sure if it’s overly finished or if the whiskey used was mediocre (i.e., young or subpar), but this is very meh. The sweetness at times overwhelms and the whiskey doesn’t shine through. Pass for me

Store Pick Single Barrel, 100 proof Nose- muted. Ethanol is prominent with some faint sweet oak and a candied note that reminds me of circus peanuts. Bit of a letdown Taste- a pleasant nuttiness that i typically get from HH products, a faint bit of chocolate and light caramel Overall: an easy sipper that hits some solid sweet/nutty notes. Would be a great daily pour if the price weren’t so high

Nose- plum and other dark fruits though in a funky fermented way. garden herbs and a bit of tobacco Taste- raisins galore, some peach, a rye bready note, clove, honey Finish- medium and earthy with faint spice, nice oily mouthfeel If you’re big on raisins and plum notes in your rye, this is for you

Nose- sweet and desserty. Maple, caramel, honey buns. Reminds me of AE rye Taste- not as sweet as the nose lets on which is a good thing! More caramel-y pastries, honey and pear/apple. Similar toasted flavor that I get from something like WR DO but not as sweet and a smidge astringent Finish- lighter and on the sweet side, candied orange and dry oak

N- tangerines, almond extract and a hint of chocolate. pleasant T- punchy but well balanced. Wintergreen freshness, vanilla shortbread and a bit more citrus. Loads of rye spice and cinnamon candies on the backend F-spicy with a vanilla oak astringency In your face in a polite and balanced way. Proof gives a range of flavors to sift through. Really enjoyable!

Nose- spiced apples, hay, and a hit of sweet vanilla oaky goodness Taste- loads of baking spices, dark fruits and crème brûlée Finish- medium, more of that spiced apples and dark red fruits, the spice really rips through Simple but refined and tasty

Nose- just a fantastic nose. Berry reduction, leather, vanilla bean and rye spice. Faintest bit of ethanol Taste- a bit more dialed back than the nose would let on, maybe due to the proof. But still a great mix of Cherry, candied pecan, lots of oak and baking spices. High rye definetely comes though Finish- brown sugar sweetness followed by black pepper and black tea Awesome balance of red berry sweetness and oak influence- this is a fantastic pour.
