Tastes

Floral, minty and an easy sipper

Nose- mostly floral. Some spearmint and citrus Taste- minty sweetness, honey, ctirus. Nicr mouthfeel Finish- sweet and subtle. Typical rye spice finally appears

Nose- nice oak presece, caramel apple, citrus and spice. Pleasant Taste- dark red fruits, vanilla and more oak. Pleasant under the mineral/vitamin note shows up Finish- light, dry. Caramel, spice and Flintstones vitamins

HyVee Store Pick 116.88 proof, 6yrs 9mos Nose- faint ethanol, sweet corn, cinnamon, and a strange savory/meaty hebal note Taste- baking spice, subtle rye bread and creme brulee. Overall tame and underwhelming Finish- medium, a bit more spice and vanilla

Nose- a bit of funkiness, vanilla, good amount of oak influence, dark stone fruits, some nutmeg. Mint in the background Taste- candied pecans, cherry cola, lots of nuttiness, faint grassy/spice (rye-like), a bit of a dry mouthfeel Finish- mostly spice and cherry vanilla, long and enjoyable A great pour! I wish the flavors were a bit bolder and that this had a better mouthfeel but this hits all the notes I look for in bourbon.

Thin and watery. Faint hints of vanilla, spice and citrus.

Total Wine store pick. 130.6 proof Nose- youthful craft whiskey notes, black licorice, fig, chocolatey rye Taste- raisin rye bread. So much raisin. Prunes, black tea and faint spice. Dry mouthfeel Finish- a weird anise note, followed with dark fruits and peppercorn Not my jam at all but if you love raisins, this might work for you. Taste like a craft distillery but not much bite and very drinkable for 130 proof.

Store pick. 117.74 proof. Serpens Nose- quite floral, perfume, vanilla extract, citrus Taste- creamy orange vanilla, apricot, Sprite citrus, rye spice, Graham cracker crust Finish- thinner mouthfeel. Loads of spice, vanilla and aniseed Easy sipper with loads of citrus notes. Perfect summer rye.

So light on flavor. Faint mint and spice. Boring

toasted caramel bomb, light but decently complex for the proof. Very much on the sweet side
