Tastes

This is a “Hot One”. 110 Proof, so this guy packs a punch. I tried it neat and with a cube, and liked it with the cube better. Opens up the nose and is bursting with Oak Flavor, doesn’t finish with a ton of alcohol flavor. I liked it, not a daily drinker, but great for the nights you need to warm up. Fireside style.

This is a hard one for me. Took me a while to find this bottle, so I had high expectations. Overall, not as smooth as I want it to be and leaves me with an unusual aftertaste. Has nice Smokey notes on the finish, but that smoke stays around for a while. Good, not great.

Really Smooth. Has a bit of a bite on the finish. Using a few cubes smooths it out. I say Oaky flavor for almost every tasting, but yeah, this one has a big oak flavor, not very sweet at all.

Doesn’t pack a punch on the front end or the finish. Really tasty, and smooth, but doesn’t seem to have the numerous different flavors that I’ve had in other 10 year Bourbons. Overall, I really liked it.

Drank Neat, straight out of the bottle, did not let it breath. I haven’t tasted a smoother bourbon. Tons of oak and wood flavors up front. No bite whatsoever. Simply delicious. There is a ton a fruit on the backend as well. Tough for me to describe.

My favorite bourdon I have tasted. Open it, and let it breath. Smooth from start to finish. No bite at the end. Finishes incredibly light, with tons of Oak. Love it.

Drinking this room temp nice. Has a full flavor and finishes with a nice oaky taste. With a large cube, it smooths out. For just an 8 year old, I really like it. (For the record, giving anything above a 4 will be tough.

Smooth from start to finish. I prefer to enjoy with one large Ice Cube, however, neat is equally as enjoyable, however, has a little bite at the start.
