Tastes

Bought for a discounted price at Meijer on Grape (usually $39). Very lightly colored and transparent. Herbal and popcorn on the nose. Herbal, corn, probably wheated and higher barley content. Smooth and a nice, sweet finish. Subtle, sweet, soft, creamy, winey. Butterscotch, honey, raisin, caramel, fruit. Notes of buttered and peppered corn.

Bought a bottle at Meijer on Grape rd. Certainly rye spice and backburn, but sweeter with nice caramel notes with a buttery feel. If I had to guess, mostly rye with corn and a hint of barley. Hazelnut is the flavor I couldn’t put my finger on! Decent for a rye, but I think I prefer Michters

Nice for a flavored whiskey! Prefer this to Journeyman’s cherry whiskey. Lot’s of cherry syrupy flavor

Flaviar Reserve Blend - probably 56% corn, 38% green rye, 6% barley. Stewed fruit, port, and rye come through. A little bready. I prefer Square 6 to this.

Barrel #87 - Aged 53 months - Woodmans Supermarket. Gifted to me by Justin Kurk at his rehearsal dinner. 93.82 proof, 46.91% alcohol. Nose is nice - lots of corn and body - even a little cornbread. Taste is a little bland - corn but not much character. A little hard to drink, maybe a hint of rye/pepper

Batch 141, Bottle 1116. Once I gained more of an appreciation for whiskey, this one comes through quite nicely. Equal parts rye, wheat, corn, and barley. Grain, cinnamon, slightly bitter. 1% for golf!

McKinley’s mom gave me a bottle for Christmas 2021! Fantastic nose - no ethanol heat, but heavy corn, cherry, and butterscotch. Tastes incredibly of butterscotch - very easy to drink. 60-65% corn 30-35% rye 5% barley

I like this better than the Featherbone Bourbon, but still not oustanding. Buttery, almond, dried fruits.

Very earthy, soft nutty notes and sweet caramel. Not a fan of this combination of flavors.
