Tastes

Spicy, earthy, sweet.

Sweet red fruit with undercurrents of caramel, oak, and a hint of spice.

Very rich and flavorful with an oily mouthfeel to complement.

Rich and sweet with strong red fruit notes. A very complex dram that stands out amongst the most fierce of competition. Other notes: bubble gum

Starts off with intense earthy tones and a thick mouthfeel to complement. Sweetness fades in with a small amount of heat. Leather comes in strong in what feels like a second wave of flavor, finally the finish arrives with a rich vanilla flavor that doesn't disappoint.

Sweet nose, reminds me of caramel and oatmeal cookies. Great on the rocks, very sweet caramel flavor. Thick mouthfeel. Overall a great bourbon for those who like sweet and rich with a proper proof.

I feel unqualified to review this bourbon since my palate is still developing, but here we go... Nose is subtle and warm, very inviting and oak dominant. Caramel sweetness lingers. Palate starts with intense caramel which fades to dry tobacco and bitter spice. Marshmallow and oak follow up with an electric mouth feel which is a bit odd. Rye and bubble gum sweetness are on the finish. This is a wild ride of a bourbon, and worth over paying a tiny bit to taste once a year.

Smooth and sweet vanilla, definitely a dessert dram. Has a nice mouth feel that really complements the vanilla cupcake flavors. My favorite sweet/vanilla bourbon.

Served on rocks. Starts with a a very strong standard bourbon flavor, then sharply turns into a mellow yet intense bubble gum and wheat. Finish lingers for an eternity with more smooth bubble gum and warm maple syrup with a hint of nuttiness and a smidge of spice. Overall, this is an intense and excellent bourbon, one I'll always have stock of.

Neat: Much sweeter than I expected, vanilla, leather, tobacco, old timey candy. Lovely and smooth.
