Tastes

Spicy nose with a ton of caramel. On the tongue, it's an oaky caramel apple. Steady medium finish lingers on the tongue.

When in Rome....or Wisconsin. Figured I'd pick up a bottle while in Wisconsin. Meh. Heavy vanilla nose. Expected a hotter nose given the proof. Palate is grain heavy and vanilla, not surprising given the young age. Oily and sustained finish. Way overpriced given all the other much better options out there.

Tons of vanilla on the nose. Sweet (duh) caramel and leather on the tongue but more peppery than I expected . Solid medium length finish that provides heat without burning.

Soft vanilla nose with a sweet malty oily leather on the tongue. Extremely short oaky finish.

You can really smell the oak (duh). Spicier than the typical WR. The extra extra oaking helps that. Leathery vanilla on the tongue but not as creamy as double oaked. Long finish really hangs onto the tongue.

Nose is sweet but with a smoky punch. Smoke/oak comes full swing on the palate with a bit of spice. Very weak/disappointing finish.

Sweet fruity nose with hints of vanilla. Very well balanced in the palate with nothing dominating but nothing lacking. Smooth finish that doesn't linger.

Lot No 1. Nose and palate are heavy vanilla. Plenty of oily spice on the tongue. Medium to long spicy finish.

Super fruity (apple) nose. Good balance of vanilla, spice and oak on the tongue. Finish is steady without being too oily or hot.

Surprisingly light nose given the 127 proof (2017 edition) full of oak, spice and vanilla. Vanilla is there in the tongue too with a decent amount of spice. Super long spicy finish but in a really good way. It hangs on tongue for quite a while.
