Tastes

Rye and cinnamon are the stars of the bottle. Sweet and fruity scents mixed with Rye, banana, buttery toast, light smoke and powdered cinnamon. The taste hits you with spicy cinnamon but not in the way Fireball attemps. The heat is strong but what you expect in a Rye. The medium finish is good but if it was longer the rating would be higher. Steal at its price point and good sipper to enjoy with friends and family that appreciate whiskey especially a good Rye.

Bottle full of smoke. The scent of smoke, sweetness and the greatest cereal ever made "Waffle Crisp," slight hint of orange peel and rich maple. The taste is strong with peat, spicy peppercorn, menthol and heavy oak. At 4 years, quite tasty with long finish and lengthy heat. Would be interested in other bottles to see differences.

Typical bourbon scents of caramel, fruitness, spicy pepper and vanilla. First sip brings heavy heat that feels like you're drinking a good Rye. The heat tempers down slowly with taste of unripe orange, clove, nutmeg, anise and black tea. Long finish and good sipper.

Unique profile that draws me in more with each sip. Rum scents of peach, jackfruit, dates, banana and baking spices, light mint followed with sweet caramel. With the taste you the familiar Rye goodness with a mouthful of leather, spiced apple, jam, smoky peat but medium heat that slowly fade. Really enjoyed this but best for whiskey fans intrigued by uniqueness

Sour nose mixed with peppery spice, tropical fruit, peat, cashew, and rich toffee. Peaty taste with mild sweetness, nuttiness and soft lingering heat. Medium finish

Interesting and hard to describe. The smells are faint but you get little whiffs of peat, smoke. The first sip is a juicy mouthful of butter, briny ocean, charcoal, peppercorn. The finish is lengthy but the flavors develop in your mouth. The taste bounces around from medicinal with menthol tingles, then the sweetness kicks in with subtle ripe orange, raisins and tanginess. Love the length but the bitterness can be overpowering. Maybe the mature bottles have the best fit.

Nice bourbon with smells of burnt wood, citrus, allspice, light mint, floral with touches of caramel. The taste is a punchy spicy heat that's followed by heavy oak, licorice, cinnamon but the finish is medium. If the finish was as strong as the initial taste I would rate it higher. Great for the price.

At this price point you can't pass it up. Vanilla and caramel scents mixed with pepper and butterscotch. The smell comes off sweet but the taste quickly takes over with spicy pepper, clove and allspice. The heat gives a lengthy slightly smoky finish. It taste deceptively spicy. The heat comes in hot and slowly unfolds to a mentholated finish. Good buy

This bottle was very meh for me. When you smell fragrant apple and spices, you think this is going to be incredible. After tasting, the apple comes through but not as intense as the smells gives off. The baking spices take the lead with heavy cardamom, clove, butter and oak. The finish aside from being oily doesn't last. Solid bottle but nothing to scream praise of. I'll try again just to confirm because I wanted more of the apple.

I've seen this bottle and always meant to try but just always forgot. After the long wait, I'm mad I didn't try it before. Rich smells of vanilla and caramel baking spices. Super smooth oily taste, bit sweet but not overly sweet. Mouthful of caramel, licorice, vanilla. The heat on the finish is long urging you to keep a bottle in stock.
