Tastes

On the Nose: Really beautiful nose here. I’m actually impressed given the price point. Lots of citrus on top of apple spice and minty fresh leaves. Palate: Pretty soft on the palate maybe some applewood, this was hard to figure out. Finish: This is a really smooth whiskey it goes down very easy and leaves almost a mint note with a soft butter pecan note. Overall pretty good, with there was more on the finish. But the nose is really solid and a fan of this for the price point.

Tried this on the rock, not something I normally do but I be had Smoke Wagon before and wanted to try it this way. Nose: This is pretty nice as I got the spice I expected from Smoke Wagon. Palate: This is the best element here for me personally. This has a really deep butter vanilla taste that’s really pretty nice. Finish: here’s where I think it could have been better. This for me is a light taste almost very faint fruit notes but it doesn’t stay around long enough to taste.

Nose: Deep plum and apple notes. Also a rich hint of butterscotch. Palate: This is a great palate of a caramel apple like you’d get at a fair ground with a citrus twist. Finish: Buttery sweet and smooth. Got a little orange on the tail as well. This one surprised me, I picked this up looking for a new bourbon to try under $50 and this delivers. Lots of fruit and festive notes.

This is a great summer Scotch or just one to have with desert after dinner. It’s light and fresh and doesn’t have a heavy cream profile. On the Nose: Green apple jolly rancher and green grapes with a nice smoked apple wood note. Palate: Grapes and citrus Finish: A nice smooth light finish like sugar cane with a great fruit flavor. Gave this a review a while ago, now have gotten to give it a good review. The more I try this the more I’m into it. It has that great springtime feel and that easy finish.

On the nose: I get a deep fried Oreo on the nose, definitely that cookie flavor coming out. Really kind of liked that. On the Palate: Brown sugar or cake batter one of the two got both on different tastes. Finish: Lots of flavor here, which is a good thing. Brown sugar with hints of spice I liked the mystery behind this one. Love that cookie and cream taste and brown sugar.

Been a while since I have re visited Sazerac so this may be updated from my last review One the nose: I get that Vanilla cinnamon Buffalo Trace taste. On the Palate: Light taste of an herbal tea flavor. Pretty light on the taste hard to find some of the notes. Could be better in the taste here. Finish: Cinnamon and a nice Rye burn. Also that after taste of charred barrel vanilla. Not bad definitely a great affordable daily drinker. Not bad but lacks some flavor on the finish and the overall taste. The nose was my favorite of these three categories

On the nose: Really beautiful sweet tea note. As someone from Texas this is a great point for me Palate: Very high cinnamon Finish: Can’t quite place the finish, almost like a butterscotch maybe. The higher proof hides the finish. But would love to hear your thoughts.

Excited to try this celebrity whiskey, picked up a bottle earlier at total wine. On the Nose: Really nice deep salted caramel note Palate: nice thick butter and cinnamon texture. I’m a fan of that really nice thicker taste like eating a cake or caramel in something Finish: lots of smooth toffee and and a great spice I really liked this. It was a shelf pick at total wine and specs Heard a lot of good things about Heavens door, I can say it will be a new favorite of mine.
