Tastes

On the nose: Floral notes, like youre sniffing some freshly grown flowers On the palate: Natural Honey was the note I received the most, with hints of earthy spices. The finish: Long and smooth, and similar to the Single Barrel Rye Overall: It’s impressive just how much different this one tastes compared to the regular single barrel select, and I would reccomend pucking this one up if ever at the Old Pepper Distillery!

On the nose: A bit of a toasted, oaky smoke flavor. Almost comparable to Mesquite wood On the palate: Very hot, with notes of spices and smoke. The finish: Long and smooth, with a hint of cinnamon coming out on the very end Overall: I liked this one a lot! But for my money, i prefer the Distillery Select. Speaking of…

On the nose: toffee and vanilla On the palate: an oaky honey flavor, with a hint of nuttiness. Pairs together well. The finish: The honey becomes more prevalent with maybe a small hint of of fresh fruit, possibly blackberry Overall: a very smooth bourbon with subtly sweet flavors. Recommend a pickup if you’re looking for a bourbon thats not too harsh and an easy sipping experience.

I’m a huge fan of Basil Hayden, so i had to give this one a try! Nose: Hazelnut, Caramel, Palate: Oaky, Toffee, Candied Apple Finish: Cinnamon, Citrus, Overall: its quite enjoyable!! I dont enjoy it as mich as the red wine cask Basil Hayden, but its one i would consider picking up if on sale!
