Tastes

Creme brûlée, brown sugar, vanilla, oak, lingering corn.. No need spending more for a daily.

Vanilla, oak, and leather.. Hints of fruit peel. Slightly nutty. Makes me think I’m in a leather chair in a den with books all around me with the smell of a good pipe tobacco wafting through the air.

If you don’t have a bottle of this on hand at the price you can get it at, then what are you doing with your life. The best budget daily drinker there is. Period.

Usual Brown Foreman profile, which to me is darker flavors accentuated with a slight nuttiness. Can never really go wrong. More brown sugar than vanilla. Almost like molasses. Some cinnamon, under ripe apple. Hints of pear or other white fruit. Slight ethanol. Not a lingering finish.

This is good. I’ll start with that. Creamy flavors abound. Well balanced. Nothing jumping out of the glass. Vanilla, roasted peanuts. Caramel. Hints of green apple peel. Faint orange.. For the price I paid I was expecting more honestly but as it’s a neck pour and a first impression I’ll have to revisit it.

Thin caramel, seawater and hay on the finish. Very slight peat.. Almost like eating a soft caramel by the ocean. Great budget Scotch.. Not your usual Islay.

Oak and vanilla on nose. Oak quickly dissipates on palate. Hints of cinnamon, red apple peel, butterscotch candies and vanilla. Some cherry on the finish. Great sipper.

Shiny vanilla. Hints of grass. Dry oak. Some red fruit hiding down in there.. Between this and white label BIB I don’t know why you’d choose this.

Rich vanilla and oak. Buttery finish.

Middle of the road. Not much going on. Dry, oaky. Young. No real flavor development. Not offensive. Not bad. Just nothing of any real note.
