Tastes

Nose: very sweet. Almost smells like a caramel or toffee candy. Cinnamon. Corn. Palate: caramel apple. Buttered sweet corn. Silky mouthfeel. Lack of oaky maturity which is unsurprising from a 12month age statement. Finish: lingering finish, very soft slow burn, the cinnamon and caramel fighting for attention.

Nose: light– cherry, orange, woody Palate: simple, light, mild pepper, very oaky. Dry mouthfeel. I was expecting more complexity from a sour mash, but I didn’t find that here. Finish: very short finish, it just disappears

Nose: cherry, honey, maybe a little nutty Palate: nutmeg, oak, a little thin… or soft? Finish: short finish, oak with a very light pepper more.

Nose: leather, green apple, almost smells like a brandy Palate: sweet up front, just a little woody with a mild bite like a red hot candy Finish: medium finish, dry, a hint of black pepper and cinnamon

Nose: bright, sweet… Orange zest, vanilla Palate: light cinnamon, very sweet- orange cream, vanilla, hint of clove Finish: soft, short finish. very mild burn Note: After adding 3 drops of water, everything muted.

Nose: rich vanilla, mild oaky scent, sweet Palate: sweet on the tip, rounding into oak and caramel notes– wonderfully warming bite Finish: short to medium finish, much shorter finish than expected for 100 proof

Nose: rich caramel, vanilla sweetness, butterscotch, iodine Palate: up front oak, vanilla, caramel– a very subtle sweetness Finish: medium burn that rounds out into a nice cinnamon and Caramel finish. Long lasting finish with a rich cinnamon taste on every deep breath.

Nose: corn, cinnamon, oak, maybe a fruit note? Palate: very soft, round/balanced, almost thin tasting, mildly sweet, Finish: very slight pepper immediately, which fades to a light cinnamon. The cinnamon does linger for a medium to long finish.

Color: dark amber Nose: oak, cherry cola, hint of Vanilla Palate: oak, black pepper, cinnamon, black cherry, definitely one of the spicer whiskeys I’ve had… quite warming. Finish: long, lingering pepper, with just a bit of sweetness.
