Tastes

Against other reviews, I really don’t get the heat with this as much as others of this proof. I get some pepper taste, almost a little peanut, something making it sweet (probably some vanilla) and there’s a flavor I can’t place. Very interesting but I’m glad I was able to get this one. Another I need to come back to.

Really didn’t give this a fair shake the first time. Oddly not as hot as the regular store pick. I almost get maple on the nose which is odd. Body is light and uneventful but inoffensive. I don’t love the finish (it’s finishes like a light rye). But I won’t cut on it anymore.

Tons of oak/leather taste (obviously) but a lot lighter than anticipated. Not my fav because of this odd aftertaste, almost sour.

Was told this was fireball on steroids and so true. Body is so hot like it’s all spice and cinnamon. Definitely have to enjoy that to love this (I do). A little sweetness to keep it balanced but this is all spice. Makers just always kills it!

A perfect amount of vanilla and sweetness with no heat in the body. Rounds out with some cinnamon at the end.

Not sure if this is the right one but 141 proof. Wild how drinkable it is for the heat it packs. Didn’t get enough to truly rate but I could drink a glass of it for sure.

Correct bottle, wrong store pick. You really can’t go wrong with Amburana or Starlight. Such an amazing sweetness like drinking a liquid churro. A little more spice than expected but overall just amazing!

An almost maple body with a ton of oak/wood. Vanilla finish with a perfect amount of spice

A nice sweetness but also comes with a lot more spice that lingers a long time. Not as much oak and leather as I expected.

Very oak heavy like the 10 year but a lot more spice. Not as much sweetness as I’d like, especially for a heavy corn bill.
