Tastes

This is like bananas foster in a glass. A touch of honey, dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg, and bubble gum sweetness. Light and smooth from the Irish style triple distilling. Becomes a little creamy with a splash of water.

This is something very different - like a tequila and an Irish whiskey had a baby. Like most others have said, the nose is very much grilled and buttered sweet corn. Or fresh kettle corn. Hints of herbs like thyme poke out too. The mouth feel is thin, but not watery, and little after taste. There is a hint of charcoal smoke, reigniting the grilled part of the corn. Lightly sweet, herbal, a touch of mint. Lots of hints of an aged mescal or tequila. Very unique whiskey for something different or when you want to challenge a whiskey aficionado to expand their palette.

Oak and bitter dark chocolate on the nose, hints of cherry and banana and cloves. Overall not bad, loses a lot with ice or water.

Def on the sweeter side - like a glazed hand pie. Nice as an aperitif.

This is like a liquid cherry cordial. Sweet cream, a touch of cherry, vanilla, and cocoa. It’s good for $20, but not very complex. But a nice dessert dram.

Syrupy sweet, like agave syrup was added to a basic whiskey. Very basic with little finish. Not as good as I had remembered and prob won’t get again.

Notes of capt’n crunch berry cereal, but with a funk or musty undertone. Sugar sweetness, but of heat, no real linger or finish.

Spicy, burnt brown sugar, white pepper. No real finish or lingering taste. Thin. Not my favorite.

On the nose, vanilla, apple pie, a touch of cinnamon. Palette is more sweet and spicy, oily in texture. Prob my preferred Balcones.

Strong butterscotch, vanilla, crème brûlée on the nose. Smells like candy. On the palette, a little spice and not much sweetness. Some herbal notes on the aftertaste. Smells way better than it tastes.
