Tastes

This is the rural Inn April 13 batch. Proof is 122.8. The nose has has heavy toffee and Marshmallow. There’s just a hint of There’s just a hint of grain and cereal.There’s a fair amount of drying oak but also significant sweetness and heat. There is a peppery floral know. The finish is medium to medium long

Brown sugar and maple. Barbecue smoke. Gentle heat. Round, rich, delicious. Love this with dessert.

Not my cup of tea at first. Hot with a ton of spice, but lacks the sweetness of a true bourbon and the nuance of a high rye. I suspect it would go well in an old fashioned but obviously you’re not pulling this bottle off the shelf for that. This gets significantly better as it opens up. The sweetness intensifies, the spice mellows into rich cinnamon, warm oak, black pepper and chocolate. The finish is medium at best.

Nose is sweet candy. With oak and hay. Rich round mouth feel. Taste is sweet, with mild burn, orange peel, cinnamon, and clove. The finish lasts forever with heavy oak and vanilla.
