Tastes
-
Aromas of fruit, green apples, caramel and grains pop to mind. A fairly sweet smelling bourbon Taste has a lot of those fruits, slight spicy and grainy notes, oak, and a vanilla near the finish. Nice stuff A little water, while usually I enjoy, makes this a little more astringent I feel. The finish lingers, some burn, with that vanilla and barrel really being the flavor that lingers. The first half of this bottle, I was very skeptical in how highly sought after this is, but the more I try, the more I enjoy this.

Reviewed February 21, 2018 (edited October 30, 2018)Aroma is all over the place. Campfire, fruits, band aids, permanent marker, general earthiness and leather. Underneath it all, there’s some sweetness to it Taste is dominated by smokiness, medicinal notes, leather and fruits. The finish has lasting, lingering flavors, and a slight burn.Morelli's -

Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 17, 2018 (edited December 12, 2018)Nose: all sweets, brown sugar and huge vanilla. Swirling produced caramel apples, slight spice Taste: taste follows the nose, a sweet vanilla and brown sugar, caramel, and some cinnamon once the bourbon sits on the tongue. Finish: Cinnamon, slight slight heat, and a mellow lingering flavor. Overall: this is a damn fine bourbon, and I’d recommend grabbing this if you see it.Cub Liquor -
Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey
Wheat Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 17, 2018 (edited September 21, 2018)The nose initially had a pretty sweet vanilla aroma, with some general cereal sweetness Taste has a lot of bready flavors honey, and very very mild spice. There’s an Apple/pear thing too. Adding a bit of water gives way to more fruity notes The finish is very clean, with little lingering flavors. This whisky was part of a tester set I got, and is a nice surprise. I was expecting this to be merely okay, but I really dig this.
