Tastes

Super hot neat. I needed 3 small ice chips to open it up more and ease the burn (could have done more)

Fine Irish whiskey but the addition of the oak, and especially the sherry casks, gives this a little more depth, spice, and vanilla notes.

I don’t hate it, but it is NOT as smooth compared to other bourbons like Evan Williams that are much cheaper. Too much noticeable alcohol burn in the nose and in the finish (i can feel this burn down my throat/chest). Taste is good, very rye and baking spices forward, cherry; I could see this being a good base for a holiday cocktail. I am not a rye whiskey fan but I can see rye fans liking this a lot more.

Light bodied, almost artificial flavors and astringent alcohol burn and after taste. Don’t even like this in cocktails.

Smooth. Honey, melon, cereal, almost some sake notes in the profile. Only slight burn at the end and slight bitter finish. Very drinkable/sessionable.

Char, caramel, spice. Not amazingly smooth, but not too harsh either. Cheap but still very solid. Could be my new go to cheap bourbon for cocktails.

Nose is very astringent alcohol with spice. Kind of off putting and cheap smelling but the taste is a different animal. Smooth, very sweet honey, toffee and super spice; but still finishes with too much ethanol coming out of my nose.

Reminds me of Glenlivet 12. Can taste the barre aging a bit more and more smooth and honey notes.

More grain and spice forward. Lighter mouthfeel. Not bad.

A little too much rubbing alcohol in the nose, but the taste leans more to a scotch with spice cookie and butterscotch notes. Mostly smooth, but does have a little burn at the end.
