Tastes

Spice, oak, vanilla, balanced mouthfeel. Puff of smoke, followed by the oakey mid palate.Sweetness hangs in there on the back of your tongue. Great for everyday drinking

Smells hot, youthful and sweet. Opens with a punch of spice and oak, lingers and the oak rolls around the tongue. A tin like aftertaste develops from the oak. Clove and vanilla are in there, but nothing complex about this one. Needs more time to develop, much better bourbons out there for the price.

Sweet corn on the nose, followed by heat and lots of oak. There’s a strong metallic taste I can’t shake loose. It’s a bourbon, but not my jam. Too much oak overpowers anything else that can be discovered for me.

Sweet nose of banana bread. Initial sip is hot and spicy as expected, but the mid palate is where it shines. Raisins, cinnamon, vanilla and plenty of oak. Tingles the tongue, but is still a bit aggressive and lingers on exit. Plenty of heat, maybe a dash of water would help, but might mute the flavors. Oily and spicy- not something I would crave.

Sweet smell, beautiful amber color. Perfect abv to swoosh around. Rich caramel and kisses of baking spice. It’s not too complex but it’s done so well you won’t waste time searching for other flavors. just what a sherry cask scotch should be.
