Tastes

All of the deep rich flavors are emphasized here: d deep oak, baking spice, caramel, toffee, vanilla with a bit of maple and bright cherry around it all. Some fruit comes out on the end, but it seems to mostly finish with a spicy vanilla oak that hangs for a while. Medium finish. Not typical for makers, and really good. Love the nice sweet cherry pastry-like flavors with a good punch - up my alley.

Pretty good. Not a lot to the nose- pretty cut and dry young oak and vanilla. A bit of jammy peach-like notes in there too. Vanilla opens up big on the palette with a honey sweetness. Tastes like a high rye profile- a little bit of that jammy fruit with the green tea flavor / rye spice comes out, mostly on the tail end. It’s youth shows a little on the tail end, but only if your passing attention. Finishes hangs for a little bit, dissipating into a white pepper spice

Kind of a rasin-like honey flavor to it. A bit of a dry oak toang around the edges

It has that same muted / rounded but rich carmel butterscotch flavor that i get from Eagle Rare, just less oak, a little thinner, and a little more brightness / bite On the back end that comes from the youth

The nose doesn’t reveal much. The oak stands out first. Maple sweetness comes into the picture with a little brown sugar / molasses. The palette is freaking awesome. The sip dogs straight into a deep molasses maple syrup flavor. Reminds me of eating a big pancake breakfast in a five star 24/7 diner. I don’t know where the 64% alcohol hides either. There is a dry oak note that hangs out in the background, but it’s not distracting or offputting. The finish is awesome too. Just when it the flavor begins to fade, it comes back and hangs on the back of the tongue in a carmel sweet sort of way. Very enjoyable

Nose is like a peach / orange / apricot candy down the center. A bit of a green apple tang with a bit of powdered sugar / brown sugar sweetness in the background. Definitely a powdered sugar / marshmallow sweetness on the pallet. A little bit of orange and light red fruit notes, with some floral oak on the finish.

Its got a bit of that CO dry oak, but its suprisingly jusweet. Big jammy dark berry / plum flavor surrounded by the typical rye tones of black / green tea and spearmint. Almost a little maple flavor in there. Finished with a bit of that dry oak hit, but still on point. Im a fan.

Light, herbal tea nose. Palette starts that way, then digs into a lot of deeper notes. I get like a honey / toffee sweetness with almost a coffee / grape tang somewhere deep in there. Finish is ok

Big hitter. The nose reveals the proof pretty darn well. Definitely a lot of darker flavors. Palette is earthy- tobacco, leather, coffee, with some nice vanilla molasses maple sweetness. A lot of toasted oak that ends on almost a charcoal flavor that I’m not a big fan of. Kind of reminds me of the smell of a small town diner during breakfast. Adding water definitely brought out more of the sweet side and tamed the harsher notes.

Definitely a touch of that young medicinal-oak-tannin hit on the nose and beginning of the pallet. Mid pallet opens up into a nice creamy vanilla carmel, then it finishes with a bit of a strong punch with that young note coming a little big back into view. Good stuff overall, not spectacular though.
