Tastes

It’s obviously good but overrated in my opinion and I may actually prefer the lot b. Got notes of graham cracker and butterscotch and cherry.

Paired very well with a cigar!

I can’t believe I’m saying this but the description of this one is spot on. I can actually get the “banana runts” candy in both the nose and on the palate and not slightly either, it up front about it. I also get notes of vanilla pudding. Overall, an excellent pour!

Nope

I’m kind of surprised by the lower reviews on this one, maybe because of the price point? I will say it is priced a little high in my opinion but I try not to let that affect my reviews. I didn’t get the cherry others mentioned, I kind of found it fairly buttery. I do believe it was a little alcohol forward considering the lower proof.

This is simply amazing. I’ve had all but 2 of these expressions and I think this one may just be my favorite. It blows the 16 out of the water in my opinion!

Tasted neat first and pretty much got all oak and char. Added some water and gave it some time but other than bringing the proof down, I didn’t think it changed it very much. Maybe picked up a hint of cherry. The finish was fairly lengthy but kind of muted, really had to search for the notes but overall it was a pleasant pour!

Extremely sweet nose with a little musty oak...not at all what I was expecting. I found the rye spice to be extremely muted as well but it was there after a little searching. At the low proof it is obviously smooth but it packs a fair amount of flavor despite that. I’ll definitely be on the look out for the barrel proof expression.
