Tastes

Complex taste which sits on the tongue for awhile. A kick to start with smokiness and apple pie with the slight burn from rye in middle ending with a sweet caramel. Recommend letting sit. Can be consumed straight but water complements which is how I am drinking

Excellent smooth buttery taste. Well balanced.

Young taste with a spiciness from the weighting on rye. Not as down on this as other reviewers. Tastes of vanilla and pepper.

For an 8 year old bourbon this is a fine pour. Taste a little bit of Chardonnay oak and cigar wood and it’s not overly sweet. Balanced with notice of light char barrels. Rounding up to a 4 because the Mrs really enjoys this.

For barrel proof bourbon, this has balanced taste. I enjoy this on the rocks with a splash. Taking it neat can bring a bit of a burn. Will buy again.

A well balanced bourbon, with some vanilla and light caramel. Good neat or on rocks And summer or colder seasons.
