Tastes

Good for the price. I wish I could place the flavor I'm getting. Some sort of fruit. It's definitely unique.

Great balance between sweet and spice. Nice finish with a little astringent quality. A favorite.

Cinnamon is up front. Alcohol burn is there. Not bad, but too spicy for my preferences. Will be a good mixer, but I doubt I'll choose it neat very often.

A little hot for my preference.

Nose: Vanilla, acetone, maybe a little leather. Palate: Vanilla, brown sugar, rye spiciness (but not a lot). Unassuming, fairly short finish.

Lots of fruit on the nose. Pepper and spice on the palate. Long finish. A little hotter than I'd expect for the proof.

Significant alcohol in the nose. Fruit in the early palate (banana? peach?), along with some pepper. Finish is long and mildly hot. A cube of ice mellows it a bit. Good bourbon, not my favorite, but a good value.

Obvious vanilla and oak on the nose. Caramel is a bit more subtle. Clove, spice, and fruit on the palate. Very smooth.

Cherry, vanilla, brown sugar, and a little bit of acetone on the nose. Pretty serious spice on the tongue accompanied by cherry. The high rye content is evident. The burn sticks around on a lingering finish. This bourbon seems to get a lot of hype, and it's good, but it's not at the top of my list.
