Tastes

Clove. Decadent sweet cherry. Dill.

Tastes like an oatmeal cookie. They did very nice with the finishing on this one.

Strong toasted oak flavor. Some isopropyl alcohol as well.

Cocconut in a sunscreen kind of way. Cherry. Vanilla. Decent.

Oak. Floral. Rye spice. Some grape in the finish. NH State Pick Recipe: OBSQ Warehouse: ME Barrel: 51-3G Proof: 115.4 Age: 10 years 8 months

Predominant honey flavor up front with a nice transition into rye spice. Ethanol in the mid to late sip. Jack Daniel's signature banana flavor is there in the background throughout. Aftertaste is banana and ethanol.

Apple. Chocolate. Starts out very sweet and finishes with a nice burn to balance it out. Dry finish with cherry and clove. Overall, this is an incredibly smooth bourbon albeit not exceedingly complex. This could serve as a benchmark for other barrel strength bourbons to be compared.

Caramel. Pecan pie. Oak. Smooth but with just enough bite to keep it interesting. When I first opened this bottle I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. Now that it’s had some time to oxidize I am tasting intense oak and cherry. Absolutely delicious.

Fruity. Black pepper. Touch astringent in the finish. Not my favorite flavor profile. Tasted in a blind tasting. Results: #1 - C921 #2 - B522 #3 - NH Private Barrel #4 - A122 #5 - A119

Warm but not hot. TONS of oak barrel. Typical Elijah Craig flavor profile that I know and love. Tasted in a blind tasting. Results: #1 - C921 #2 - B522 #3 - NH Private Barrel #4 - A122 #5 - A119
