Tastes

Char. Wheat. Equal parts sweetness and heat.

Cherry. Menthol. Acetone. Citrus. Was not a fan.

Standard wild turkey profile. Orange citrus. Leather. Slight toasted barrel in the finish. It's good but it's not $175 good.

Oak. Dusty funk. Nutty. Sweet. Vanilla towards the end. Smooth for 120.2 proof. Overall great complexity and balanced flavors. I am really enjoying this. Tasted in a blind tasting. Results: #1 - C921 #2 - B522 #3 - NH Private Barrel #4 - A122 #5 - A119

Caramel. Oak. Char. Honey. Medium sweetness and slight burn. Overall very well balanced.

Incredibly smooth. Jack Daniel's signature banana flavor. Maple. Leather. Oak. Some heat towards the end.

Vanilla. Caramel. Nice mouthfeel and just the right burn. The perfect amount of oak. Not too hot considering 138 proof. Overall this is an incredibly well balanced bourbon. In my opinion this should be the benchmark for which all other bourbons are compared. I had William Larue Weller 2020 immediately following this and I preferred the George Stagg 2020.

Rye spice. Mint. Honey. Pear and clove in the finish. It is very light and mellow.

Rye. Red Hots. Earthy. Black Pepper. Apple finish. Aftertaste is bitters (Underberg) and cherry cough syrup. Thick and chewy viscous mouthfeel. No burn whatsoever.

Intense oak. Smoke. Caramel. Red wine late in the finish. A bit of must in the aftertaste. Drinks incredibly smooth, especially when considering the proof. 10 Year. Barrel 1415. Proof 129.4.
