It doesn’t make Luke pucker up as much. I get peach cobbler with sugar crystals sprinkled on top on the nose. The palate is a bit more full and rich. Brown butter, cinnamon and allspice. It’s plenty sweet, but it also has a good bit of earthy character that I really appreciate. That’s a unique, robust whisky with a nice long spicy finish.

Very Christmasy on the nose, fresh leather and spice. Plenty of proof behind it too. First sip was very piney and spicy. The palate evolves into oaky brown sugar, cola, and nutmeg primarily. Everything is turned up to 10. The mouthfeel is a little oily, leading to a long herbal finish. The proof and rye bitterness hit a little hard in the middle of the development, which to me is a minus, but not a huge one. Would I buy it at retail? Probably. Would I shell out for it? No.

The nose hits me with street corn right away. Nice charred flavor along with corn sweetness. The palate is plenty velvety and spicy, like French oak tends to be. It has a little bitterness on the tail end from the barrel that detracts some. The finish is medium with some pretzel or salted popcorn. There’s a bit of blackberry and pomegranate too. It’s not an absolute banger, but it is unique.
