Tastes

nose - floral, honey, oak and sherry, leather body - sweet warm vanilla, pears, spicy peppers, malted grains; the bourbon notes from the nose does not carry into the palate, this finishes like a highland scotch finish - long and warm Not the most characteristic Japanese whisky, but it is quite enjoyable. Would be a good transition for bourbon drinkers

Nose - hints of grass, opens up to fresh creme brûlée, cinnamon rolls, caramel, sheet cake, vanilla icing Body - full bodied, viscous, chewy rich, sweet creamy warm vanilla, nutty caramel Finish - long and hot Well done. Outstanding balanced rich creamy wheated bourbon. One of the finest batches of LBP to date

Nose - rich honey, citris, mulling spices, madiera Body - sweet, warm honey, oak, vanilla, great balance of flavors from ex-bourbon and desert wine casks Finish - long and warm exceptionally crafted scotch

Nose - vanilla, corn alcohol, licorice Body - tastes less mature than the classic offering from this distillery, more thin, sweet spices, floral Finish - short to medium length, pleasant warmth

Nose - banana maple, unusually fruity for high rye Body - vanilla, black pepper, spices, grassy notes, classic rye spices Finish - medium length, warm

Nose - vanilla, baking spices, caramel, aptly named classic bourbon notes Body - sweet, medium bodied, medium viscosity, licorice and cinnamon Finish - short to medium length, pleasant warmth

Nose - oak predominates, caramel baking spices Body - creamy, vanilla, oily, balanced, perfect viscosity Finish - medium to long, pleasant warmth Solid bourbon - not nearly as complex as ORVW, and slightly behind OWA but solid overall.
