Tastes

nose - citrus, cloves, faint oak and chocolate mint palate - rye spices predominate, anise notes, herbal, not overly sweet, some heat finish - licorice, long for a 90 proof good for a $25-30 bottle. mixer or sipper

Nose - heavy vanilla, sweet corn, some rye spices but not Palate - high viscosity, exceptional mouthfeel, sweet caramel apple, vanilla cream, heavy baking spices, rye notes at the end Finish - long and warm Exceptional whiskey. Not the best of the BTACs but outstanding nonetheless

Nose - brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, syrup Palate - sweet honey and very pleasant, the maple syrup is surprisingly not overbearing, classic bourbon flavors of vanilla, caramel, oak shine through Finish - short to medium length, fair warmth, about expected for a 90 proof bourbon This was a surprisingly good bottle of whiskey. Normally would not go for bourbon infused with anything, but this exceeded all expectations. Hate to admit that I prefer this over the same distillery's regular straight bourbon.

Nose - sweet corn, vanilla, oak, nuts, rye spices Palate - vanilla and caramel with high levels of nuttiness and rye notes Finish - medium length and warm Good 90 proof whiskey with classic bourbon flavor

Nose - sharp rye spices, notes of wet grass and dill Palate - sweet, spicy, rye forward, dill pickle, ends on notes of licorice, tastes a bit hotter than 90 proof Finish - medium length, warm Decent rye for a small distillery, not overly complex, but gets the job done. Would be nice to enjoy on cold winter weekday evening.

Nose - caramelized brown sugar, sweet smokey notes Body - sweet, warm, rich, strong spice level, very impressive for a 94 proof Finish - dark chocolates with citrus notes, warm and long Much richer, smokier, spicier, and more complex than Elijah Craig small batch. Solid bourbon

Nose - chocolate cherries and oak Palate - warm, sweet, fruity and floral and then dark chocolate notes with leather and tobacco at the end Finish - long and warm Great batch. Not exceptional for a $129 retail but it is a solid bourbon
