Tastes

I was excited to try this but all I am getting is strong oak and rye notes with a hint of cherry but it was barely noticeable to me. Pretty disappointed overall. Sure its “drinkable” but its not a $160 bottle and I can name 20 bottles in the $60-$100 rage that destroy this bottle.

Mine is a single barrel pick from The Mansion in Florida. On the nose I’m getting brown sugar, molasses, light notes of cherry, some cinnamon, some oak. For taste I am definitely getting cinnamon and brown sugar. It’s very syrupy/oily which I enjoyed. I would definitely buy this again. Really enjoyable dram.

One of the best whiskeys I have ever tried. On the nose I am getting fresh cut green apple, honey, pear, dry hard cider, light toasted oak - and I have to say I am getting those exact same notes on the taste side of things as well. This was my first of the “spots” and I cannot wait to try the rest of the lineup!

First taste was through a handshake neat. Easy sipper and fair at $40-50. Michigan retail is $120…I would be disappointed at that price point. Added a couple drops of water and it opened up and was better/smoother. I want to try this on the rocks.

Definitely getting some peaty notes - semi-scotch like. Nose has cherry, oak, vanilla. Taste has cherry, light notes of honey. The initial taste has kind of a burst of complexity and then the alcohol definitely takes over mid-to-tail end and kind of deadens the taste entirely. Definitely need to get into the bottle more but my initial reaction is that it may be good for a mixer (old fashioned’s).
