Tastes

A generous taste courtesy of Pie Chef Guy. Wow. This is it. The grandaddy bourbon. Been looking forward to this for a long time. I immediately notice the strong scent of vanilla, butterscotch, toffee and brown sugar. The taste is buttery and sweet with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, magic, fairy dust, viper venom, stardust and a touch of oak. It's like Nilla Wafers on steroids, coated in maple and applesauce. This is DAMN good!

This is a pretty decent bourbon. It smells of fresh apple juice and vanilla, with a touch of honey. The taste is strongly apple cider, cinnamon, nutmeg and hazelnuts. Simply put, it's good.

The nose has light and playful scents of dried berries, fallen leaves, a touch of orange peel and oats. There is a slight yeasty component, kind of like walking into a bakery in the morning when the ovens are still warming up. The taste is smooth and silky, containing flavors of toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, dried apple and figs. There is a subtle touch allspice and french cookies in the finish. For lack of a better description, I would compare the taste to a really good trail mix.

Talk about a rare find, and an incredible bourbon. If you think the original Blanton's was good, then this stuff will knock you on your a$$. The nose has strong notes of butter, pears, raspberry jam and pecans. The taste is even better with flavors of honey, molasses cookies, light cinnamon, oil and butter. Very, VERY good. This is a treat and an experience.

This is a generous taste courtesy of Pie Chef Guy. There are subtle scents of butter, caramel and apples. This has an oily taste, that rolls right into an odd, flowery medicinal taste. This is an odd one. Further notes of cinnamon in the surprisingly quick finish.

A generous taste courtesy of Pie Chef Guy. It's always good to start with chapter one. This wiskey has an interesting nose. It's earthy, kind of like dry moss, and has a light touch of buttery walnuts. The tongue is spicy with tastes of cinnamon, cloves, molasses and mixed nuts. This is a full figured whiskey with sharp edges and a soft center. It's good, simply good.

A generous taste courtesy of Pie Chef Guy. This is an odd one. The nose is surprisingly fruity and perfumy. There is a strange, almost medicinal smell kind of like a fresh band aid. The taste is not any better. It's like a spiced ace bandage dipped in rubbing alcohol and cherry medicine. Me thinks not.

Excellent, strong and full of character. The nose has immediate notes of ,sugar cookies, cardamom and pecan pie. The taste is quite similar with flavors of cinnamon, maple, candied pecans and candied ginger. Very tasty and full flavored.

This is tasty and a great partner to some solid BBQ. The nose is full of maple syrup, oak and roasted nuts. The taste has wonderful notes of brown sugar, maple and shortbread. Good, simple and tasty.

Um, no. Just no. I tried this out of curiosity, and I wish someone would have talked me out of it or at least hit me over the head with something. We need to ask Elon Musk if he will let us use one of his rockets to fire every bit of this abomination into space. I think I need a shower.
