Tastes

NOSE -------------------- -Sweet -burns a bit -a little licorice TASTE -------------------- -a little tart? -that licorice flavor is there -backend burn NOTES -------------------- -this is the most basic whiskey. But for $11, i mean youre not going wrong. It should be single note, and it is, but it does them solid.

NOSE ----------- -candied cherries. My MIL made these red chocolate cherries at Christmas. Smells just like that. TASTE ----------- -good mouthfeel, very smooth. -the notes are very different from the nose. -here's a new one...angel food cake NOTES ----------- -this is a fun rye. I expected cherry throughout, but the different tasting notes were cool. I dig it. Wouldn't mind drinking this again.

Neat in a rocks glass SMELL Woody, oaky. Something a little sweet TASTE Also woody, oaky Pretty smooth burn NOTES Really liked this. Its like a sophisticated version of what a guy that doesnt know anything about whiskey thinks Jack Daniels or Jim Beam tastes like. Its tastes like traditional whiskey, but done well. Very well.

PREPARED -Neat SMELL -butterscotch. -bran, or some type of oaty cereal -a little musty, just a hint. TASTE -a little licorice? -a little hot. -thick. Almost chewing it. -that mustiness came through a bit more at the end. THOUGHTS For 116 proof I'm glad it didn't burn my tounge off haha. It's a little hot but very manageable, I just wish the burn was smoother throughout. I like the Penelope toasted a lot more.

PREPARED -Neat SMELL -right away, sweet. -chocolate covered raspberries? -rootbeer TASTE -a little hot -creamy. Like a root beer float. -about thirty seconds after, butterscotch or caramel. Very interesting. THOUGHTS Overall Im not crazy in love with it, but its different than some other whiskeys I've had. The creamy mouthfeel was fun and added that new characteristic. It reminded me a lot of a barqs rootbeer float! I would love to compare this against regular JD. Might do that next time.

PREPARED -Neat SMELL -Hot. The alcohol stings a little on this one. -Floral. Like a hint of potpourri -a little medicinal. -vanilla? No, funfetti. TASTE -Still hot haha. But not in a bad way. Its there and lets you know, but tokerable. -Something a touch sweet. -kinda creamy. I think that funfetti smell comes through in the taste, in a good way.

PREPARED -One ice cube, standard size from fridge/freezer -2oz pour SMELL -Light cherry cordial -Maple -Vanilla -Maybe a little butterscotch? Or caramel -No burn really TASTE -no discernable flavoe comes through -littke bit of that maple flavor FINISH -even, slow burn. Pleasant.
