Tastes

Ok, that was different! Could really taste the wine cask, and the maple/toasted sugar came through very strong. Finish was a mile long with hints of sweet and toasty, almost root-Beerish flavor. One that would be awesome to have to share with other whiskey lovers, but I would likely not call this a regular sipper!!

Smooth. That’s about it.

Not bad. Cheap and easy drinking over 100 proof. A bit sweet.

Vanilla and Chocolate with a very smooth flavor. Spicy and dry with leather and herbal on the finish (maybe tobacco and leather). Mid finish with slight spice but not too much. Did I say dry? Baking spices coming through after a bit of air. Very good. Not sure it’s worth hunting down and paying more than $120!

Oh boy. Complex, baking spices and cinnamon on the nose. Maybe a bit floral. Sweet and spicy and all kinds of goodness going on. I need more time with this one! Finish is loooong and spicy.

Smooth. Haha. Kidding. Not as spicy as the description. Not a long finish. But just about right! I really liked this and will buy it.

TN-2; 12yrs 11 mos. Not as complex as the reviews seem to imply. I can see why another 2 years for the 14 might be the ticket. Fruity on the nose, tastes of vanilla, cherry, and spice. It’s good. But not $100+ good. The detail on the bottle and the idea, however, is cool. Not disappointed I bought it. But it will likely sit on the shelf for a while.

Vanilla and spice. Love the proof and spice over a traditional MM. Drinks smooth for the proof. Peanut brittle on the nose, but only after I read the reviews. But that doesn’t make it true! Good stuff.

I had to try this because the rye and double rye are very tasty. That said, if I wanted scotch in my bourbon, I would blended my own a long time ago. Not good. Nice try being different HW.
