Tastes

Not sweet. The aroma is fantastic. It’s a little hot for me straight. It made fantastic Manhattan.

It’s got a lot of character! It is a tad spicier then I like but it’s a unique bourbon, even though it’s spicy it’s not a burn. There is some woodsiness and I do think there’s a licorice in an anise flavor. I do not get the spice on the nose only on the younger which is unlike when I taste a spicy rye. It’s solid offering, it’s not a smooth easy supper though, it’s interesting though.

Malty and caramel to me. It’s maybe approaching a sweet scotch. I like this. Random note…. I’m not tasting connection to Russell’s 6, 10, or SiB…. Guess I need to think about that more.

Nice light oak. Cherry and orange. Some nice sweetness.

Caramel and oak for me. A bit unsophisticated flavor. Not much going on here for me…

Old time bourbon flavor. Vanilla, oak, I get oaky leather. Reminds me of my grandpa for some reason, not kidding. Good marketing. It’s a unapologetic solid whiskey.

The professional tasting note hits all the high points. Malty, cherry. Thick finish, a bit oily. A little spice but not peppery. Overall a good sipper on ice.

Malt. Fruit. This is very explorable without any harshness. No alcohol or burn at this proof.

Toasted aroma. Has semi-strong, approaching too strong, peppery spice to it. Warm on the finish. It’s enjoyable if you’re ready for the spice.

It’s got personality. Strong caramel. Some cherry. Slight whiff of ethanol, but not too strong. Love the bottle (sorry, had to say it). Follow their recess, it’s real farm to bottle. Props for that. I think they’ll continue to grow.
