Tastes

Aromas of brown sugar, ripe banana, lemon, lanolin, leather, and a touch of passion fruit. Round mouthfeel. On the palate, more brown sugar, lemon, passion fruit, and lanolin – with a medium-long finish dominated by oak and baking spices. 3.25/5.00 – Quite Good (neat)

On the nose, subtle notes of pine, coriander, maple syrup, and milk chocolate. Light and round mouthfeel. On the palate, more pine and coriander, along with toffee and orange peel. Medium-length finish. Plenty of smoothness here – but without much complexity, and with minimal intensity. 2.50/5.00 – Acceptable (neat)

On the nose, sweet notes of toffee, vanilla, nutmeg, apple chips, and charred oak. Very oily, moderately tannic mouthfeel. On the palate, more notes of nutmeg, toffee, and vanilla – plus campfire smoke and orange zest. Finish is medium-length and dominated by smoke, with relatively little heat. 3.00/5.00 – Good (neat)

Distinct notes of vanilla, oak, and baking spice on the nose, with a milder hint of toasted coconut. Light, fairly round mouthfeel. More oak, vanilla, and toasted coconut on the palate, plus lots of pepper which persists throughout the finish. Finish is on the shorter end, but is also noticeably smooth. Nothing unique to be found here, but quintessentially easy-drinking. 2.50/5.00 – Acceptable (neat)

Vanilla, charred oak, nutmeg, and honey on the nose. Very light mouthfeel for a bourbon, with noticeable heat relative to the low proof. Vanilla and honey return on the palate, giving way to lemon peel and wood smoke on the short-medium finish. 2.25/5.00 – Mediocre (neat)
