Tastes

Someday I'll regret typing this. My Mother's Family is from TN. Try as I might, I seem not to enjoy Tennessee Whiskey as much as traditional Bourbon. I can't definitively say it's the charcoal filtering, but my thoughts are consistent and I would love to be predisposed to love it. Light Gold/amber color. Aroma of corn. I've never said it, but it's what I smell. Honey sweetness and some oak. Later after tasting I thought of Captain Crunch cereal. Quite oily. Flavor continues with corn, spearmint, honey, touch of banana at one moment. Don't add water. More corn front and center.

Copper in color early hint if mint in aroma. This leads to cherry and a touch of raspberry. Sweetness noted and a slight moment of smoke. Flavor brings along the cherry ads some spice, notably clove and black pepper. As I work through the glass some dark chocolate notes emerge. After adding a few drops of water, milk chocolate steps forward and the lingering flavor is of cocoa. I'd say my favorite notes here. It's good, but I prefer other bourbons more and definitely prefer their Rye to this.

Color is a medium copper. Nose is initially cherry, almond and some light spice. Later this becomes more of a mint note. Flavor - Honey, biscuit, butterscotch & nutty on the finish. Slightly oily and buttered toast flavor comes later. Later added some drops of water and don't suggest doing that. Nose vanished and flavors muted. Prior to the water it was stellar. Excellent

Really enjoyed this. Was suggested by my favorite bartender and the suggestion was spot on. Bright Orange/copper in color. Nose of cedar, lemon, touch of mint and Rye notes. Flavor also a bit floral, citrus (Lemon) with black pepper towards finish. Touch oily which is nice. Vibrant but rounded and not gritty. Like it a lot

Cherry on the nose with a good amount of oak present. Second wave brings butterscotch. Flavor has notes of coffee, pepper, some mint and clove. Later some cocoa in the nose. Couple drops of water later brought out more fruit notes in the flavor. And then a touch of almond.

I admit that at times I enjoy a bit of sweetness in my glass. This is luxurious and deep. Maple, molasses

Cedar and spice. Chart says lots of vanilla, but I honestly don't sense that much. Not to mention, it's seems salty to me and the chart shows this lower on the scale. (hmm, I'm sensing this differently than the profile for sure) A touch gritty, but still decent

Bright Copper in color. Aroma of cinnamon with both some vanilla and mint. More sweetness and caramel as it opens. Beautiful toasted bread notes. Caramel early and coffee notes later on the tongue. Seems to be a good deal of Rye in the spice. Huge finish here which is the highlight of this Bourbon. Toasted oak, moment of Maple and dark chocolate. Couple drops of water bring out some more chocolate notes.
