Tastes

Nose - This nose is giving me a lot of fruit. Some apple, grape, bright blackberry, alongside some vanilla. There is also a little breadiness to this, almost very charcuterie like. Some baked honey and vanilla lingers around the fruit, adding more to the idea of a wine spread. Palate - So off the bat notice a lot more oak than ‘23. However, theres a lot of light custard, vanilla, tobacco, and cherry notes that compliment it sooo nicely. There adds some barrel spice and black pepper in a very comfortable way. Finish - The finish pairs fantasticly with the palate. The transfer is seamless and not as harsh as the proof may suggest. It goes from that light barrel spice back into a vanilla and down into a cinnamon before disipating into a medium comfortable hug.

Nose - Lots of berries, cream, charred leather, toasted oak, hints of honey, mandarin, apricot. Extremely complex and keeps changing. Berry skittles. Palate - More of that toasted tight leather. Some more bright berry and soft vanilla (cream). A small amount of smoke from a charred oak. Finish - Nice and warm buttered cinnamon and barrel spice.

Nose - Some bitter peat, dried apricot, plum, stained lightly toasted leather. Palate - Light, smooth, maybe some bitter wood and more of that dried apricot/plum. Its a light fruity note, nothing crazy but nice and easy to sip on. Theres some herbal/vegetale notes as well that kind of pair well with the dry fruit. Almost like it would be a great whiskey to have with a charcuterie board. Finish - A very light a smooth version of the palate. Not my speed but definitely one of the better scotch’s ive had.

Nose - Loads of honey and maple. Theres some oak and tobacco that accompanies the sweet notes, but definitely a lot of honey and some cinnamon. Palate - Theres some honey coated mint thats obvious. Maybe some toasted oak lingers along with some leather. Definitely some cinnamon on the back end of the palate. Finish - Lots of barrel spice and cinnamon warms you. Theres some light condensed milk that softens it but def spicy.

Nose - Phenomenal nose! Loads of dulce de leche, mixed with condense milk on top of a blonde brownie. TSuch a sweet, and complex desserty nose. It legit smells like a freshly baked cake with cream cheese frosting, sweet and thick. Palate - Yea thats nice, might be the best gts off the bat. Nice and sweet with lots of barrel char, spice, and cinnamon. Definitely get more of that vanilla cake with a side of vanilla cola. Finish - Some more cola, oak, cinnamon, pepper, all over a layer of vanilla custard. Awesome pour

Nose - Banana bread, toffee crunch, theres some lemon zest like a lemon bar, lots if baking goods, a dash if baking spice to top it. Palate - More of that toffee, like a toffee cake with cinnamon that lays over a top of icing. Theres more of that lemon bar that comes through. Finish - Light, some baking spice and vanilla icing.

*** MBS *** Nose - Some cinnamon some baking spice. Theres some burnt smokiness in here like a fresh burnt oak. Theres some vanilla sweetness but its not the highlight of the nose. Some bt cherry if course. Palate - Its thin but really nice and more complex than a regular BT. Some baking spice, cherry, and leather. Simple combination but works well to be complex on the spice Finish - Some cherry and cinnamon. Hotter on the way down but not overbearing.

*** 143 *** Nose - Smells the same as the 139 with more clean ethanol. Palate - Again, very similar to the 139 but this feels like it has more banana on the mid palate that then turns into honey. Not as hot on the palate. Finish - Okay here its hotter for sure. Not as oaky and def more sweet than the 139 but they are both very close and similar.

*** 139 *** Nose - Just straight ethanol. Gonne let it open up. Okay lets go back, some banana, peanuts, and honey. Massive amount of cinnamon and spice. Palate - Definitely some peanuts, baking spice, cinnamon, and some toasted oak. There is a small sweet note that kind of carries everything together. Like some of that banana and a little vanilla. Finish - Just so hot lmao. Really lingers in your chest for a while. But its got some oak some honey and more of those peanuts.

*** CRAZY UNCLE MIKES *** Nose - Such a clean nose. Light and bright pear or apple. Maybe some white grape. Some light wood notes. Palate - Kind of chewy. Honestly typical BT pick with some light and crisp notes. Finish - Same of the palate.
