Tastes

$8/oz 1st honest pour of a Scotch to try and see if I enjoy. Im a bourbon drinker, and like to try new tastes and pours. I prefer bourbons that are sweet(er) rather than leather, smoke or grassy/earthy. Very easy drinking. This was quite sweet and citrusy. Moith feel means a lot to me, i like a heavy-oily coating of the mouth… i feel like i get a better taste for it. This, was very oily and heavy/thick. I very much enjoyed this. If I can find a bottle near near me, it will come home with me.

Nose: sweet and fruity. Not too robust/complex. Taste: the sweetness comes through… just as the nose, it’s not a lot. There’s a bit of ethanol bite, like it’s a little too young for this to be a great sip. Palate: thin and warm, sweetness carries all the way. Overall: I could drink this every day without disappointment. It’s nice, not great and reminds me of a younger version of eagle rare.

ABV: 58.6 Neat, deep red color. N: sweet and fruity like sherry P: Strong sherry taste, fruity (plum, is what I got). For a high ABV not a lot of burn and no ethanol taste. Very enjoyable, extremely unique… angels envy and strait edge don’t come close.

First pappy experience. Neat. Taste: For me, the cinnamon was front and center. The earthiness was second up, followed by a slight vanilla/honey. This would have been a great bourbon sip if not for the earthiness, which I am by no means a fan of. Would I buy a bottle? No. Would I pay for shot, or part of a flight? No. I would skip this one because of that earthiness. My mind likens it to drinking fancy dirt-filtered-water. Price: free, after party enjoyment festivities with friends.

Worth it. This reminds of Woodford Reserve double oaked… however, less oaky on the palate. There’s a little “warmth” on tongue, but not a lot and not too spicy especially for the ABV.
