Tastes

First of all yes it is over priced but it’s good bourbon. Nose - sweet and floral Taste - oaky, green apple , buttery and nutty This bottle would fly of the shelves at $80. It has no age statement but I’m thinking it’s a 8-12 year old blend.

Pour neat: Nose: oaky, dried fruit Taste: it’s dry, dark fruit. A little nutty, fruity under tones. Afterthoughts: super oaky with good proof!

Nose: some floral notes. I don’t get a lot Taste: toffee, brown sugar, with some green apple. Finish: crème brûlée with smoke smoky oak. For $130 a bottle I would like to see more. It’s a good bottle of bourbon. I enjoy the fact the tell you where everything come from and what percentage the batch is made with. I do enjoy who the each sip just lingers with you.

I’m almost done with my bottle, thank god! This bottle has everything I love in bourbon. Sweetness Oaky Smokey But there is something wrong with this combination. There is this after taste with this bourbon that should not be there.

This is one of the best bourbon that is available in Virginia right now. Nice complex flavor profile.

A week open: Nose: fruity alcohol with notes of oak. Taste: creamy and full of flavor. Dried fruits with some Smokey oak, peanuts. It’s a good pour if you have a $100 sitting around.

First tasting. Nose: lots of berries, some spice Taste: dried fruit hits first then I get some dark chocolate and spice. The chocolate flavor stays for several minutes. Now for $109 in Virginia I will have to get back to you on whether it’s worth the price.

This batch just doesn’t have the nice rye spice. There is just no wow factor with this one. Sweet tea like taste.

So I’ve had this open for a couple of months and I haven’t enjoyed until last night. Served neat. Nice mixtures to taste and smell. With warm wine undertones. I don’t know if it’s worth the $130 price but still a good rye.
