Tastes

#3 in my New Years quest to find the Matrix,(Lol). My bottle is batch 44 and 116 proof. Nasal thoughts: caramel - sweetness, oak and a touch of leather. Tasty budz: sweet ethanol, charred oak and a bit flat after that. Definitely a youngster but with lots of potential and worth giving a try. I have been wanting to try this local distillery and finally found my own bottle. No regrets in picking up this bottle and will be curious to see what the future brings for this distillery.

#2 in my New Year's lineup. Was after an 11 year OF when I came across this, with slightly higher ratings I figured I'd pick it up. Just cracked her open. Nose: not a lot sweetness, leather and oak. Taste budzz: not overly complex and very balanced to the point where nothing is jumping out. Very smooth, a perfect sipper. Really enjoying this and can't wait to see how it opens up in time. Giving it a 4.25 for now, will revisit with a little time.

Just cracked batch 54 in my New Year's lineup. Nose: Caramel, oak a bit of citrus and leather. Taste budz: sweet caramel/brown sugar,ethanol,oak, citrus- juicy fruit gum. Solid drinker, see how this opens up.
