Tastes

Barreled in 2007. Nose is peppery, which is strange because I don't get that when I drink it. It doesn't seem complex and has one overwhelming note, unsalted peanuts. Finish doesn't last too long but is smooth.

Batch C-243, bottle 143. Poured into a glencairn. Nose isn't overwhelming, and smells sweet. I find the small amount of heat/pepper is on the tip of the tongue, and an overwhelming note of green apples toward the back of the tongue. Almost even a sour apple taste. The finish is short and quick with very little heat but heavy oak. Better bourbons at the price-point, but it's a nice sipper.

This bourbon is a little harsh if you drink it neat, but adding a few drops of water REALLY opens it up, and it is absolutely delicious. Lots of sweet notes, and very buttery. The heat from the proof hits the roof of your mouth, instead of your throat as you drink it. It costs about $50-60, and is worth it. #318, bottle 106, 105.5 proof.

Would never guess it's a high rye. It's very sweet and has a thicker feel as you drink it. Nice slow, low burn after the drink. One of my favorites right now, and an absolute steal at $20

Nose: strong alcohol smell with a hint of mixed berries Minimal bite or heat, relatively smooth throughout. Tastes of mixed berries and even strawberry. Not very much depth.

SB4 New #4 Char, Bottle 6 of 105, aged 2 years, 110.7 proof Nose: snickers bar, caramel, nuts Burn is on the back end with no bite up front. Earthy, peat moss, caramel, butterscotch. Has the taste of a Clif Bar. At $65 this is a fantastic and interesting single barrel bourbon. For only being aged 2 years, it has depth and is pretty smooth.
