Tastes

Nose- Floral with hints of earth and a bit of lemon. Body- Honey and that sweet raw peanut that I get with some malts. Finish- Honey gives way to lemon and a an herbal, not-unpleasantly medicinal tongue tingle that. Note- This is a very easy drink although a little flat.

Nose- Smells young, caramel with a bit of apple. Body- young with a grajny bite. Cinnamon, Black pepper, and brown sugar. The rye comes through here. Has a thick mouthfeel. Finish- caramel and brown sugar. Note-.This is my favorite of the Journeyman series.

Nose- definitely has the nose of a young bourbon. Sweet corn notes are present with a bit of brown sugar. Body- Sweet and oily with grass and unsalted peanuts. Finish- grass and peanuts continue. Notes- A young bourbon with h a bite but not unpleasant.

Nose- That classic honey is there with raisin oatmeal. Vanilla is present as well. Body- Incredibly smooth drink with those classic Balvenie notes of honey and raisin and plum fruit. Finish- Fresh grassiness, plum or grape peel, honeysuckle, and a hint of mint finish a delicious dram. Note- Incredibly smooth. It warms you with no alcohol bite. I like this a lot but the 1401 may still hold the title.

This is the Northland edition. Nose- Honey and hints of peat with a bit of white grape. Body- A nice balance of peat and honey. The peat comes through more here than in the nose. Finish- pretty light and short. A good drink but light in depth.

Nose- Citrus, plum and a bit of smoke. Body- Sweet honey gives way to a lighter vanilla and then green apple. Finish- Sweetness gives way more to a very light smoke This is very good. Especially for the price.

Nose- Smoky peat with a bit of beef jerky Body- A good bit of brine is present with a mild floral sweetness. Finish- The smoke gives way to a sweet straw. I like this. It seems to be on the peat level of many Laphroaigs that I have tried.

Nose- There isn’t a lot here. Some grassiness and a bit of cinnamon maybe. Body- This is not at all complex but is very very easy to drink. There are some hints of black pepper and the grassiness continues. Finish- The warmth stays in your head. You feel almost nothing in your chest.

Nose- Vanilla and brown sugar Body- Vanilla continues with slight orange. Very mellow mouthfeel. Finish- the sweet, full mouthfeel continues with a slight bitter note on the end. This is an easy drinker. This was one of my favorite tastings at the Bulleit Experience/ old Stitzel-Weller distillery. My 100th tasting!

Nose- Very sweet like simple syrup and almost candy like. Body- Full bodies with woody vanilla notes Finish- lightly bitter with a hint of dark chocolate
