Tastes

Nose- freshly varnished wood with an astringent feel Body- thick and oily with a touch of salt and butter, reminds me of toffee Finish- most interesting part of this pour, there is a sweet grassiness that reminds me of chewing on straw as a boy, I really like that Note- this is definitely more rich than regular makers and I think the salty oily body comes from the roasted staves, very interesting birthday president from Brother Craig.

Nose- sweet and nutty like French toast Body- dark, rich, and warm especially for a 12 yr with very light smoke, plum, walnut and brown sugar Finish- fresh and fairly light Note- another aha moment for me that I like Scotch just not heavy peat, very impressive for its age

Nose- strong with oak and tea Body- brown sugar, black tea, and lemon Finish- lemon and oak, lingers long Note- incredible bourbon for 40 dollars

Nose- honey, vanilla, Body- honey, vanilla, raisin, and roasted walnut Finish- drier than the body with pervasive dark chocolate and a hint of coffee Note- this Scotch led to my discovery that I do like Scotch, just not heavily peated Scotches like Ardbeg. Viva la Revolucion.
