Tastes

Color: amber Aroma: fig and rye abound, some clove Taste: decent flavor on the front, mostly black pepper, rye, and cocoa. Hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Finish: more like baking spices, but not sweet ones. Short finish with a bit of heat.

Color: light copper Aroma: barrel char Taste: oily and warm but not hot, it’s mellow for a BiB, a bit of warm baking spices follow and then build the longer you swish it around. Finish: medium and similar to the flavor profile of the front end. Totally sippable! Smooth factor: A-

Color: copper Aroma: light notes of cherry, vanilla, red fruit, and oak. Taste: initially warm and coats the mouth. Then it adds cherry vanilla coke and the proof makes it warm and cinnamon flavored. Finish: medium-long, a bit of heat and baking spices. Smooth factor: B-

Color: copper Aroma: floral, fruity oakiness with hints of vanilla and sweet bread. Taste: bread pudding and brown butter with no burn. Then a warm cinnamon lingers on the palate. Finish: nice and strong, continuation of the palate. Smooth factor: A-

Color: light copper Aroma: classic bourbon toasted oak, vanillas, and caramels Taste: it quickly builds with charred nutty sweetness and then astringent on the back of the palate. The heat moves up AND down and leaves a tingle in its wake. Finish: medium and fiery. Smooth factor: C+

Color: rust Aroma: corn forward with some malt and floral sweetness that leads into slight cabernet scents Taste: pop! there is a warm sweet corn hit but then it mellows into a cream corn and sweet vanilla cream flavor. Finish: though the cask strength hasn’t shown up yet, it makes itself known on the finish. If drinking neat, it screams of cinnamon spicy heat. Adding a bit of water opens up the sweetness and chills the heat a little buy does not destroy the flavor profile. And at 64.7% ABV, a little water can’t hurt, amirite. Smooth factor: lol

Color: copper Aroma: spicy, multi-grain bread factory Taste: Cinnamon punches you in the tongue. While you figure that out, it coats the mouth and adds spice cake with frosting. Finish: you’d think there wouldn’t be much of a finish with as much initial flavor as there was, but there is a slow build to a finish of cinnamon and malty spice heat that lingers in a good way. What am I drinking? Smooth factor: C

Color: rust Aroma: malty sweetness and yeast. Taste: initial hit is oily and coats the mouth but isn’t overly flavorful. Then it builds, vanilla pod and unsweetened cookie dough, then boom! cinnamon coffee cake. Finish: the finish is everything with this pour since the front end makes you feel a little cheated. You get EVERYTHING on the back end and it’s delicious, spicy, sweet, and flavorful. Where 1920 is balanced spicy sweetness overall, 1910 hits big on the back end, and without the burn of big finishes. Smooth factor: A-

Color: dark gold Aroma: cherries, baking spices, and classic bourbon. Taste: initial spicy flavors spread out into gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting. Finish: the spice lingers for a sec and then it dissipates into warm cinnamon for a short amount of time. Smooth factor: C

Color: copper Aroma: vanilla, cherry, caramel, and s’mores. Taste: initial hit of peppery spice followed by sweet bread and worther's originals. Some warmth leads down the pipe and the opens to cherry-vanilla coke for a long finish. Smooth factor: C
