Tastes

Color: nice honey gold, oily slow running legs Nose: typical bourbon nose, alcohol, honey, vanilla, maple syrup, sweet corn and some oak. This has a sweet comforting nose. Palate: medium bodied, arrival is slow, peppery, cinnamon, maple. Finish: medium to long, very pleasant pepper and lasting sweet and toffee finish. This is better than Gentleman Jack. A mid range bourbon worth having.

Nose of sweet malt, citrus, lemon, orange, spice. Sweet taste, smooth mouth feel, dark fruit, light peat, spicy. Medium sweet finish.

Mild Sweet peach on the nose. I found it harsh on the pallate, with a bitter finish. Very young bourbon. hope the 101 is better.

Nose: vanilla, caramel, ripe stewed apple, oak wood, some spice, freshly ground black pepper. Taste: sweet entry, spicy, thick syrupy mouthfeel, maple syrup Finish: licorice note, bitter sweet, caramel and vanilla, medium long, turning dry and nutty. This is a decent sipping bourbon. Nothing special or out of the ordinary though. Kind of generic. 4RSmB is more interesting.

Just had this neat at a bar. Nose is weak corn and caramel. Some spices in the background. Taste is weak, with caramel, not as bad tasting as I thought it would be. Finish is peppery, and extremely short, almost non-existent. This is a good benchmark to judge all other bourbons by.

Color: gold, medium running legs Nose: briny sweet malt, brine is dominant, hints of pineapple and grapefruit and honey. Taste: medium arrival, oily buttery feel, medium bodied, cinnamon, pepper, slightly bitter but not unpleasant. Finish: medium length, peppery, sweet. Conclusion: good winter sipping whisky. Would I buy it again? No, not because it's not good, but because I would like to try something new.

Color: nice pale gold, with thin fast falling legs Nose: sweet pineapple malt, honey, vanilla in the background, strong glue/charcoal note Taste: sweet caramel, medium bodied, mildly syrupy, bitter arrival, dry, pepper. Finish: short, bitter, mildly peppery
