Tastes

Nose: grass, and apple, citrus on the backend Taste: caramel, butterscotch Finish: perfect balance of heat and pepper. Long finish No bitters available for old fashioned

Nose: burly frontier style, oak and chocolate followed by rosemary and thyme Taste: spicy and full of char, opens into rye and dull with chocolate on the backend. Ends sweet with caramel Finish: dry and sweet, caramel and fortune cookie Old fashioned: sweet and spicy lends well to old fashioned. The bitters cut through with the spice and make a quality drink

Nose: oily, grassy and a little orange Taste: apple, baking spice, oak Finish: light burn, grassy finish Old fashioned: the rye carries though but the lower proof leaves a little to be desired

Nose: caramel that gives way to spice, corn and wood Taste: caramel up front leading into vanilla. Spice and some dark fruit Finish medium in length, sweet and woody Old fashioned: not enough bite and body. Sweet but weak

Nose: cereal, apples and honey Taste: cereal, oats and honey. Finish: smooth and some oak Papa Jimmy's old whisky. Not a bad sipping scotch but its very tame

Nose: caramel, vanilla, rye spice Taste: spicy rye and sweet vanilla. A thick bourbon. Finish: medium finish. Starts with spice and moves into sweet. Old fashioned: spice holds up well to the sweetness. A very good old fashioned.

Nose: buttery and lots of caramel. Little vanilla Taste: thin but sweet, a little oakey with the perfect amount of burn Finish: sweet finish with smoke on the on the back of the tongue. Slightly hot finish, the way I like it Old fashioned: the sweetness amplifies the sugar and orange, and the burn provides the bite that rounds it out. Good old fashioned.

Nose: caramel, cinnamon, cloves, molasses Taste: nice rye spice, some molasses on the back of the tongue, and black pepper Finish: honey sweet with a slight burn on the tongue, finishes smooth Old fashioned: the spice of the rye lends itself perfectly to an old fashioned. Very good
