Tastes

Really decent. There’s an accentuated flavor that I associate with corn as a grain in whiskey, not like corn on the cob if that makes sense. I could be wrong about the description, but that flavor is one that I get with more younger whiskeys. All in all, a decent bourbon. I think it noses a lot better than it tastes. But still pretty good.

Pretty good for a wheated bourbon. It doesn’t have too much depth but it’s pleasant. Weller special reserve is definitely better for about the same price (if you can find it) in this category.

Ok, I have been trying to put my finger on the classic JD profile and after finally reading some review, it’s totally Bananna! On the nose you get a ton of smokey banana. The palate has more very sweet banana and then strangely getting peanut butter on the finish. Definitely better than No. 7, but not doing very much for me.

Sweet and fairly smooth. Not much to it, tastes like a generic whiskey.

Only have it a 3 because of the smoothness. Other than that, not much too it other than a very pronounced nutty flavor.

Getting some sweetness on the nose. But really getting a lot of shoe leather/peatiness? Which is totally the opposite of what other are saying about the nose. The palate then becomes sweet and welcoming. Dark Cherries and then a good bite at the end.

Nose is slightly Smokey with green apple Palate has slight sweetness and coating followed by smokiness and light fruit flavor and good bite. Overall really good, and somewhat of a sleeper it seems like.

Sweet oaky nose, with brown sugar Palate is pleasant with a little burn on the end. Not super deep, but a good whiskey.

Really good for the price. It has a solid bourbon profile. Its similar to Eagle Rare (did them side by side) but not as smooth or deep as Eagle Rare, at least the bottle I tried.

Similar profile to Eagle Rare (same mash bill, distillery etc), but way more ethanol vapors. That is true on the nose and the finish, ouch. It really covers up the subtle aromas that are present. I tasted this along side Eagle Rare, just to do a direct comparison. I hate to say it, because I paid top $ for both of these bottles, but I like Eagle Rare a lot more. It’s way smoother and the lack of ethanol vapors allows its flavors and aromas to come through.
