Tastes

Lots of malt and cereal on the nose with citrus, honey and faint berries. The palate is thick and viscous with malt and cereal grains, a little almond and vanilla plus a hint of sherry. Finish is medium length with a little spice, chocolate and nutty notes.

Rich red wine with musty rose petals, hints of caramel and barrel spices on the nose and palate. Short spicy finish. Liked it better with a drop of water.

Neck pour. Light, sweet, soft with French vanilla, light almond, orange and musty barrel spice notes on the nose and palate. Short finish with a little heat. Liked it better with a drop of water.

Delicious with caramel, toffee and tootsie roll notes over a little rye spice.

Amazing, delectable nose with prunes, figs, black berry jam, red wine, honey, toffee, caramel, orange peel, baking spices and a hint of spearmint. The buttery, mellow palate is very balanced with none of the notes outshining any other, and I think every note from the nose is there plus some menthol and mild tobacco. The finish is medium length with smoldering spices and mint.

If you like Port, you may like this. It’s a little hot and uneven as the Port dominates the bourbon.

Nose is subtle but delightful with malt, honey, berries, peaches, citrus, light spices and peat smoke. Palate has a milky consistency and displays balance between all the notes of the nose plus almond, toffee and chocolate notes. Finish is short, a little warming and disappointing given the great notes on the palate. I can’t help but imagine how awesome this would be at a higher proof.

Somewhat unimpressive nose with light malt, almonds, citrus and peat. Malt, citrus, vanilla, toffee and peat dance lightly across the sweet, silky palate. The finish is medium length with tingly pepper on the tongue.
