Tastes

On the pour, this whiskey has a nice amber/caramel color to it. When you put the glass to the nose, you get what smells like a gentleman's bourbon. Hints of butterscotch and mustiness are primary, with the alcohol coming in too. On the tongue, this bourbon starts out almost seeming like a rye, being hot and spicy. It cools off in the middle while still displaying its 94 proof strength. The swallow is sweet, full, and bold, with the vanilla, corn, butterscotch, and other fruity notes finishing it off -- with a little extra burn on the way down.

This is a bourbon like nothing i have ever had. It has a high rye content in the mash bill, and it stands out! The nose... The palate has a decent amount of spice with the classic bourbon sweetness as a constant undertone. There is so much going on, but I cant help but think of this whiskey as clean. The flavors stay separate but complimentary. Overall, solid and unique.

Overall, a strong American single malt that brings to mind many of the lightly peated Scotches in the world. The nose is malty and nutty, preparing you for more of the same with a hint of vanilla on the mouth. The swallow is nice and smooth, leaving you with the desire for another drink.

Definitely getting a lot of vanilla in this classic bourbon. The nose is very sweet, unmistakeable for what it is. You get tastes of vanilla, corn, and some nuttiness on the swallow, different from any other whiskey I have had. Mixed into the whole process is the bite of the charred oak. Overall, a pretty decent bourbon.

Literaly tastes like burnt honey, with quite the bite to it. On the thicker side, with a bit of pepper also. Generally a clean, strong scotch.

Has a pretty fumey nose, thick body, with a juicy, fruity palate. Hint of nuttiness, full flavor, and slight peat. Tastes like a scotch, and its fairly classic.

Oily, bright, spicy, peaty, citrucy, clean, wow. One of my favorite scotch experiences yet, up there with Lagavulin 16 even. This is a necessity to have.

Unique! Bright, strong, green apple, sour fruit, so good. It burns more than usual. From Islay but nothing like what you would think. Slight peatiness on the swallow, but it is overpowered by the granny smith.

Amazing scotch, this is the standard of what I think of when I think of scotch. Spiced and sweet, light but thick, nice burn but sorta smooth. Full of blessed contradictions.
