Tastes

Cask 21-04. Very spicy and sweet up front. Long flavor after and warm but smooth. Good slow sip. Not much burn for the high proof. Could use a little more fruity twist but overall it’s a great bottle for $35-ish. Welcome to the rotation.

Excellent vanilla scent and right up front. Very sweet and oak flavor. A little bit of water opens this up and gives it a great long flavor. My go to scotch for a reason; each bottle is different but always has a great flavor. Sweet vanilla smoke.

Excellent. Sweet and smooth, little bit of cherry and honey after the sip ends. Thick consistency that works. Cherry pie smell up front. Long flavor. This is a very nice bottle for the price and great for sipping.

Smooth. Light flavor. Nothing special or amazing but it was solid in a mint julep and good straight up. Dark cherry on the nose, pretty sweet with honey. It’s a solid $25 bottle.

Solid bourbon. Smooth, light, and mildly sweet. Great for a mint julep.

Smooth. Has a nice light taste that lingers. Not one noticeable flavor, but a mix of honey and cherry. Could use a stronger sweeter taste, but nothing wrong with this.

Very sweet. Smooth taste definitely lingers after a sip is gone. A great summer whiskey. No ice or water necessary.
