Tastes

Awesome nose! Cinnamon, oak, vanilla and caramel. Palate is more of these note but it’s very thin and one dimensional. Finish is short and leaves me wanting more. This is a good easy drinking bourbon. There’s not much not to like, but there is no wow factor and no complexity. This bourbon would benefit greatly from a higher proof.

This is one complex, deep and awesome pour. Think of sweet dark purple grapes cooked in caramel sauce. The palate is thick and coating and the finish is long. I could sip on this all day. The price is pretty decent too. One of the best of 2020.

This is great juice. The nose is deep and rich and complex. The palate of rich and coating. The finish is short, which is my only knock on this bourbon. Overall, very well done!

This is easily the best Irish whiskey I’ve ever had! It’s peaches all the way and so so delicious. I can’t say enough about this juice. It’s expensive but get it!

Great pour. Very smooth, very tasty and nice finish.

This pour is complicated to say the least. Nose: Terrible. Varnish and oak. It reminds of that terrible Tim Smith Wood-fired moonshit, er shine. Palate: Better than the nose. Lots of wood and vanilla. Finish: Soft and lingering with cinnamon and vanilla. Conclusion: The finish is where this shines. I really hope this oxides nicely like the OF 1910. Otherwise, I totally wasted $80. Fuck!!

I've had several of the different recipes and I've liked some a lot more than others. Well, I just had a private selection single barrel OESV at 120.8 proof and it was AMAZING!!! It tastes like a fruity caramel with hints of vanilla. So good.............
