Tastes

Nose is nice and sweet with brown sugar, vanilla, and citrus. Taste is a different story. Heavy char up front followed by corn dust then with late sugars and baking spice in finish. Kind of a 2-3 note drink. Not complex enough for me.

Vanilla, corn, and ripe fruit on the nose. Smooth creamy vanilla upfront with a little clove. Mouth finish is extremely pleasant with light baking spice and creamy sugars. Great sipper and highly recommend neat.

Cinnamon, vanilla, and dark fruit on the nose. Mild spice throughout, char and vanilla upfront followed by a fast finish of burnt sugars. The mouth coat holds with the oak char and vanilla present at the end. Not overly complex but pleasant. Just a fyi, the bottle need air for a while otherwise you will get tons of ethanol throughout.

Ripe apple on the nose. Almost empty upfront of anything. Very smooth mid and finish with the same ripe apple and mild barrel spice. Easy drinker but not very complex. Great for those just beginning on burbon.

Creamy vanilla and strong ethanol on the nose. Lots of spice up front. Char and sugar heavy on mid and a creamy caramel smooth finish. Adding a little water calms the spice but not the sweet smoothness. Very nice after water or ice with fantastic mouth coat. Gets better with each sip.

Very nutty like heavy roasted peanuts and vanilla nose with a hint of ethanol. Carmel first thing then strong ethanol on the tongue with lots barrel char and tons of spice on the mid. Finishes with more ethanol. Lots of rye spices. Little water helps level it but still too much spice for me.

Sweet fruit or raisin and vanilla on the nose. Brown sugar and barrel char up front followed by baking spices. A pleasant lingering mouth burn and spice finish. For a rye more sweet than spicy.

Nose: strong vanilla, nutty, and ethanol. Taste up front creamy brown sugar, then vanilla with baking spices followed by oak char. Good mouth coat and finishes with heavy char almost dry nutty on the tongue. Very typical burbon notes but a little heavy on the alcohol burn being only 100 proof.

Vanilla and ripe apples on the nose. Baking spice upfront then a creamy vanilla and caramel note on the mid. Excellent for the price and always available in Michigan.

Perfect mixer for the price. Finishes very fast. Not complex enough and and too much ethanol for drinking neat.
