Tastes

👃 this is different 🤔 chocolate chips. Maybe even an oreo. Lil bit of caramel 👄 less interesting than the 👃 hay. It kinda tastes like sweet hay 🏁 kind of a combination between the nose and pallate. Chocolate covered hay/wheat 😁

Nose - Exactly what you'd expect. Sweet oaky goodness. Pineapple? Palate - Not as exciting as I'd hoped. Spicier than I'd hope. It tastes good, but is hot and really lingers on the palate Finish - More of the same. Really didn't expect it to drink this hot. Good flavor, but especially considering price, I'll take Woodford Double Oaked or OF 1910

👃 cherries. Sweet ripe apples. 👄 You ever heard that john mayor song about banana pancakes? Ya. This. 🏁 cinnamon. Just smooth oak. This is better than ECTB.

👃 Nothing crazy. Obviously low proof 👄 Sweet vanilla oak bomb. Chuggable 🏁 Maybe add cherry to the palate notes, but more of the same My notes seem like I was very unimpressed, but this is great whiskey. Exactly what you'd expect from a low proof double barelled whiskey, but no unique notes.

Happy to drink this all day, but nothing to get excited about. Probably better bottles for the price. 👃 I'm pretty congested, but still getting the heat here. Maybe blueberries? 👅 114 proof for sure, but smooth enough to swish around a bit neat. Interesting undertones. Mango? It tastes like brown. Idk what that means either. 🏁 Vanilla with a sorta young oak. Definitely some trees

This is exactly what you'd expect from Buffalo Trace ( which is technically owned by Sazerac). This is to rye whiskey what buffalo trace is to bourbon. No crazy flavors, but good enough to sip on neat.

Its excellent rye whiskey. The flavor you can't figure out in there is absinthe. It actually works really well.

Almonds and peach pie. Even cinnamon. But not one I DEFINITELY need to keep on the shelf. Lots of great bottles at this price point

👃 Cherry bomb 👄 Very nice. I wanted to try a Calumet product before I splurged on the older products. Now Im going to have to splurge on the older ones. This is great and still affordable. 🏁 Probably not as great as the palate, but its long and still nice.

Doing this review from my computer instead of phone, but had to stick to the format you've all grown to know and love. [Nose emoji] IDK if it's just the fact that I just learned that this product is a mixture of 8 and 12 year old whiskey (much older than I'd expect from an entry level product), but this smells pretty oaky. A little sugar cookie here as well. Low proof. [Mouth emoji] Really enjoyable. The low proof allows you to swish it around and really explore the flavors in different parts of your mouth. Although it is a little pricier than other entry level bourbons, this might be the very best. Might need to do a side-by-side with Buffalo Trace (even though BT is maybe a few dollars less expensive). Vanilla infused syrup poured over freshly made pancakes. [Finish emoji] More of the same. Just classic, traditional bourbon with no weird funk. Not going to blow you away with any super creative flavors, but for this price, this is a nearly perfect daily drinker.
