Tastes

👃red and white grapes smashed and smeared all over a sugar cookie fresh from the oven 9/10 👄 Even more oak. Basically all I get 7/10 🏁 Gingerbread house with cherry gumdrops 9/10

👃 Strawberry pancakes with powdered sugar with a dollop of blueberry compote 6/10 👄 Much better on the palate. So easy to drink. I'm getting oranges 8/10 🏁 Fruit smoothie. Cherry, orange, some other citrus that I can't quite put my finger on 7/10

👃vanilla, oak, and a hint of cherry 7/10 👄 Smooth with some of the same cherry and citrus notes 8/10 🏁 vanilla wafers with a hint of marischino cherry 8/10

👃 Vanilla and higher proof than it is 👄 Green apple, but you have to try. Honestly nothing special and drinks hot 🏁 Really disappointed all the way through. No funky taste. Tastes like bourbon, but hot and boring for a single barrel product. Maybe I got a bad one 🤷 Even tried adding a drop of water (which it shouldn't need... Same

👃 Slightly over-ripe plum. Just a whisper and hair past perfect. Other than that, kind of a nothing burger 👄 The same flavor drifts onto the palate. In the back palate, I can find a bit of fresh baked sugar cookie 🏁 Nice jammy finish. Drinks right at that 100 proof. Doesn't blow your socks off, but it's a solid sipper

👃 Peaches, orange peel, and white grape juice 👄 Definitely some citrus notes goin on. Maybe a lil maple syrup. Drinks a little hotter than 90 proof, but still enjoyable neat 🏁 Nothing special here. Classic vanilla with a little cinnamon. Proofiness on the palate doesn't carry through

👃 Holy 🍒 bomb. Maybe burnt sugar and a faint vanilla, but 🍒 all day 👄 More classic bourbon on the palate. The faint vanilla from the nose is more pronounced here. Definitely a citrus aspect here. Maybe orange. 🏁 Very interesting citrus notes on the finish. Orange and maybe some of that cherry 🍒 from the nose. Super complex

👃 Cherry pie with whipped cream. Cantaloupe? No, it's green apple. 👄 Oily, coat your mouth goodness. Some of the same sweet fruit notes with classic bourbon and burnt sugar 🏁 Still getting 🍒 on the finish

👃 Oat, oak, almond and a strong marischino cherry. Very nice 👄 Coats your mount with a sweet oily bourbon. Lots of toasted oak 🏁 Back to the complex, yet approachable flavors from the nose. I'd have guessed < 100 proof This is one of the first bottles I ever bought that got me interested in trying different bourbons, and it's still one of the best at this price point!

👃 Butterscotch, toffee. Maybe even coffee beans. Last time I reviewed this I got grapefruit. Upon a return after reading that, I can still see it 👄 Oily. Really coats your mouth. Maybe 🍌 and some other fruit. A bit of nuttiness 🏁 Definitely unique. Banana nut bread. Some pine or oak? This one drinks much smoother than the proof would indicate. I don't love it as much as some do, but still a great sipper.
