Tastes

Ya that's a lot of tags but this is a pretty decent, complex pour. A little too oaky, and that increases as you drink. Makes a great transition whisky when going to/from Scotch and Bourbon, but there are others i like better. Won't be a staple in my collection but will be an occasional bottle when I'm feeling oaky.

Nice initially but turns a bit erhanol forward and finishes medium-short and a bit bitter. Tastes 10yrs younger than 15. Decent, but wont be making it back into my collection any time soon.

Grain forward lightly aged Barley moonshine, basically. Grainy, musty and full flavored with a lightly bitter medium finish. If you go in expecting that, its a 4.5 star whisky. If you're expecting a Scotch it's a 1 star. This doesn't make my "keep on hand" list, but is a decent variety choice when I'm in the mood for something different.

Tried batch 116 and was very disappointed. Way too alcohol forward. I've had regular Still Austin and the regular cask strength and liked both. Not this one. Alcohol flavor is dominant with the flavors and nose somewhere under the back seat. I still like this brand, just not this one. I've had 118 proof whiskeys hide the alcohol way better than this one.

Full flavored and sweet but a bitter finsh. Likely won't buy again.

Lightly smoked marshmallows in a glass, on the nose and palette. Different in a pleasant way. Would go great with a light Connecticut cigar.

Tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Not spicy cinnamon, but a sweet cinnamon. Good as something different, but not for me.

Moonshine for people who don't know what moonshine is. Smells and tastes like sugar water with some alcohol and corn syrup. Way too sweet.
