Tastes

Big nose with caramel, vanilla, caramel and more caramel. Much of the same on the pallet. Long sweet finish

Lots of different flavors. Nice high proof sipper.

Fairly sweet neat but a splash of water really brings the sweetness forward. Plenty of spice but not overpowering. Finish is long with burnt caramel and candy corn. Nice bourbon.

Vanilla and caramel nose. Sweet pallet. Finish starts out ok but soon turns to dry leather. Not a pleasant finish.

I really wanted to like this but ehh. Nose is very faint with light vanilla and even lighter floral. Pallet is somewhat sweet and acrid at the same time. Finish is rather dry with leather and light oak. If I blind tested this I would never believe it was wheated.

I’m usually not a fan higher rye bourbon but the sweetness here makes the spice enjoyable. Nose is nice with caramel, vanilla and light fruit. Pallet hits you with so many flavors that it’s hard to discern them all but it’s very enjoyable. The finish was a big surprise to me. It spicy but mellowed by the sweetness and it hangs around for a long time. Very enjoyable.
