Tastes

N:nice oak upfront mildly tabnic, cherry cola, Charr or black tea, some of the herbal and baking spice like nutmeg is there on the back P: wood spice, black cherry and ethanol upfront, spice rises then sweetness like confectioners sugars on the end, medium/heavy viscosity F: long, combination of the drier wood spice sweetness linger This is not my favorite batch of stj, the wood note is a little drying and sharper imo and the sweetness is more sugary and one note where other batches are more cohesive to my palate, that said- it's still great

N: maple syrup, oak, corn P: maple and oak are prominent, mild corn dustiness is there but held at Bay, buttered corn bread, some leather, very oily F: back to the maple/pecan pie filling, wood but not overly tannic Far and away the best GB I've had, but the price is still too high

Nose: butterscotch, vanilla icing, lemon Palate: follows the nose, a little spice but nothing out of bounds, thin Finish: smooth and easy, not long Really nice flavor for such a light proof, seems to be the michters specialty, this is an easy sipper that reminds me of glenfarclas, it's a combination of scotch and bourbon to me, not very complex but enjoyable

N: prominent sweetness and fruit, orange peel, grape/wine twinge T: matches the nose, sweetness up front, not sugary more sweet fruit, spice at the back, mildly tannic, a little younger oak F: moderate finish, spice lingers, not a ton of complexity, medium viscosity not super oily or coating Pretty balanced, but a little more age would help the bourbon stand out I think, the armanagac is more prominent here to me with just some spice

N: Carmel, dry oak, honey, weak mint, light vanilla cream P: light-medium viscosity, mild sweetness Carmel, little vanilla and cinnamon, dough F: fades softly, mild cinnamon lingers This is nice, but nothing special imo, it’s “smooth” but not very complex and kind of sleepy, an easy sipper but nothing out of this world

This thing is loud and hot. Had the bottle open 6 months and still it’s punchy. One of the thickest and oiliest bourbons I’ve had N: distinct balcones crème brûlée or peanut brittle, nuttiness P: even proofed down with water alcohol hits first, some dark chocolate and corn, some of the Texas dustiness F: alcohol, dry oak, grilled fruit Nice flavors, super dark but so hot, not often you say some some 130 proof drinks over proof but this one does

N: lemon peel; grapefruit, black tea; tart cherry, tannic oak, pine and cut grass, unusual nose T: tart cherry and dry leaves, citrus, rye bread, graham cracker F: good richness and mouthfeel for a light abv, but flavor never builds to anything substantial, finish ends dry, not my favorite michters

N: strong vanilla, strong ethanol, very light red fruit, no wood P: waves of vanilla, mild oak arrives and fades quickly long alcohol burn without flavor O: this whiskey irritated me, it mgp distilled but they don't mention that on the label, you can find almost no specifics on this on their website, this was just undone by the amount of alcohol that remained on the nose and it covered the finish, even after being opened for months, I like high abv for the richness and full flavor and this had neither, disappointing

N:new oak, sour cherry/ raisins - prominent sourness, green apples, Carmel candy, menthol or anise, a lighter herbal quality such as mint chocolate or basil even, lemon P: initially caramel and the sour fruit followed quickly by dry oak - the dryness lingers with cinnamon spice or and apple cider vinegar O: Interesting flavors, good complexity especially for how young it is, a little uneven on the palate and a bit too fresh on the oak and too dry on the back end, could be very nice to see this older and more calmed down

N:cherry jolly ranchers; vanilla extract; charred oak, orange peel, cinnamon and camerlized brown sugar or toffee P: matches the nose; sweet cherry first into spice and and punch at the end that finishes with lingering sweetness O: drinks under proof, rich but not too hot, good on its own - great for the price
