Tastes

Caramel, toffee, and butterscotch on the nose. Taste comes in with caramel and a bit of spice and butter. Finish moves into a bit of heat but solid bourbon.

Definitely a grassy rye on the nose with a bit of sweetness. Rye comes in strong on the taste and moves in to a little spice and sweetness towards the finish. Decent rye but nothing overly stands out.

Standard caramel and oak nose. Taste comes in with mild spice, caramel, and vanilla. Sweet and medium thick mouth feel. Goes down smooth and decent finish. Solid all around bourbon.

Caramel, vanilla, and apple on the nose. Taste comes in slightly sweet and buttery. Hint of apple and caramel are most notable. Slight woody side notes that are a little different. Thick mouth feel and quite smooth into an easy finish that lingers nicely. I enjoy it.

Little less sweet than the black or gold and more muted flavors but makes up for it in smoothness and a hint more peat to the finish. Very enjoyable.

Slightly smoother and more refined than the black but not substantially so for me.

Caramel with strong spice on the nose and some rye. Spice comes in on the taste but not overpowering like the barrel proof. Also some caramel and tobacco notes. Finish has some spice to it and a little heat.

Oily, caramel, butter, toffee, oak. Standard nose. Smooth, sweet and buttery with some vanilla on the taste and rolls into a nice mild spice that lingers for the finish and clings to your mouth. Very enjoyable.

Standard nose, caramel, oak, butterscotch but with a little rye to it. Taste comes in buttery with caramel moving into rye and spice. Medium thickness mouth feel and moderate heat towards the finish that lingers nicely, smoother than the 108 proof 4 year would suggest. Solid bourbon.

Nose of banana, caramel and vanilla. Taste is sweet with vanilla, maybe some citrus, and a little banana. It’s a lighter bourbon and impressively smooth and balanced for 100 proof. Finish doesn’t linger quite as long as some but it’s excellent.
