Tastes

Nose is muted oak, sweet. Taste comes in smooth and slightly sweet, I notice the wheat flavor but it’s well balanced and towards the middle some spice comes in. It has a decent finish and is solid all the way through.

Nose is soft and muted, sweet and pleasant. Taste is sweet, citrusy with some oak. Theres a little tang and spice in the middle, maybe slightly hot for 90 proof but not too bad. Finish is short but pleasant. Definitely worth having on hand if you get it at a reasonable price.

Very reminiscent of Blantons to me. Nose has citrus, mostly orange, with some vanilla, caramel and oak. Light and refreshing. Taste comes in refreshing as well, sweet with orange on it but moves into some spice and oak. Finish is on the shorter side but very enjoyable.

Nose: definite rye notes, sweet, toffee, vanilla, caramel Taste: comes in sweet and smooth. Very balanced, definite rye notes, pine and toffee. Finish is short but pleasant. It’s very balanced between the rye and sweet flavors. Enjoying it a lot, looking to taste again.

Wheated adds to this taste, the barrel proof was definitely hot but the flavors are nice and enjoyable.

Nose is herbal and fruity with some rye notes. Taste comes in strongly of rye, I wouldn’t have thought there was bourbon in this mix with how strong the rye is. It’s sweet and fruity with some maple notes along with the rye. There are some slices to it as well, maybe some cinnamon. The finish is medium length. It’s good but the maple rye flavor is a little out of balance for me.

Floral, toffee, caramel and vanilla nose. Comes in very smooth, creamy and sweet. I can definitely taste the wheat which isn’t overpowering and is nicely balanced by the sweetness. It’s quite unique and I really like the flavors this mash bill produced. It’s got a nice thick mouthfeel and medium finish. Very enjoyable overall.

Not a bad rye but nothing stand out about it.

Very interesting blend. Rich flavors, definitely notice the wheat notes, a little bit of pine, and some sweetness to it but a lot of spice too. Drinks slightly hot but very enjoyable.

Very smoky and peaty as Laphroaig is, but not harsh like the standard 10 year is for me. Burnt popcorn is what this tastes like with some smoke thrown in. You get a bit of the port and wine towards the middle but it’s a very subtle addition for me. It’s a stand out dram if you want that “in your face” smoke but in a balanced and tasty way.
