Tastes

Nose: very strong Sherry cask influence with forward grape/wine aroma. Sweet and fruity with hints of apricot lingering. Mild oak aromas on a deeper sniff. Palate: Strong initial spice and alcohol taste. Sweetness opens up after with dark chocolate notes and sugary oak. The taste finishes with some tobacco and a dark grape note Finish: Thick finish with licorice lingering flavor. Tannins dominate the finish with a bitter/thick/furry feel. Overall the nose is excellent with the taste less forward sweet than the nose might suggest. The extreme tannin finish is a major downside to this in my opinion

Nose: Grassy with sweet caramel and butterscotch undertones. Underlying oak hints Body: Sweet apricot and cherry with floral notes. Some complex tobacco and darker notes as you keep drinking Finish: some tannins with oak finish.

Nose: Strong honey flavors with smaller notes of burnt caramel and cherry. Layered notes of dark oak and leather. Palate: Light notes of sweetness but rich with fruit and cherry. A great amount of oak and a bit of vanilla. Initial hit of spice followed by the smoothness. Finish: A thick finish and lingering mouthfeel. Large amounts of slightly sweet and bitter oak feel that last for a long time. Tannins are pretty prevalent after a long while. Overall the taste and smell of this bourbon is delightful. I would have expected the bourbon to be sweeter but the complex wood notes and long finish make this a wonderful high proof dram.

Nose: Very vanilla with hints of Sherry oak and caramel Palate: Light floral flavor with bitter oak. Hints of sweetness and honey. Light spiciness. Finish: Light finish with slight oiliness

Nose: Very sweet and crisp smell. Strong notes of flowers and honey. Lingering pleasant oak smell as well Palate: Very smooth first taste with instant waves of apple, honey, and vanilla. Sweet cookie and hint of oak to finish the tongue. Finish: Very light finish a lingering sweet oak and vanilla notes. Slight thickness at the very end. Overall, an excellent dram with great drinkability. The sweet profile goes well with dessert! Not overly complex but very enjoyable.

Nose: Strong notes of Sherry and oak. A hint cherry and other fruit Palate: Smooth on the tongue with pleasant wood flavor and sweet cherry and apricot notes. A dark wood + sweet flavor. Finish: Relatively short finish with slightly lingering oak notes. Great smooth pour that is pleasant to sip on

Nose: Strong honey and fruit notes. A very clean and light floral waft with grassy undertones. Palate: Light touch of sweetness with flowery undertones. Wooden/charred touch with peppery and other darker depth flavors. A touch of saltiness and spice. Finish: Pleasant sweet wooden flavors with a slightly grassy/oily linger. Overall a pleasant dram with good depth of flavors. Fairly smooth for a high alcohol content.

Nose: Mellow honey notes with strong oak. Hints of caramel and very present rum smell. Very pleasant and not strong of alcohol Palate: First taste is strong honey and sweetness. Flavor then evolves into oaky wood notes with some cinnamon. Just a hint of smokiness. Last taste is a pleasant rum right before the finish. Finish: Slight lingering rum and light smoke. Somewhat thick feeling and has a staying oak sweetness and nutty fruit profile (can't pinpoint this familiar flavor at the moment...) Overall very pleasant dram that is both smooth, sweet, and complex flavor profile!

Nose: Wooden notes with some cinnamon. Hints of wine from barrels but very light. Palate: Clean sweet flavor with floral and honey hints. Slight grassy flavors. Finish: Light finish with slight thick feel. Hints of oak on the mouth. Not very offensive and an easy clean drink with no strong alcohol tastes. Smooth, but not very complex. Great everyday budget drinker.

Nose: Strong vanilla and caramel scents. Slight grass and the sherry cask pokes it's way in at the very end. Palate: Very sweet start with vanilla, caramel, and floral flavors. Slight hints of nuts and cranberries. Sherry hits strong. Very smooth along the mount. Finish: Not very oily and light thickness. Pleasant feel in the mouth.
