Tastes

I could go on and on about this pour. Butterscotch bomb!! Heavy Caramel and vanilla nose. Creme brûlée and toffee on the palate. Long delicious finish. It leaves your whole mouth tasting good. 4.5/5 an absolute hitter

Nose: vanilla, brown sugar, light tobacco note Palate: tobacco, caramel, barrel spice and oak Finish: long and lingers on the tongue. I don’t get a lot of chest Kentucky hug on this. Most mouth. Overall: this is as solid a single barrel as I’ve had. Also for the record I’m a turkey ***** so I’m not surprised I like this so much. This is a high quality pour.

This is a Barrel bourbon private select blend# C14C bottle #188. It’s a blend of 5yr, 7yr, 10yr and 17 yr whiskey. Nose: orange zest, Caramel and brown sugar Palate: vanilla, tobacco, hint of orange peel, lost of barrel spice. She’s a spicy girl. Finish: long lingering Kentucky huh deep in the chest. This is a cold night low fire whiskey. That linger is serious. Spicy!!!! Overall: 4/5 stars. Had the sweetness upfront and then it’s a bull ride of a finish. This is one of those pours where you know your Fri king serious whiskey.

Nose: oak and brown sugar Palate: taste a bit young but that’s not bad in this case. I get oak and vanilla and some tobacco. It’s solid. Finish: at 104 proof it had a bit of a hug. It linger on your tongue rather than that deep chest hug love that you get from higher proofs. Overall: it’s a solid pour. For me it’s not as good as their batch 6 cask strength or their Texas select toasted barrel. This is a solid pour. 3.6/5 stars. Glad I found a bottle.

Nose: caramel, vanilla, brown sugar. Smells like a Werther‘s candy. So much butterscotch 👏🏿👏🏿 Palate: Caramel, vanilla and peanut. Taste like that candy part of the peanut brittle. This is delicious. Finish: at 135.22 proof it has this long Kentucky hug. Overall: my bottle is a someone say whiskey bourbon club pick. 4.5/5 this is amazing.

Nose: vanilla, caramel, brown sugar Palate: ryes spices, tobacco, vanilla caramel hard candy. This is soft in the palate and has a rye bite on the end. Subtle sweet and spicy. It’s delicious. Finish: long Kentucky hug. Overall: this is a great pour. Empire liquor Texas store pick. I’ve never had Rossville before but this single barrel is something special.

Nose: brown sugar and vanilla with a bit of ethanol. Palate: tobacco, vanilla caramel Finish: it’s 107 proof but drinks like 90 so it’s “smooth” as some would say. The finish doesn’t linger. Short Kentucky hug. Overall this is delicious and a solid pour.

Nose: tobacco, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla and leather Palate: tobacco, oak, a bit of orange zest. This is delightful and delicious Finish: lingers a bit. For the proof it’s really an easy sipper. Overall: this is deep complex and delicious. 4.5/5 stars. It contains sweet notes round off with oak and tobacco. It’s like yesteryear in a glass. 👏🏿👏🏿 bravo

Nose: weather original candy all day long. Palate: Caramel, brown sugar, leather and tobacco. Finish: 125 proof. Has a bit of a lingering hug. Overall: listen for 21 dollars your getting complexity and really good pour. That easily a 4/5 in my book. Love this expression. I was lucky enough to get the entire vertical series.

Nose: off a fresh crack I got a very muted profile. I let it sit and just got brown sugar. Palate: this is where this dram shines. Tobacco, leather, vanilla and cinnamon candy shell. It’s 58.7 proof and drinks like 90 proof. Outstanding Finish: slight Kentucky hug. Lingers shortly and then it’s gone. Overall: my bottle is a liquor king DFW store pick. So it’s more than likely a bit tastier. I’m very happy with this expression.
