Tastes

Let it breathe. Wanted to try it neat but was worried about the 55% ABV. Poured 2 fingers and let is sit for about 5 minutes. Really liked the result - smooth but with a spicy finish that makes you want the next sip, and I do mean sip, because it is 110 proof. Sweet, with a caramel maybe cream brule, or burnt sugar nose and taste. Will buy again.

This is a bourbon that I can drink with a meal. It is smooth, rich with vanilla and not too sweet. Better than the 89 Distiller score. To me it is at it's best with steak. Biggest problem - almost impossible to find.

Good sipping bourbon. Smooth and sweet, with caramel and crème brulee. It finishes quick. Was expecting a little more substance. That's not a complaint, just a little surprising. I like this whiskey.

Could not put my finger on exactly what I was tasting. It was sweet without being syrupy. Finally decided it was like bread pudding. Then it was fruity, plums and blackberry. It finished warm all the way down. That's what made me want some more. It's really expensive and really good.

I'm a scotch and Kentucky bourbon drinker so this is a departure. It's a good whiskey. Loved the nose, sweet, brown or burnt sugar. Tried it neat then with 1 ice cube. First sip was lightly bitter, with spice. Recommend with the ice cube. It's a sipping whiskey so recommend room temperature after the single cube melts. Easy to drink and really enjoyable. Kind of reminded me of TX whiskey.

This is a great bourbon at a great price that can be found anywhere. UPDATE - used to be found anywhere. A little sweet, but it has an alcohol burn that makes up for it. I will always have this in my cabinet - unless the price goes up too much.

Finally got my hands on a bottle. Smooth- no ice cube needed. This is everything you expect in a bourbon - alcohol burn, sweet caramel, crème brule, wood and good long finish that makes you ready for another taste. It was hard to find. I put it way in the back of my cabinet so I have to work to get at it. Otherwise, it'll be gone in a week.

Found the nose to be astringent. Add an ice cube a this is one smooth scotch whisky. The nose turns sweet with fruit. Goes down easy and stays with you. Can't wait for the weather to turn cold and wet.

My first Irish Whiskey. This is every bartenders' end of shift drink. Really enjoy it especially after the first one. Spicy somewhat medicinal at first but enjoyable. Perfect for Irish coffee. Will continue to drink regulalrly.

I think this is the perfect bourbon for the deer lease. Sitting around the fire at night with a good cigar, it's spicy and smoky enough to mix and will get your attention with ice but the vanilla and fruit come out. Good price too.
