Tastes

Well... another spirit by celebrities that more likely do not care about the craft, maybe they do, or maybe just another group trying to cash in on the market. As far as the spirit, it comes in at 40%, so this is very light (water-like). The nose shows some basic bourbon notes, althought the mash bill is unknown to me, it gives me the impression that is high Rye, with some spices (light), cloves, herbs, burn sugar. The palate is super light... I would not chance it to add water or put it on ice, as it will disolve whatever little flavor it has. The finish, as expected is short lived. FOr the average price of $40 SRP, a RR10, MM46, 1792 SB.. are more flavourful and better quality.

Disclosure... I am not a fan of Rye whiskey, but this one is OK. On the nose there's this grass, not really int, but minty aromas, maybe a slight coco (very faint in the background), herbs. In the palate spices come out to play, some tartiness, dill or pickles, and more spices, not pepper. I think the ABV helps me with this one, as if this was on the high 50s%, it would have been too hot/spicy for me. Next time I will try it with a dash of water.

The nose on this one is soft and floral, with hints of cereal. Although this is rickhouse proof, the nose is not overpowering. The palate brings cereal notes, with spices, but not as much heat as the Straight Bourbon Whiskey Rickhouse Proof. There's a little heat, but I think the sweetness of the wheat helps turn it down a bit. The finish is long, with a bit of a burn. With a little water, I get some berries (?) and cherry coke-like notes on the nose, but the palate has more cereal and nutty flavors. I think more cereal/oatmeal notes, and the finish is soft and medium. I like this one.

I had to let this one open up a little bit. Straight from the bottle, it was hot, so a little time was the right choice. The nose shows some nutty aromas, with a little cinnamon and all spice. I am trying this one neat, so the palate gave me something like almond dust, cinnamon and pepper. The finish was long with more heat. I put a little water and the heat went away, and more nutty/sawdust notes on the nose and a little sweetness and less pepper on the palate. Nice.

The nose is very aromatic but more candy-like than cinnamon/allspice. The palate was sweet, not too spicy, and there was no pepper, but a very light, nutty flavor in the background came in at the end. The finish is medium to light, with no burn and no aftertaste. Overall, this was a very pleasant drink. At 50% ABV, this is right in my preferred range.

The nose is very pleasant. A little of all spice or maybe cinamom, and brown or burn sugar. For these notes are what i consider traditional bourbon notes. The palate brings forward thise spices and oak, tart notes with a medium finish. For me this is a ok boirbon that can be enjoyed neat or with a cube of ice.
