Tastes

Kind of get some tobacco on the nose, spice, and ethanol. The pallet is good and spicy. Finishes warm with more spice. Can tell it’s younger but it’s fine. This is pretty good to very good. Might be rating it higher because of the name, but I’m not mad at the purchase.

Caveat….I love finished ryes. This is no exception. Super complex & sweet. I get a ton on the nose. So much apricot on both the nose and pallet. Then I get the spice, and it is welcomed. I absolutely love this one. Top 3 for me.

Why do so many people hate on this? They hate us cuz they ain’t us. :). Thought this was delicious. Very sweet. I get a lot of rye, oak, caramel. I’ve heard through the grapevine a little salt, but i didn’t get that. Anyway I really like it.

Get a lot of rye on the nose, cinnamon as well. Just smells like a bourbon. I’m getting rye and cinnamon on the pallet, and it finishes nicely with a nice oaky leather. Very solid bourbon.

This is a lot better than I remember it. First off I thought it was just a mixer, but the more I drink it - I realize it is more than that. It is a really solid sipper. Nose: Rye spice Pallet: very sweet up front. Cherries and rye Finish: I get a ton of oak on the finish. And rye. Overall this is good. I am pleasantly surprised, and a bit disappointed I didn’t enjoy this at first.

Honestly thinking this might be my go to everyday bourbon. So much flavor for a 90 proof. Nose: brown sugar, oak, and vanilla Pallet: oak, leather tobacco, yet sweet. Totally get the vanilla and maybe a little caramel. Finish: finishes like a higher proof. Definitely due to the age. A ton of oak and tobacco here.

This is solid. A bit thin on the finish, but overall nice. The pallet is very sweet. Nose is also a bit light.

I love this. The nose is very vanilla and oak, and that’s exactly what I get when I taste it. It’s a little hot but not for its proof. Very easy to drink. Tried this blind with Russel’s reserve single barrel, Remus cask strength, and a makers limited and this won.

I was a little disappointed, but then I remembered how much (or little I paid for it) and immediately loved it. It is a solid easy sipping bourbon. Traditional bourbon flavor. Drinks hotter than the proof. Excellent finish.

This is a solid bourbon. Will definitely keep a bottle in the collection. Very sweet, excellent sipper.
