Tastes

It was good, Carmel, sweet, slightly oily, nice light spice, aroma was pleasant and inviting. This is good bourbon, but overrated. I find the value wasn’t there for the price.

Nose:whiffs of sweet honey and graham crackers and touch whiskey. Palate: much the same as nose, honey, graham crackers, nice touch cinnamon, light oak, and a almond creaminess at the end. The finish is surprisingly long for a sweet whiskey, it sweet and cinnamon spicy, but not too hot, just enough to let you know your still drinking whiskey, very pleasant. I’m not big flavored whiskey fan, but this good if you want a change up, but it is more sweet than whiskey flavored.

The smell is very pleasant. Taste is lots of butterscotch and carmel with a light rye spice. All though the aroma is inviting, the palate comes up light and fleeting, but at $15 a bottle you really can’t complain. The finish is short and smooth. The BIB and 114 proof are certainly better offerings but at double the price. In the end it is overall a good value for budget bourbon, just don’t expect exciting.

Truly a great scotch whiskey

Great budget scotch. Very approachable, sweet, vanilla, oaky, with a wisp of smoke, it definitely goes down smooth. It has more depth than the original, but don’t expect to be blowin’ away for $25, you get what you pay for. It’s no single malt, but gets the job done.

Carmel, vanilla, oak, and a touch of spice. A sweet, smooth, soft and approachable bourbon, but not as good as Colonel EH Taylor Small batch, but for half the cost who can complain

Ethanol and cherries on the nose. Taste is oak, more cherries, vanilla, it is very sweet up front. It’s a hot long finish line. Overall good value for the price, big step up from the EW black label.

Wow, for a 120 proof the burn is minimal. Impressive robust rich flavors of vanilla, maple, and sweet woods. Great intro to high proof whiskey.

My every day supper. Classic bourbon flavor with a rich mouth feel. A great value bourbon.
