Tastes

The perfect accompaniment to the end of JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVAL with friends. Love the spice and vanilla. Not too complex but inherently sippable til next you know 2/3 the bottle is gone. Nicely smooth but still showing that bit'a kick a Kentucky bourbon's gotta have.

Neat. Sweet sweet up front, slow slow burn on the end. (Annoyed it won't let me save without a rating because I'm not sure yet what I think.)

Works for picklebacks. Works for spiked apple cider. Yet to try for anything else.

Great as a cheap yet decent mixer; nothing too iodine, peat, or smoke about it; booze punches through coffee (and a white russian thanks v much) just fine; enough sweetness you don't need simple syrup; can drink straight in a pinch.

Flan, baking spices, a long slow heat, and vanilla, all alternating in domination as the taste goes on. Really vibing this, keen to try it rested or with a couple water drops. A little too much menthol follows the heat or I'd have this a mid-four stars.

Those tasting notes (sweet vanilla honey, grass and a little fruitiness and lemon, then peat and a waft of smoke) are bang on.

(Straight) Sweet apple vanilla pie and then woodsy grain alcohol. Very soft burn on the end. Not complex, but delish.

[Rested 40 minutes] spicier and fruitier; doesn't lose the sweetness and vanilla but does have more clarity in cinnamon-pear and sultana notes than the straight up version. Also a little more burn, but I'm OK with that for the increase in complexity. Still not something I'd keep coming back to, but at least I know this is the way I want to drink it.
