Tastes

Cereal grain and spice on the nose. Pleasant, mildly sweet and malty, but not much complexity on the palate. Has a bit of an afterburn and leatheriness on the finish. Decent but not a home bar necessity.

Sampler from Flaviar. Solid rye, vanilla sweet and piney with a warm and woody, medium finish. Quite a bit of alcohol burn. For the price, would probably just go with michter's instead.

Nuts and corn, not too sweet. A little leather. Heat builds as you sip. Not that complex and short finish.

Nose has a cool apple and honey sweetness. Full and sweet palate, with a nice cinnamon heat. Would love to own a bottle.

Sweet honey nose, not as much sweet on the palate, but nice leathery flavors. Smooth but spicy at the same time, peppery and a little cinnamon finish. Good whiskey, but better at the price point.

Sweet, full, not too spicy. Kind of generic but solid, would be a great mixer.

Very sweet and hot. Good but not necessary to keep in the bar.

Nice sweetness and a pleasant metallic and earthy scent on the nose. Smooth warm honey and vanilla palate, a little fruit, strong tobacco finish. Nice mouthfeel. Better than some single malts I've tried and worth having a bottle in the bar, especially considering the price.

3 yr, 110.4 proof. Piney and herbal nose, sweet honey and bitter leather at the same time, dark chocolate, lots of alcohol burn. Long mellow finish. Give it time to open up. Generally prefer sweeter ryes, but this is a nice change of pace.
