Tastes

It’s a really stinkin good aged BP MGP rye. If you know the palette you’ll like it. Thick velvety spicy and herbaceous. Really nice, incredible packing. Beats out Eagle Rare as my favorite bottle 🇺🇸 (for presentation If the wording wasn’t obvious enough)

Nose is INCREDIBLE. Wow. Pure thick maple candied bacon. Tobacco as well. Palette punches immediately with spice and barrel, fades away into DELICIOUS s’mores. Burnt marshmallow with chocolate. Nice pleasant fade away rhat sits with you. Don’t think I enjoy the first part of the palette but 2/3 of it is utterly sublime.

France 44 pick. $54 for 56% and bomb flavor profile.

Really solid. $30 for 1L, awesome deal. Rye notes at 51% rye and 37% corn are about what you would expect, they exist but are muted. Lots of caramel. Palette is spiced warm apple alllll day. Finish isn’t the cleanest but for a value bottle it’s expected. Good sipper, great value. Better then the bourbon 101 #hottake

Jesus it’s good. Holy shit. First BTAC experience hits. Great pour for my birthday. Pure explosion of flavor, the mouth sensation is wild.

First ECBP, about $60 in South Oregon. What a splendid product, very very oily and rich. Vanilla and apple sweetness. Caramel apple crisp with some spice. Mild oak and tobacco mid palette. Stays around for a delightful hug in the back, astonishing lack of astringency and warm spice. One of the very best I’ve had, absolute crazy deal at the price I paid. Saving the rest for my wedding if I can’t find a replacement in time.

Hey not bad! Proof is perfect for it and the drink is crisp. Sweetness with less spice then I was expecting snd minimal astringency. A good dram at msrp.

Cinnamon, oak, vanilla, how boring for notes but it’s not anything crazy. Thin mouthfeel, not getting the spike or hot that others are mentioning but wouldn’t say it’s balanced by any means. Fairly bitter. It’s def lower then 1910 and I’d say on par with Woodford DO if not a step below. Rough at $45 thooooooo

Very pleasant first experience, one of those dreams I should have had ages ago. Very sweet and fruity, nice subtle spice comes in later. Lovely apple and honey, reminiscent of some entry level single malts, which I mean in the nicest way! Very nice

Retaste 5 years later: It’s pretty… okay honestly. It’s bourbon! It’s good, but it’s playing pretty safe. It’s sweet with some oak. Some BT rye spice, some slight mint. Again, it’s bourbon. God people don’t pay anything but MSRP.
