Tastes

On the nose I pick up cinnamon, vanilla, and oak. It has some mellow spice. You can taste caramel and butterscotch at first and the finish is long with flavors of cinnamon and a bit of pepper. Not as rich and sweet as I was expecting.

Disappointed. The nose has a fantastic chocolate sweetness with vanilla and honey. However the taste is harsh. Was expecting something rich and sweet, but it’s dry, astringent, herby, and peppery.

Nothing much in the way of nose on this. Some notes of honey, but nothing big stands out. Taste is spicy and sweet, yet underwhelming. Not oily nor rich somewhat astringent.

The bottle obviously commands attention. The bourbon is has a sugar sweet nose. A great sipping mellow bourbon. A few drops of water opens it up more. Taste is sweet with some rye spice that finishes with a hint of marshmallow.

Thought it was just ok. Mellow and sweet with a touch of spice. Couldn’t put my finger on it, but felt like it was lacking in flavor. Didn’t care for the aftertaste. One and done for me.

Smoky. Tastes like drinking whiskey near a campfire. Good but not an every day drinker. It has some heat, but you can taste to wood, smoke, and sweetness. Worth a try, but not for a whiskey beginner.

Interesting story here. It’s distilled and aged in Kentucky for 3 years, but bottled in Scotland, then imported and distributed out of Houston. At the price it’s a solid bourbon. Sweet on the nose. I picked up vanilla and raisins. The taste to me seemed younger than it’s age, a bit harsh at first but mellows to a sweet spice. I tried it neat and it seemed to lack flavor, then added about a teaspoon of water and it mellowed it to taste the sweet spice. Good mixing bourbon too. At the price it’s worth a try.

Sweet to the nose but spicy to the tongue. Initial spice that mellows. Ok to drink neat, but better to used mixed. Tsp of water does wonders to open this up.

Blended of a high rye bourbon and single malt whiskey. Nose is sweet and fruity with hints of chocolate and vanilla. Taste starts rich and smooth and finishes with a slight dry bite. Great for sipping neat or on the rocks.
