Tastes

Honey on the nose that turns to strawberry and fruit. After sip or two tobacco and spice can be found. The palate continues the strawberry note and then mixes in some peppermint. Think kids strawberry toothpaste! The finish is nice and long with the rye spice and floral/perfume notes you'd expect from a four roses!

Vanilla bomb from start to finish! Sweet nose of vanilla cream...sweet, smooth and enjoyable palate, nothing complex or special but very easy to drink. Finish? You guessed it! Short and sweet! The finish is what you get after eating a handful of gummy bears!

Sweet oak and spice turn into spiced baked bread on the nose. Palate starts out vanilla graham crackers with sprinkled cinnamon and quickly turns to the hard root beer candies. Finish lasts longer then you'd expect but nothing memorable. Dry and tart oak tannins ride through out the finish. For a 90 proof with a screw cap the nose is good and the palate is surprisingly more complex then one would expect. The finish was the least enjoyable part of this dram for me.

This bourbon hits all the notes I love. Burnt sugars and caramel at the front of the nose, slight citrus notes after a sip or two and tobacco as you dig a little deeper. Palate has a drying and bitter chocolate and espresso note. Finish is solid, sweet char, oak with a root beer hard candy!

Sweetness on the nose. Dark fruits and sweet spice, think allspice and brown sugar. The palate is a little thin but nothing to complain about. The fruit and spice carrier over to the front of the palate. While the back of the palate start a floral, earthy mint note that start a good and surprising long dry finish. The age of this whiskey becomes apparent with the pepper, rye, oak and tannins that dominate the finish.

Robust nose of toffee & butterscotch. Cinnamon and spices can be found on the second layer of aromas. Palate has a drying chocolate and citrus profile. Finish is of decent length with a hint of tobacco.

Easy sipper! Sweet corn, vanilla and char on the nose. Nice mouth feel, creamy vanilla and root beer on the palate. charcoal and oak tannins finish out a pleasent pour.

Dark fruit can be found on the nose underneath all that char, oak and smoke. The palate starts with a dry, dark and rich kick. Think burnt sugars and graham crackers. Finish isn't super long but good, expect more char, oak and smoke.

Good nose of char, oak and burnt sugars. Brown sugar, vanilla and a soft sweetness on the palate. Orange peel and chocolate start a long and enjoyable finish of char/peanut/oak tannins. An above average bourbon.

Strong sour green apple note on the nose, along with a earthy and slight floral note. After the first sip aromas of clove and spice also came through. Strong pepper and rye spice on the palate with a short to medium finish.
