Tastes

Not a spicy rye on the nose …. Very soft. Taste is spicy but not very complex. Not a bad pour, but not worth a bottle price as the taste is pretty simple and spicy. I won’t turn it down but would not be looking for it.

Very nice bourbon that won’t break the bank. Nice spice on the nose with classic syrupy maple sweetness. Taste translates from nose with a nice spicy palate . Short finish and a tad thin after an initial burst. Nothing to offend and worth an add a good bottle price and lower proof for easy sipping.

It’s an Old Forester. Very nice and would not turn down. Classic bourbon and would say a bit more rounded than OF100. Would like to SxS the two. Nose and taste that vanilla and caramel…don’t get any OF banana however. Enjoyed.

Not bad …. Nose is classic bourbon. Taste does come off a bit hot but so bad that it’s off putting. Has a bit of young graininess to it, but again not off putting. Nice medium finish. Not one I’d buy a whole bottle but a nice try at a bar.

This is a very good bourbon beginning to end. Extremely pleasant nose with a light oak and spicy. Some classic sweetness and light fruit. The highlight is definitely the taste and finish … consistent with the nose. Love the spicy finish as it’s not a proofy finish but a nice peppery spice. My only minor criticism is that it’s not what I would call complex but rather a very nice lower proof daily albeit more expensive one. Heigold is definitely my favorite of the Rabbit Hole standard offerings. Recommended.

This bourbon isn’t bad. But it’s not great either. It’s got a grainy note and quite unrefined. Definitely drinkable, but one I’m not reaching for too often. Which is sad because it’s my cousin’s bourbon and you don’t want to diss it gotta be honest.

This my follow up rating as I edited taste from a few months ago. Has not opened up well. That ashy taste is even more pronounced. I just don’t enjoy it so fair drop in the rating if you want to see my original review look it up but this has not aged well.

15 year old for $50 is a pretty solid buy. Drinking better than when initially opened and still prefer the 13 year BiB. Mine is pretty low proof at around 84 , but drinks heavier than that. Spicy and oaky and does have that Dickel vitamin note. Nice once in a while, but next time I’ll be a little more choosy opting for a higher proof and store pick.

Better than I remember it. Nose is quite nice … spicy a bit herbally and some very pleasant oak notes. That translates to the sip … quite spicy and peppery but a bit overpowering masking all other notes. Finish is pretty long … very spicy and nice hug. It’s drying though on the palate . It’s a try before you buy if you can as you must really like spice to want this but at $40 it’s not expensive. Drinks proofier than it’s mid 90s mark. Glad to own it

I enjoy this bourbon. Quite spicy and drinks above its proof. Definite vanilla on the nose with a bit of nice oak. Finish is spicy and quite satisfying. At a quality price point I recommend on your shelf as it’s a nice 2nd step for new bourbon drinkers or experienced ones that just want something proofed down a bit without sacrificing taste. Recommended.
