Tastes

Okay, I’m digging this! Loads of banana runts candy and juicy fruit bubble gum up front. Getting some walnuts and cashews on the mid-plate along with oak char on the finish. A good honest dram that is very well balanced. More sweet than spicy!

I’m very surprised. This dram is extremely oak forward. The tannins are very present. There’s a lot of sweet oak, some pine, and some bit of a smoked apple wood. Not sure I’d willingly drink this alone, but it pairs perfectly with a cigar! *Paired with a My Father- The Judge cigar.

I’m not a huge Irish Whiskey fan, but this bottle is so good. The front of the palate reminds of biting into a fig newton cookie. love the mid-plate which is full of stone fruits and sweetness: plums, figs, honey, and hints of citrus. The sherry and oak presence are found in the finish as well as some hints of ethanol.

Amazingly well balanced. It’d be an excellent daily sipper if it was easier to find in my area. Nots of toffee, butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, and bitter black coffee. The finish is soft and pleasant. A great dram to share with family/friends or to have solo on a slow moving evening.

This specific variant of Booker’s gave me those classic beam notes of peanuts, deep oak, leather, tobacco, and a deep burn. The tannins in the bottle are very present. If you love heavy oak then this is the bottle for you. The finish is a tad bit astringent, but it does linger for quite some time.

A very sweet bourbon. Notes of malted chocolate ice cream, raw honey, and some bitter coffee. The Morning Glory stays true to its name.. Puts this in your coffee and prepare for the day!!

This dram is tropical all the way! Apricot and marmalade jam are met on the front of the plate. The rye comes in with hit of fresh herbal mint on the mid-palate along with fresh pineapple. On the finish I get an some oak presence along with smokey grilled tropical fruits!

The first two sips will absolutely knock your socks off… the proof commands your attention! Sip 3-5 (and so on) the whiskey becomes dangerously rich and silky! The front of the palate is brown sugar burnt french toast. Mid-palate presents smashed bananas, viscous vanilla, and hints of campfire wood! The finish is super full featuring combinations of all the flavors above but also hugs you with a deep barrel/barn wood presence! The finish is LONG a beautiful! For me it isn’t astringent nor is it overly ethanol based!

For me this is the quintessential bourbon! I get loads of caramel, vanilla, brown sugar and baking spices. Very well balanced! The finish is soft and creamy presenting a deep sweet oak lingering presence!

Absolutely beautiful!! The viscosity is amazing! The flavors are rich and full! The oak char is soft and so approachable. I’m getting lots of molasses, corn syrup, and some leather. Red Velvet cake batter like sweetness and organic vanilla extract! The oak finish lingers for sure!! Excellent dram! *Very complex; you can vary between multiple flavor profiles*
