Tastes

Smoke on the nose. Attacked my mouth on multiple levels upon entry (in a good way). Finished spicey on a few levels (like fire works going off at different heights). I don’t know where it fits in the arsenal, maybe for making smokey drinks, or as a friendly night cap. Probably won’t replace the bottle once empty.

Had this neat. The nose has a little heat, even though the proof is low. The port finish encapsulates the mouth feel and delivers the flavor and spice to the finish, which is excellent. Tried with a little ice, and it broke down, due to proof. Was looking for something a little different and this is a great option.

The nose on this is like the soft sound of a good band hitting you as you walk by the open door of a bar in summer - makes you want to go inside. Once inside your early suspicions are confirmed, this bourbon runs a good show. It hits perfectly in between daily drinkers like Bulleits / Buffalo Trace, and the more serious Old Forester 1920 / E. H. Taylor Single Barrel. What a great finish!

People are right to talk about cigars/tobacco with this one... Trouble is I don’t smoke. 1 star for good mouthfeel/consistency and color.

2014, barrel 14H505. Vanilla. Delicious. Buy it all.

Nice - had the consistency of a really warm molasses. Really nice finish. Pretty tough proof for me, thinking I’d like it better with just a little less burn.

approachable nose, friendly, casual. soft first taste with an awesome finish, spice and a nice consistency. deceivingly light caramel color.
