Tastes

Very good, lemon-lime Sherry. Faint smoke. Less fruity than the 12 or 15 year old.

Too much banana and cinnamon. Really young. I don't think it's worth the money.

I really didn't like it. One of my friends thought it smelled like the international Asian market in town, like sulfur and fish sauce. I really think they used cheap "Sherry seasoned" barrels rather than barrels that actually aged Sherry wine. Very expensive for what it is.

Great balance. Wonderful whisky, but damn expensive.

Totally amazing. Wonderful balance. Not sure about he cost, but it was great.

Amazing, Wonderful balance. Great whisky.

Excellent whisky. Better than the 17yo? Hard to say. Smells like grape gum in the nose. Super well balanced. Love it, but it's damn expensive.

I live down the street from the OYO distillery and as a whiskey nut, wanted to love the stuff. The price is a little difficult to handle, but such is craft whiskey these days. Compared to its local competitors; Watershed and Mill Street, I found the OYO to be strangely sweet (perhaps pralines) on the nose, and not that interesting on the tongue. It's almost like the spirit is influenced by their vanilla/honey flavored vodka they produce at the same site. I prefer Mill Street 100% corn bourbon to OYO's product. It also costs $12.50 less.
