Tastes

Nose: orange, nutmeg, vanilla, garden weeds, leather Palate: citrus, apple, vanilla, caramel, rye spice Finish: medium, pepper, cinnamon , some mint, barrel char, tannins

Nose: vanilla, apple, baking spices, ethanol, caramel, oak Palate: sweet apple, leather, medium oil, honey, vanilla Finish: short, strong barrel char, apple cider, cinnamon

Nose: vanilla, orange, ethanol, almond, tobacco Palate: orange citrus explosion, oily, subtle barrel char Finish: very long, cinnamon and orange explosion, hot, leather

Nose: ethanol, oak, charcoal, vanilla, cherry Palate: oily, cherries, orange, oak, vanilla, creme brûlée Finish: long, some heat at the end, spice and cherry Nose was a bit disappointing for an 18 year. Palate was a sweet explosion. Finish was warmer than expected for 90 proof. Great sipper!

I warmed up with some WSR. Let’s see how sr compares. Legs are like oil stuck on the glass; can tell it has age. Nose: orange vanilla creamsicle, minor ethanol, fleshy fruit like a plum, muted baking spice, hint of tobacco, maple syrup Palate: wow that’s much sweeter than I was expecting, seeing some of the 107 character coming in for sure, oily, getting cinnamon I didn’t have on the nose, some barrel spice, cream cheese frosting Finish: medium, really smooth transition from the palate, spice and heat hit late, brings back the creamsicle from the nose I didn’t have on the palate, a bit of the floral aspects of 107 I was worried I was going to be disappointed in this with all the hype, but damn. This is an absolute steal at $30, just like Antique was in Ohio; instabuy every time it’s available at retail. Would I pay $200? Hard no. I’ll probably pick this up if I ever see it for less $100. Which is a shame because it’s built as a perfect daily sipper. Would love to taste this at an extra 20 proof.

Nose: cinnamon, grass, subtle bubble gum, earth, chalk, very unique, very little ethanol for this high proof Palate: cinnamon, grass, vanilla, baking spice, not too oily Finish: pepper, long, heat hits here, oak in the middle, this is not sweet at all but get a bit of caramel here

N: ethanol, floral, slight caramel, bubble gum P: rye spice, apple, medium to light oil, subtle mint F: quick, mint, floral, slight sweet tarts aftertaste

Nose: light. Took a few mins of sitting before I got much of anything. Vanilla, light cinnamon, faint caramel, subtle fruit Palate: cinnamon, oak, vanilla, sweet and oily Finish: long, heat comes in after a second, some late char
