Tastes

Peppery, fruity, sweet molasses on the nose. Salt, peat, and pepper again on the palate. That salty, briny, talisker lingers on the finish.

Fruity, nutty, spicy. Good.

Classic bourbon and straightforward. Simple

Nose: Ripe orchard fruits, almost fermenting in the field, apple, anise Palate: Tart and fairly mild. Not much mouthfeel and not much flavor. Finish: Finishes stronger with barrel spice, astringency, and high pitched sweetness (poor description). Overall wanted more of a slam with the Armagnac and the nose is the most exciting piece of the experience.

Watered down, less complex Blantons.
