Tastes

Drinks lower proof than 90, standard bourbon flavors.

Buttercream, ethanol, and caramel on the nose. Fruit and oak on the palate, finish is a bit watery and weak for me. Overall, a nice blend. No specific grain is overly dominant, but if i had to wager a guess, id say its got corn, barley and a bit of rye in that order on the mashbill. Wife got this as a gift and will enjoy working through this one. Curious where they are sourcing from - if anyone knows, let me know!

What?? What an odd dram. Must, funk, almost and i mean almost, campbeltownish is its delivery. Finish of an ashtray… somehow? Sherry and madeira shouldnt be providing this level of deep, dark aromatic complexity. I’d reach for this until i figured out these tasting notes, and thatd take awhile.

Nose first displays the beautiful malted barley that can do no wrong in any glass of mine, followed by a brash punch of the bourbon staves with sweet caramel and baked sweets. Palate and finish displays similar bifurcation but is generally flatter. Is this the distillery, the proof, or the irish single pot style im not used to?

Malty, grassy, a hint of clover on the nose. Quite enticing. Somehow the palate takes a hard turn and is pretty flat. The nose is intoxicating, but the palate disappears and the finish is short.

Delicate, floral, burnt popcorn, almost white wine experience. Its good and different from most american whiskey!

Made to smack you right in the taste buds. Rye, oak, cinnamon, leather. Not the most sophisticated of pours but does the job of checking the barrel proof box.
