Tastes

Nose is a sweet vanilla bomb with notes of cinnamon and grass. Mouthfeel is a bit thicker while the palate explodes with spice and a not unpleasant astringent backbone. The 30% rye really comes through here. The finish hangs there for a while with a black pepper haze. Really nice!

Nose: lots of vanilla, oak and cherries with some brown sugar. Palate: strong oak with some brown sugar and cherry syrup. Also a bit grassy…nod to the rye. Finish: spicy and long Really nice bourbon.

All sweet and vanilla in the nose. Cherry vanilla palate and quite drinkable. But it seems to be missing some complexity. Woody finish that dissipates quickly. Decent, but a bit pricey for what you get.

Nose: Hot alcohol with faint cherry syrup, vanilla, oak. Palate: Hot and spicy with brown sugar and medicinal syrup. Finish: Lots of burn with sugar and spice. For the price, it’s a winner but less complex and interesting than most.

Nose: All vanilla and oak here Palate: Very thin, almost watery. Definitely get some brown rice syrup along with a bland carb note. There is some minor toasty notes but not much complexity here which may be due to the brown rice replacing the rye in the mash. That makes it very drinkable but a bit boring. Finish: The finish lingers a bit with an odd yeasty note at the end. Not bad by any means but I enjoy more complex whiskeys with a backbone. This is certainly easy drinking and smooth.

Nose: cherries, cream, leather, licorice Palate: hot spice, vanilla, fresh grass, a bit of tobacco Finish: satisfying burn that fades to dark fruit A really good rye that drinks a bit below its proof.

Nose is full of cereal and butter. Palate is spicy grass with a hint of burnt sugar. Finish is hot and short. Overall, what I expect from a Pennsylvania Rye.

Grass, pepper and brown sugar in the nose. Hot spice with vanilla and a hit of orange cream on the palate. It finishes with a bit of spice and heat.

Lots of orange creamsicle and hot alcohol that kind of burns the nose. The palate is full of cherry syrup and oak. Finishes hot with a mild burn. Really not bad for the price.

Lots of leather in the nose with a bit of tobacco and some hot alcohol. The leather continues to the palate along with a faint hint of brown sugar but overall less sweet than most. The finish lingers with a spicy heat. A nice and unique tasting bourbon.
