Tastes

Holy cow , this is simply incredible. 96 points.Heavy Brown sugar , vanilla , hints of caramel . Short finish was the only con . Groups consensus favorite of the night beating out OFC 1993 , Jefferson presidential, HH23 .

Came in middle of the pack on Wheat bottle flight of 10 different bottles for me. Heavy notes of toasted corn flakes on the nose . Palate is similar with heavy corn notes and wet burlap . Finish soften enough to show notes of almonds. Does have a long finish so if this is your flavor profile , then it’s worth a try . Unfortunately of the 10 of us tasters I gave it the most credit. So disappointing since I usually enjoy Smooth Ambler offerings

I wanted to like this more. And expected to like this more than I did . I feel WT 101 and Rare Breed are totally overlooked. Great products at their price , so I thought the single barrel selection from WT would follow suit. Decent pour but very average. Found myself trying to find something special, but while a respectable bottle , nothing I could find to make me buy this again . Will stay with their 101 and rare breed

Heat hit liked a ton of bricks , but after your mouth adjusts it’s a very good pour . Nice Orange peel and bright cherry notes highlight this pour. Nice different expression from earlier barrell batches

Interesting. The nose was initially unusual and perplexing . I knew nothing of the multiple barreling at the time and as a result my initial nosing confused me. Smells of cigar ash and dark jammy fruits . The palate has flavors of sherry and stewed plums . After seeing the barreling procedures, it definitely makes sense now . I can’t say I either loved or hated this . I found it intriguing probably more so than enjoyable. That’s not to say I won’t return to try this again and actually looking forward to trying it again soon when I can spend more time with it

Nice pour . Drinks at much lower proof . Notes of vanilla and oak . Unfortunately a solid pour with little faults , but also nothing remarkable to justify the bottle cost

10 year bottle . 91 points , very well structured Bourbon with caramel , vanilla and soft oak
