Tastes

Lady at the hotel “had to put a rock in it” for some reason. I prefer neat, but it’s what a ticket at the Embassy gets you for free. N - vanilla, brush sugar P - oak, corn F - did I miss it??? Not much happening

N - very nice nose, typical bourbon - vanilla and maple P- thicker mouthfeel which I like; oaky… a little too, some maple and brown sugar bleeding through but not enough F - oak, spice… multiple sips leads to a better finish No where near the Darenger. Spend more. Get the Darenger

N - high corn gives it a simple, mild sweet nose; a little oak in there P - thin mouthfeel, little oak, not much going on F - short finish, slightly sweet, mild burn Simple, mild bourbon. Nothing bad. Nothing great.

N - Traditional whisky scents of Honey, brown sugar, maple… backed by the high profile alcohol P - cherry, black licorice, leather F - salt, oak, dark fruits… Nice high proof burn This is really good

N - a light nose, traditional whisky scents - sweet… but it sets you up nicely for the smack in the face that’s coming P - vanilla, rye spices but smooth, brown sugar and maple, a little oak undertone… wonderfully strong palette after a mild nose F - rye spice backed by some sweet maple , rye burn lingers and dries the mouth out

N.- Great nose - heavy vanilla, brown sugar, molasses …. Rich. Really, really good. P- thick mouthfeel, slightly medicinal and okay F - long finish - medicinal quickly turns to oak which fades to a high proof spicy rye burn; this fades also and leaves an oaky residue The nose really carries this whiskey. These great flavors don’t carry through out unfortunately. Oakiness and alcohol take over. Still solid. Edit: As the dram sat for a while, the sweetness stuck around a lot longer and the oakiness lessened.

N - smoke!!!! Peat, light vanilla. P - smoke, peat, band-aids (from expert review but spot on) F - smoke, peat, bad-aids… Can’t get the smoke and band-aids out of my mouth. Just not my thing….
