Tastes

Used to be my favorite when small batch bourbon first stated growing. Now it’s a go to when the bar is unfamiliar, but it’s a little muted in comparison to some of the new bourbons like Longbranch, Eagle Rare, Russell’s Reserve

Great value bourbon. This is strong at 100 proof. Add water and you can’t beat the price

Great taste of vanilla, apple, and spice. A little limited on the nose in comparison to Longbranch but a great whiskey overall.

Great bourbon and has a cherry or red fruit finish.

Vanilla, apples, and spice on the nose. Great flavor and smooth finish. One of my favorite bourbons, similar to Eagle Rare but with a better aroma

Great on the nose with spices and some red fruit. Tastes full bodied and has flavor that lasted all the way through. Similar red fruit notes to a scotch finished in a sherry cask.

It says heavily peated on the bottle but doesn’t smell or taste like it. I really like the Jura 10, but if you like that DON’T buy this. It smells weird like play dough or silly putty that is sweet and honestly doesn’t smell like peat. I smell dried cow patties and tall grass from the ranch. Golden amber color. The taste isn’t horrible but there is a delayed afterburn to it. It’s smooth to start and savory through the middle but ends with some peated spice. WAY Better with water added but still not something I’d buy (a drunken Scotsman bought me a round and ordered the 10 but they were out, so we got this). With water you actually get peat, smoke, and a bit of sardines.
