Tastes

Very floral and fruity. Doesn’t register in my brain as a whiskey. More like some kind of liqueur or strange gin. Smoke/spice/sweet dried fruits takes me to dinners with Vietnamese relatives.

Same typical maple bourbon flavors as the EW black label but with more oak flavor and tannin dryness and also a more black pepper finish. Its better than the black label but not by much.

A120 Rich cavendish pipe tobacco. Hot and spicy but sweet and rich

Maple, caramel, sweet easy drinking bourbon. Not complex but there is nothing not to like. No saccharine, metalic, or medicinal notes or flavors just sweet bourbon flavor. If this doesn’t give you the flavors that made you like bourbon then I don’t know how you got here.

Nose: peat takes a back seat to malt and honey. Sweet and floral. Palate: Peat jumps out of the back seat and into the drivers seat. Honey is gone but short bread cookies jumped in.

Meaty slightly sweet smoke, light spice without the usual medicinal notes of peated scotch.

Solid baseline scotch. Nose is typical malt, slight ferment funk, slightly floral. Supposedly peated but I think even if you hate peat you would be hard bent to pick it out. Taste slightly sweet and typical single grain taste. Very middle of the road. Tiny bit of heat on the tongue. There is nothing offensive. What is there is pleasant and easy going but not one to blow your skirt up.
