Tastes

Neat: smooth banana split with a vanilla finish that wasn’t too sweet for me. I actually enjoyed this and the more I let it sit, the more I liked it. I would buy this if I found it regularly. For those who are not a fan of sweet, vanilla bourbons, I would warn them this might be too sweet and not strong enough. For me, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Smooth without ice with a caramel pallet and finish. Surprisingly smooth to be 120 proof. After adding ice, the flavor isn’t as prominent and doesn’t expand as I expected. Great pour but not worth $300 for me.

The palette and finish is like drinking the Big Red cinnamon gum. Super powerful but not so much where it isn’t smooth. The cinnamon and spice carry the flavor while the finish had a quick sweet taste but finished with a cinnamon kick. Quite a drink and would be worth the $60-80. I wouldn’t pay more than $80 for this bottle. Great pour.

Pepper and vanilla dominate the palette and finish. Wouldn’t purchase again.

Peppermint, spice, vanilla and oak. Has a bit of a strong spice up front. I wasn’t a fan of the finish due to the peppermint and spicy end. I wouldn’t buy a bottle. Try a glass from a friend first.

Fantastic nose, taste and finish. Nose has brown sugar and almost smells like a perfect old fashion. Taste still has brown sugar, caramel and some spiciness from the rye. The finish lingers for quite some time which allows you to continue to enjoy the drink and savor the flavor. A really good bottle. I’d recommend to let it breathe for a bit before trying. It really opens up.

By far one of my least favorite bourbons. The taste and finish both had strong bites which was not enjoyable. Vanilla and oak play a role but the bite and spice over powered nay flavor for me. Quite disappointing.

Very surprising on how good this was. An easy sip and one I’d recommend for the price. Much better than what I expected.

Lots of sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and a strong lingering taste of vanilla. Does very well once open to air so I highly recommend you let it sit out a while. The nose also opens up. A great bottle.

Sweet oak, vanilla, and spice. A fantastic bottle with a great lingering finish.
