Tastes

Nice, mild mannered. Lacks distinction.

Sweet cinnamon, clove, and anise nose. Sweet caramel on the palate but yeasty bread is there as well with just a touch of fruitiness. Gets peppery and finishes with a lingering sweet cinnamon roll. Clove and licorice are there as well. This is a very good rye and a permanent fixture in my bar. This rye is unparalleled at this price. Hey Old Forester, I know you haven't joined the barrel finish trend, but this rye finished in a toasted barrel could be over the top.

Nose is sweet and fruity. Taste is strong on cherry pie.

Nose is sweet and fruity, definitely pick up the high alcohol content. This whiskey is delicious in your mouth,smooth,warm, and velvety. Full of butterscotch that lingers on the tongue. Drink neat and sip slowly.

Fruity, floral, and sweet nose, slightly pruny. Taste is strong on cinnamon and sugar. A little pepper along the way. This whiskey would go great with apple pie. Very short finish.

Mild, pleasant sweet and fruity nose. Flavors are heavy on the back of the tongue. Fall spices and caramel, but somewhat bitter like orange peel in the middle. This is tamed by water or ice and improves it greatly. There is a tinge of pepper toward the end and maybe chocolate.

Nose is sweet and floral, slightly reminiscent of window cleaner but not in a bad way. Sugary vanilla and black pepper on the tongue with a hint of over ripe pit fruit and cinnamon. Nice oily feel when drank neat. Fairly simple flavor pallette. Shorter finish. Makes a great Old Fashioned.

Nose is fruity and sweet, but not distinctive. I get a lot of oak and cocoa on the pallet. Pepper lingers in the throat. Slightly bitter.

Blueberries on the nose, slightly yeasty. Taste is similar, like buleberry pie but not as sweet. This is a nice drinkable, warm whiskey, needs a stronger proof.

Barbeque, oak, and sweet fruit on the nose. Pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg spices at first taste. Slight fruitiness, mild. Herbal aftertaste. Not much punch or depth.This could have been a great bourbon, but the relatively low proof holds it back. Drinking neat is required.
