Tastes

Oaky leather nose. Spicy palate, slightly oily, a little piney. This is a nice light tasty whiskey at a nice proof, but the price tag outpaces its value.

The alcohol leads the way in your nose. I don't get a lot more, some burnt sugar. On the palate, it's more of the same, the high alcohol is obvious, but it is surprisingly smooth. Unfortunately, it leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. It is a very dry whiskey.

The nose is sweet cinnamon roll, very pleasant. More spicy cinnamon candy in the mouth. Short finish, but warm. This is nice, more well rounded than standard 101. One of my favorites from Wild Turkey.

Nose is nonspecifically sweet with a slight spice and fruitiness. Palate is leather and oak and slightly reminiscent of brown sugar and service berries at the end. A definite step up from regular Woodford Reserve.

Nose is sweet cherry pie and cinnamon. The palate is an alcoholic version of the same, rich and earthy in the mouth and slightly spicy. Nice warm chest at the end.

Big beefy BBQ nose. Spicy pallet, rich and oily. Spiciness lingers on your tongue. Slight taste of coffee on the finish. Follow with a sip of water. Superior. Currently, my favorite.

Great nose, fruity with a hint of smoke It coats your lips and tongue, smooth, woody, and slightly fruity but not sweet. A very individual flavor. Warms your chest nicely.

Sweet and spicy nose. Spicy, rich caramel. Slight menthol if you hold it on your tongue. Peppery finish with nice heat. With a 10 year age statement, this is a bargain at $35. Two years on and a couple awards, it's up to $40.

Sweet cinnamon nose. The first taste is that same cinnamon spice followed by a distinct yeasty mash like what you get in a distillery. Finishes with distinctive heat in your chest. This is a nice sipper and a good value at $50.

Good for mixed drinks.
