Tastes

Nose: blueberries, dense earthy peat, butterscotch, caramel, corn bread, lavender. Taste: gingerbread, caramel, dry grass. Finish is a very spicy black pepper and heavy red wine graphite / leather taste. Almost no mid palette. I think I got a neck pour so that may be the issue.

Nose: Corn, heavy malt, apples, maple syrup, grape, oak, citrus, dense molasses / chocolate. Taste: peanut butter, rye, caramel, molasses, syrupy after taste, dense oak. Grape sweetness is there but its actually rather weak but dense at the same time. Its heavily taken over by the oak and caramel, but when you do taste it its dense almost sour. Almost like a dense, unsweetened jam than a jelly. Water brings out some brown sugar, cinnamon, apples and cherry but otherwise dulls everything down.

Nose: oak, apple, cherry, rye spice. Taste: heavy oak and apple. Brown sugar and spice. Slightly malty. Very sour oak and fruit finish. Slight chocolate banana finish. Out of all the budget bourbons I’ve tried, this is the best so far. Very fruity and spicy with a good amount of oak influence.

Nose: Orange, dense cinnamon roll, lemon, kiwi, pear, marshmallow fluff. Taste: Very heavy malt. You can almost taste the yeast. Vaguely fruit finish. Very light. Peppery vanilla aftertaste.

Nose: caramel, apples, cherries. Surprisingly heavy oak. Almost a hint of black pepper or barrel char. Sour mash. Sweet vanilla cream. Taste: cherry syrup , oak, vanilla candy. Light baking spices. Surprised how oaky and light this was especially for 50 abv. Pretty standard budget bourbon nothing amazing

Nose: peach cobbler cooked on a coal fire. Light pears and underripe apples. Taste: same as nose with some black pepper and lemon. Powdered sugar.

Nose: popcorn, lemon, bacon grease, chocolate, raspberries, peanut, sage, dry parsley, lavender, vanilla, Taste: bacon, steak, fudge, caramel, sage, lemon, popcorn, roasted peanut, lavender, violet.

Nose: acetone, sherry,light honey, dense cake malt almost angel food cake, pear, almond, cashew,grass, dark red wine, basil Taste: blue bell, violet, lavender, lilac, basil, cilantro, honey cake malt, light vanilla, pear, apple, butter, elderflower, wet grass, red apple, light caramel, light hint of fig, light oak spice, almonds / hazelnut, vanilla cream, almost a bit of milk chocolate. Rose hips. Very complex dram and probably worth the cost

Nose: sweet corn, vanilla, some malt / dusty corn, red grapes, honey, green apple Taste: sweet red wine, caramel, butterscotch, dry figs, apples, light cinnamon, classic beam banana peanut, vanilla, Bosch / Asian pear, slight oak. Very dry finish.

Nose: honey, red wine, fruit cake, cinnamon, cantaloupe, pancake malt, fresh overripe figs, young dates, butterscotch / light vanilla, Taste: figs, pancake malt, parsley, sea salt, hint of the red wine, honey. Finish is long and spicy with cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Burnt caramel. Similar to Jura but less malty and more fruity.
