Tastes

Sweet nose at first but immediately shifts to earthy scents including lemongrass and dirt. Palate is really yeasty with subtle moss. Finish is extremely dry and relatively short.

Mild nose, sweet wood taste that transitions into floral herbal notes, nothing distinct, but very agreeable. Easy to drink with a delicate medium lasting finish.

Wasn't sure about this at first, but have really come around to it. Definitely needs water and air. Let it sit for a few moments before sipping. Heavy cinnamon burn up front, which dissipates into a gingerbread-like sweetness. Finish is medium, not quite hanging around until the next sip. Decent bourbon, just a bit hot.

Malty sweet nose, cherries, brown sugar, somewhat subtle nutty smell. Oily mouthfeel with an instant hit of sweetness with a full mouth spice gradually building into the finish. Finish is medium long with a slight burn down the hatch, which dissipates into fruity sweetness again. These flavors linger on the back of the tongue until the next sip. Favorite thing about this is the Sherry sweetness combined with the burn, both coming and going synchronously to create a great drinking experience.

Nose of vanilla and cinnamon with a slight burn off the nostrils. There's also a mineral smell to it, almost like wet stone. Having had Dickel, I now recognize this as the vitamin characteristic they're known for. The smell of oak underpins everything. Sweet molasses and wood notes with a red hot burn on the tongue. The heat quickly dissipates to a comfortable warmth, which lingers through the end of a mid-length finish. Left with sweet sensation that follows a red hot binge. Lingering mineral taste following it all. This whiskey jumps around a lot, and I think it's due to the high rye, low rye blend. You get the rye spice from the Kentucky and Indiana juice, but then you get the sweet and mineral notes from the high corn Dickel juice. It's good - unexpected, but good.

Fruity sweet nose. Cherries and dark berries. Leather finish initially. Woody taste. Long long finish. Very good. Very easy to drink.

From what I remember, overwhelming sweet spice from the rum cask left me with heartburn.

Pungent pear on the nose among other fruits, immediate light spice, finish is incredibly refreshing and provides more citrusy fruits. Really really good.

Sweet nose, easy on the pallet, spicey cinnamon finish. Update: having had more whiskeys since trying, amending my initial review to a lower rating for consistency of scale.
