This is a 3 1/2 for me. I love the heat on swallow, and the rich taste. I get the honeysuckle real strong on initial pull. But there is a taste in just can't place mixed in. I don't like this flavor but the liquors flavor squashes it before I can figure it out or not enjoy the drink. Is it orange oil? Not sure, hope the 12 and 15 are as good if not better. Don't pass it. But if you can place the distinctive flavor please let me know.

Hancock's President's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 18, 2015 (edited June 25, 2016)Don't listen to Gregory [joking] price should Never have anything to do with taste. Hancock Reserve plainly states this is a fruity sided burbon. Coming from the Buffalo Trace family you would think grass,and smoke. But no. This drink is a pleasant citrus and floral garden of flavor. Let your nose be your guide on this. You will drink what you smell. And in a world where distilleries and distributer jack the price up for the sake of name recognition [looking at you Jack,Jim&Johhinne] with shi@ty taste behind it. Little gems like this are a godsend in the sea of detritus swill. But hey everyone's taste buds are different, and no two pallets are the same. I will continue selling this and drinking it [I have had 4 750ml in the past 2 months]. Yummy good. -
Dalmore 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed January 9, 2015 (edited December 25, 2022)SEE MY NEW REVIEW.... No sir. I tried it, I tried to like it,but this is a pass for me. I love the smoke,but there is a strange flavor that I just can not pallet. I smell no orage,no citrus, Just an ethonol smell. This smell transitions to the flavor. Maybe my pallet is messed up,but I have to say no. -
Glenmorangie Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed December 25, 2014 (edited December 17, 2015)OK way too many low marks for this gem. It is a spey side with unabashed flavor. Is it peaty? No. Is it smokey? No but it never was meant to be. It is meant to be just what it is. A great tasting easy drinking 12 year old. -
