Tastes

Super interesting. Like nothing I’ve had. Nose: smells like holiday nuts, spice, heat, slight grain. Mouth: peanut brittle, holiday spice, sweet caramel Finish: pretty long, smooth, sweet I really like it.

Full flavor, not overly complex. Sweet and spicy balance. It’s a strong warm hug, but not as hot as expected. Very solid bourbon!

Very nice taste. I get a sweet caramel and spice balance. I also get a clover note. Drinks much smoother that it’s proof.

Solid definition profile. Although I enjoy single barrels more, this small batch is really enjoyable.

WOW!!! Super unique rye. Nose: Maple, vanilla, pepper spice, traditional rye, marshmallow Mouth: Light maple, brown sugar, pepper, smoke, oak. Getting a crème soda flavor. Finish: Warm, spicy, slight sweet balance. Good depth and length. Rather smooth for a rye. This is a super unique rye. Never tasted one so sweet or with these sweet flavors. More common in a bourbon. The rye gives a full bodied and spice balance. I really enjoy it. Definitely would buy another.

Nose: Big caramel, pepper, oak, mint, mixed berry, heat Mouth: Full, round, deep caramel, peppery spice, berry syrup, butter pastry, vanilla and powdered sugar. Finish: Pepper, warm all the way down. Nice hug. Minty fresh. The finish has great staying power. Overall: this is a very refined bourbon. It’s evident it’s age of 8-10 years. I love this bourbon.

High proof that drinks well. Best of the Turkey. A few drops of water mellows it and brings out a completely different experience that is still enjoyable.

Nose - vanilla, light maple syrup, hint of artificial cherry, grain alcohol, light green grass Mouth - medium to light density, sweet, vanilla and molasses, white pepper balance, soft wheat feel, traditional wheat smooth. A little more complexity than a Larceny shelver. Get a late touch of baking spices. Slight spearmint. Adding a splash of water mellows the heat, opens it up, brings out more spice, more light pine and oak, but also makes it less interesting. Finish - interesting, but not overly complex. Sweet, berry, small bite of spice, modest heat but enjoyable. Heat gets less modest with subsequent sips. Tongue and cheek numbness lingers. Not a punch of wow, but decent staying power. Touch of peanut on the linger. Overall - a great entry sipper. Doesn’t meet my definition of bourbon profiles. But I’d reach for it on an entry experimental night. Feels a little young, but refined for its age.

Nose: Peanut butter and peanut brittle. Cherry. Light pepper. Complex and interesting. Taste: smooth, cola, balanced, pepper, deep creamy differing caramels. Finish: round, balanced, smooth, good linger, unsalted peanut. Overall: Very enjoyable. Complex. Refined. Balanced. Superb unique offering.

Nose: Medicinal, smell grain alcohol. Oak, carmel, grass, cherry Taste: Peppery, carmel, heat, berry syrup Finish: light mouth feel, lingers. Feels young. Overall: it’s interesting, simple, just above average.
