Tastes

Really enjoyed. First glass neat, room temp. Found it both sweet and hot, spicy. Has typical tasting of vanilla, caramel, boozy, woodsy. Second glass with a cube. Pretty much same but just tamps down the pepper burn on the lips.

Bottle 123, 46.7%. Definitely like this one. I was thinking it would be more mellow and oaky being that it is a 15 year aged but it pretty hot and spicy. Then it shows it’s sweet sugary side. Has just a little smoke char. Both neat and cubed tastings were delicious. I prefer the cube on this one though, seemed to bring out more interesting notes.

Nose smells of oak, sweet, like standing in the barrel room. I thoroughly enjoyed it neat, room temp and also with a cube. Has more flavor and definitely more interesting neat compared to iced. It’s smooth, sweet, and just a hint of spice at the finish.

Sweet and spicy. This one comes in pretty hot. Has some sweetness but quickly gets over run by the barrel strength. I actually thought it was better neat. The cube seems to muddle it up a bit.

Found it enjoyable, nice flavors. Sweet, but with a nice kick. Vanilla, caramel notes. Cube made it nice and smooth.

Very smooth, peaty, but has a nice sweetness to it too. A good mix.

Has a pretty good kick to it. Smells sweet, vanilla like. Taste is hot, spice, pepper, smoky. Room temp neat, and with a cube. I liked it better with the ice, seemed to calm it down a bit. Quality whiskey, my vote.

Extremely easygoing and very tasty whiskey. Had neat, room temp and also with one cube. Both ways served where fantastic. A mixer not needed nor recommended imo.

Sweet floral nose. Tasting really didn’t change much from neat to cube. Has a sweet hit, candy like at front. Bit of spice too. Will be a mixer for me. Just not really a stand alone to me.
