Tastes

The nose boasts soft sweet floral aromas with vanilla bean. Reminds me of honey-suckle in the summer. The attack is soft and coats the tongue. Vanilla, butter, caramel, and honey dominate the palate. The finish remains soft and warm. Leaves you wanting more.

I pick up a bit of mint (spearmint) on the nose. Also woodiness and baking spices can be picked up. The attack is soft and prickly. Butterscotch is a prevailing initial flavor, but baking spices of all spice and cinnamon take over. There is a Slight tannin mouth-feel that creates a med-short finish.

Nose is fairly muted. I can make out a little Tobacco and leather. Sweet nuttiness, like a derby pie. (Candied pecan) The attack is soft that develops a tannic mouth feel. Maple, pecans, and toffee jump out at me. The finish is sweet and warm.

Super smooth with mild flavors. I prefer my whisky with a bit more ‘umph’, but this is a very enjoyable whisky. I do not find it worth the price of $72, at all.

Incredible. Soft, enticing nose. Smooth through and through. Lasting finish that makes you want more. Incredible. I’d pay $100 for this bottle

First and foremost… I pause too much for this! Look for a price range of $65 +/- $10. Beautiful color, and a soft nose. Attack is soft and develops into a med-low mid pallet. Very smooth with a nice “hug” and baking flavors. Not a bold “in your face” bourbon, but a woody, warm finish remains in your mouth for about 20 seconds. Leaves you wanting more.

Nose is underwhelming, but the attack packs a punch. An incredible sharp bite mellows into a heavy body with honey, nutty, and light tobacco flavors. The finish is warm, but a little short for my liking. I’m SHOCKED this is on 86 proof. Drinks like a cask strength for 1/2 the price.

Love this. Got to be in the mood, but I love how the cherry isn’t over done. I’m not going to write a full review, because it’s more of a cordial. Makes a great Old Fashioned, or Manhattan though! haha

Good news on this bourbon is it tastes like it smells. Butter! Not for me.
