Tastes

Harsh at first with wood, and then finishes with a bit of a rich fudge taste. The wood sugars and flavors are there, they just have become deeper and older, it seems.

Extremely light color, very little age, and tastes heavily of water and smoke. Without telling me, I'd guess this is one of those legal grocery store 40 proof bourbons. Finishes actually decently, with rye spice lingering past the lower flavor profiles. I suppose it is and does taste like bourbon, but what you would buy if you wanted something different from Jim Beam but still with the lack of flavor.

Very light flavor with honey all around. Water brings out the very heavy wood flavor. A little watery, but the flavor is nice.

Fruity, peppery, smells fruity and woody. Very light tasting, and the finish fades very quickly.

Great wood, tobacco, leather notes up front, but the finish doesn't linger as long as I would like, due to what I think is the age.

Wood on the front, smoke on the end. It's a little cheating that so many flavors come from bourbon barrels, but the Scotch flavors are not hidden from view at all. It's like aged apples, cereal, all the striking points, bathed in the wood sugars.
