Tastes

Nose: Oak, citrus, and Caramel Palate: creamy mouth feel. Oak caramel and rye flavors. Finish: long- oak, caramel, summer fruit, and rye Not a mind blowing drink. I don’t quite get what the hype is all about, but it is Pretty well balanced and a decent drink for the money.

Nose: peat, wood, touch of honey Palate: medium body. Malty peat, smoke, honey barley Finish: long with peat and a bit of honey Not bad. Still learning peated whiskeys. Not sure I would buy again

Nose: sticky caramel, vanilla, fruit, and hay. Pretty light aroma Mouth: Nutty, dark sugar, spice, nuttiness, and a very light touch of smokiness. Not complex but it is tasty. Finish: medium to light finish. Roasted bread with a touch of caramel and ends with a light spice. One of my first whiskeys and still one of my favorites. Admittedly not complex but it’s a easy drink and as long as the price stays at an appropriate level I will keep one on the shelf.

Smell: honey banana pear vanilla Mouth: a bit oily feel. Bright rye into a good burn. Sweet corn, dark fruit, vanilla Finish: caramel oak pears with peppery rye finish Ok for the price.. not sure I would buy again

Nose: caramel banana, vanilla, oak Tongue: thick in the mouth, baked apple , butter, salty, spices. Finish: spice medium finish touch of sweetness For the price this is a great daily dram

Smell: Berries, Apple, honey Tongue: buttery dates with oaky spice smoke Bitter citrus, touch of brown sugar, grape green and pepper at the end. Very much like this

Too sweet. Not my cup of tea.

Nose: opens up with light butterscotch tones then moves into bright fruity smell with a bit of pear In the mouth: Medium body not very complex (young whiskey). Slight heat. A bit of butterscotch and a hint of apricot as it sits on the tongue. Finish: honey and spice with just a peek of pear. Spice lingers Very drinkable. Not exactly what I would think of for a “bourbon” but for a $35 bottle I think it’s super drinkable. I will definitely keep a bottle of this on hand.
