Tastes

Hmm. Smells like PVC glue. Maybe I got a bad bottle? Now I need to come up with a mixed drink that can hide the funk. Or serve it to unwanted houseguests, maybe.

A lot going on here... Malted barley, cantaloupe, apple, dates on the nose. all that, plus... fruitcake? smooth mouth feel. hint of smoke on the exhale. Really, really good. needs another half a star

Reminds me of Oban. brine, green apple, steel on the nose. apple + sourdough. Pretty good

Jasmine, dried corn& caramel on the nose. pepper& floral... DRY. Not bad, but not for sipping neat.

toasted wood, apricot& honey on the nose, honey& allspice with a short finish. overall nice, and pleasant to drink.

This one needs a touch of water to open it up and tone down the heat. After that, you get a nice pepper & honey, followed by barrel and a hint of cinnamon on the nose. less going on in the actual taste. Sweet, the honey shows up, and then a short finish

Super smooth and rich. almost creamy feel. light flavor, and a hint of dry wood. Subtle finish. This is better than I expected.
