Tastes

Slightly more smooth than the Texas Straight. Less spice in the barrel strength.

Smooth and spicy. I enjoy how this one pairs with a spicy dish, building on the experience. Carmel finish.

Honey flavors with pleasant spices. Slightly sweeter than I prefer.

Noses soft and buttery, but starts sharp on the palate. Buttered corn flavors, sweet with plenty of spice.

Noses sharper and spicier than the 10 year, scents of a rain soaked field. The forward flavors are sharper with a peppery heat, hints of roasted corn.

Gentle start, quick spice note, and then smooth honey finish. The nose is sweet summer scents, honeysuckle and golden fruit. Very well balanced in the palate.

The nose is summer honey with light peppery spices. Yellow fruit notes, peaches and apples. Finish is slightly sharp, but caramel accented.

I'm a fan of the Double Rye and the Rendezvous and I might like this just a little more. The forward flavors hit the tongue slightly on the sweet side and then instantly disapate into an excellent balance of spice, sweet, and light citrus note. The nose is citrus and honey. Beautiful.

Beautiful light spice values. Caramelized butter flavors. The butter carries over into the nose. This one is a tongue coating whiskey, filling the whole palate and finishing with a subtle sweetness.

Nose is filled with late harvest apple scents. The roundness of the flavors is a full palate pleaser, starting and finishing strong. The ripe apple notes are prominent. This is the gold standard for me. My absolute favorite.
