Tastes

Super layered, so much so that I’m having a hard time pinning down permanent notes. Generally on the nose I’m getting some lemon/apple citrus while also on a beach with a leftover fire in the morning (weird but it’s what I’m getting). Also some vanilla-butterscotch. Tasting it it’s more subdued but briny, slightly sweet, like desiccated fruit. With a lingering sea breeze. But again, I’m getting something new every time I go in.

On the nose, very herbal, some vanilla. A little bit of fruit and cinnamon too. Tasting it strong eucalyptus and botanicals, a little salty and vanilla. Some caramel too. Long spicy aftertaste.

Super interesting. The smell explodes with cherrywood and vanilla. On the taste the cherry and oak stay strong but over time I’m getting almost a cream soda flavor. On the aftertaste vanilla and something herbal. Quite fun for the price.

On the nose I get sweet cinnamon, vanilla, cereal. Tasting it the cinnamon stays but also with chewing gum and some lemon peel. Spicy and oily throughout. Lingering finish. Pretty decent rye though maybe a tad pricier than other types of the same caliber.

I love this. The nose is vanilla and vacillates between red vines and cherrywood. If I let it sit for a second I get maple on the nose. On the taste I get vanilla upfront that quickly explodes with candied green apples/ green tea. The aftertaste lingers with opines and spiciness. Absolutely great value for a 50 proof rye.

The smokiest whisky I’ve ever had. But on drinking it it quickly goes to sweetness like drinking a country ham.

Like drinking a smoked ham.
