Tastes

NEAT NOSE - Vanilla, Caramel, Apple, and Oak. The nose is extremely pleasant and enticing. PALATE - Thick mouthfeel and coats the palate. Smooth, sweet vanilla with no burn FINISH - Smooth but vanishes quickly BUY? - Yes. Instead of hunting down Eagle Rare 10, buy this. This crushed Eagle Rare 10 in a blind for me. BUY AGAIN?? - Yes. 10 YR Shelfer.

NEAT NOSE - Hints of Vanilla, Caramel, Maple, and Mint PALATE - Vanilla, Rye Spice, with an oily mouthfeel FINISH - Sweet with a little kick of rye spice BUY? - Yes, don’t pass this one. BUY AGAIN? - Absolutely. One of the best ryes I’ve ever had.

NEAT NOSE - Brown Sugar, Maple Syrup, Molasses, Hint of Oak PALATE - Very rich and sweet. What you smell is essentially what you get. Loads of brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla with some baking spices. Drinks much lower than the proof point. FINISH - Medium finish with a good, smooth and pleasurable aftertaste. BUY? - Absolutely. BUY AGAIN?? - Without question.

NEAT NOSE - Brown Sugar, Nutmeg, Caramel, Vanilla PALATE - Oak, Vanilla, Maple Syrup FINISH - Short, but sweet. BUY? - Yes BUY AGAIN?? - Yes. Shelfer Quality.

NEAT NOSE - Vanilla, brown, sugar, and oak. PALATE - It is very smooth and non-offensive with prominent notes of brown sugar and vanilla. FINISH - A maple syrupy sweetness that is just inviting you to take another sip. BUY? - No doubt. This should be your introduction to double-oak’d bourbons. BUY AGAIN?? - 100% yes. This is a great and affordable pour and there are single barrel offerings out there as well!

NEAT NOSE - Pretty pleasant and not harsh. Notes of vanilla, oak, caramel and some floral notes. PALATE -There is a very nice and velvety mouth feel with a hint of spice and cinnamon. Caramel is pretty prominent on the palate as well. FINISH - Medium. BUY - Sure. It’s a good budget bourbon. BUY AGAIN? - It’s widely available and it won’t break the bank. I think it makes for a great daily. I wonder how it stacks up against some of the regular single barrels.

Neat - on the nose, there is alot of fruity sweetness. The apricot brandy is noticeable on the nose, but not dominant or overwhelming. On the palate, there is alot of fruity sweetness, not necesarrily apricot, just fruit and sweetness. On the finish, there is also that classic and expected rye spice that comes through initially after sipping and sticks around for a little while after swallowing.

Neat - On the nose, it smells pretty good but its also very faint. Typical bourbon notes of corn, vanilla, and honey but they are very faint. So its not a surprise when the aromas dont transfer over to the palate as obviously. On the palate, I get more vanilla than anything. Its very faint, but goes down extremely smooth. The finish lingers pleasantly on the palate and is sweet.

Neat - Very smooth. Goes down as if it was less than 90 proof. Definetely can pick up the pear brandy and rum on the nose and on the palate. The rum profile comes through more so on the palate for me. Otherwise, on the palate i get pear, apple, and a very sweet finish that stays along for a while.

Not the best at all, but drinkable. I prefer most of my whiskey neat and occasionally on the rocks. This one i prefer in a frozen Jack and Coke. This spirit shines for me in that regard. Otherwise, Jack Daniels has much better juice in their single barrel expressions; especially barrel proof!
