Tastes

Neat in a glencairn. Been open for 60 days or so. Just great all around! Staple for any bourbon lovers cabinet. Enjoyable color, nose, palate and finish. Smoked wood, fruits, cinnamon, vanilla and a little toffee.

No need to elaborate. It is rich, unique, robust with multiple enjoyable notes that will never be smelled or tasted again. Bottle #16517 at 124.4 proof.

Fresh crack in a glen cairn. A: medium to dark red; very good legs N: sweet, syrup, some heat, caramel, vanilla P: heat, oak, leather, baking spice, red hot candy, fresh linen F: extended warm toffee, cinnamon and baking spice. Very unique for 100% corn, heat is there on P and F, but it’s complex with a lot of interplay between several notes.

Nose, palate & finish all complex, multi layered notes of rye, spice, apricots, orange, vanilla. Sweet, hot & exquisite.

Fresh crack, neat in glencairn. A:light orange amber hue with good legs. N: floral, orange, oak, allspice, vanilla, a little caramel P: dry but still pleasant mouthfeel, nose outshines the palate, nose notes are muted and barely come through, oak and smoke, some cinnamon and vanilla. Almost scotch like. F: ok, not spectacular. Overall: drinks hotter than 82 proof, palate was a disappointment after a pretty good nose. Will give it another chance in a week or two.

Solid, smooth and refined bourbon. Works for everyday or any occasion.

First blue corn bourbon. Fairly unique and enjoyable. Different type of sweetness. Look forward to trying more blue corn varietals.

Pleasing nose and palate. Smooth and flavorful.

Overall very pleasant, smooth, full & robust. Nice oak, smoke and dates, pitted fruit.

Opened 3 weeks ago. 2nd pour neat in glencairn. A: amber copper; moderate legs N: warm bread, peanuts, cinnamon, pepper. Burns nostrils a little. P: roasted peanuts, pepper, oaky F: oak, vanilla & pepper with burn above 100 proof. Overall a bit harsh, but still imparts some good notes with heat if that’s your thing.
