Tastes

Great nose. Very sweet with apple/pear and some honeysuckle on nose and palate. Smooth finish with a light burn. Tried it on an ABV Network blind taste test. It finished 2nd for me but ties for 3rd with group behind BT and Old Tub.

Tried it in a 5 wide blind taste test and it finished 2nd to BT. I was pleasantly surprised. Very solid with butterscotch, vanilla and a little maple syrup on the nose and palate. Good finish on the warm to hot spectrum. I’ll be buying it at a store soon.

Peppery, slightly smoked nose. Catch some vanilla, cinnamon, pepper and oak in the taste. Smooth finish with slight burn, pear and ethanol.

Neutral nose with a little oak and spice. Surprisingly smooth with stone fruit, apple, leather, pepper, spice, and oak all interplay nicely on the palate. Great profile for the price with minimal heat and ethanol.

Pleasant nose with sweet caramel and oak. Very smooth, even when neat. Ripe fruit, vanilla, caramel on palate. Smoky, oaky and velvety finish. Minimal burn.

Tawny red hue. Earthy, fruity and mellow on the nose. Almost no burn on the palate or in the finish. Taste is full with fig, dates, smoky oak and the port wine at end.

Fairly smooth for 90 proof and high rye % in mash bill. Took first sip neat, then poured more over ice in OF glass. Sweet peppery nose then a little heat, pepper and cinnamon before rounding out and finishing with decent vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, a little clean linen, and oak.

Peppery nose. Lot of ethanol, heat and pepper on palate if neat. Need a little water or drink over ice to soften it up then it gives off some good vanilla, caramel and cinnamon notes.
