Tastes

Nose- Sweet, Taste- cinnamon sticks, shortbread, more wood and barrel then a most Glenlivet to me but it's. It a brand I drink often. Finish- fades off to just a bit of spice and heat. Not doing a lot for me.

Nose- spearmint, rye, sweet grass, maybe almost floral, plus caramel Palette- spicier than the nose, still mint, caramel, sugars, Finish- warm baking spices, the rye comes back a bit on the finish with some mint.

Nose- tasted oak, hints of smoke, toffee, burnt sugar, roasted peanut shells, Taste- spicey sweet, some rye, roasted peanut, orange rind, plastic phenolic, spikes of black pepper, toasted oak, Finish- more plastics, rinds, sweet sugars Lot going on here. Had more notes but lost the review. It's def wild turkey turned up and really liked it

Nose- spicey rye and phenol with sweet brown sugars, burnt sugars, toasted oak, roasted salty peanut shells Taste-astringent oak and phenol plastics, cinnamon, peanuts, tanned leathers, spicy, black pepper spikes, it's a bit oily, major maybe some orange rind

Nose- Soft smoke, slightly salty, hints of sweetness like fruits, malty yeasts. Some iodine. Taste- buttery brine with some malty cereal. Earthy and smoke mix with sweet dessert spices. Surprised how much the malt comes through. . Lot less influence of the px cask than I would expect. This is buttery bread, grilled over a campfire by the sea with only hints of grilled peaches and fruit Finish- more wood on the finish than I tasted before. Oak. Some bitterness with the sweet like smoked meats. Still briny. Medium long finish. Overall really pleasant, good bottle. I might lean toward the in your face notes of the .2 but this is still very good.

Nose- red apple skins, juicy golden delicious, not getting much else fruit. Taste-. Sweet. Zero smoke, more red apple skins and golden delicious juice. Finish- slightly tart at the end. I think it's reminding me so much of apples that it tastes like apple seeds, slight mustiness. Some heat and spice, more than 44% would expect. It's numbing the inside of my mouth. Some almonds or nut in the finish. Overall it's good but I'm not seeing it's value. It's rare and I am excited to check a black art off but I'd take a port Charlotte over this personally at a 1/10th the cost. It did get better in the glass. Maybe I needed to let it sit longer.

nose- Soft and creamy vanilla, not as much barrel as I expected for age. Taste- Easy start with Rich caramel and vanilla candy, sugary sweetness, that quickly moves into leather and almost tobacco notes. Char and bits of smoke very lightly. Incredibly rich and you get a lot out of really working it in your mouth. Finish- lingered forever. It builds and stays sweet with lots of leathery tobacco type notes rich and powerful. A great pour

Nose- so strong vanilla, caramel, and burnt sugars. Taste- immediately bites the tongue with a hot spice and heat, followed by rich oily caramels, burnt marshmallow and some light rye spice. Finish- I'll tell you tomorrow. Pretty sure I am still getting notes an hour later. The sweetness comes through with some oak and wood barrel, it's the definition of rich and sweet.

Nose: fruity and syrup sweet. Taste: bigger flavor than the nose presents, getting caramel, roasted glazed pecans, spices and sweet pears, just a hint of burn at the end brings more spice. Finish: warm spices bring vanilla, darker fruits with cherry pits, figs, raisins and almost some grass notes.

Nose-. Black marker, iodine, meaty smoke, some sweetness Taste- bright fruits, tangy apple skins, hard punch and spikey spices, black pepper then gives way to salty brine, rich smoke, unripe green melons Finish- rich smoke, bits of sweetness fade quick, then it's all salty spray and a very slow fading peat smoke. It's with you for the haul. Freaking delicious.
