Tastes

Nose: Some oak and apple with minimal heat on the nose. Some sweetness that is tough to place, maybe honey. Palate: Rye hits with some black pepper and medium heat. Finish: some of that peppery burn rolls through followed by some fruit and then a long chocolate finish. Very nice finish Overall this is a solid rye with a very good finish. Finish lasted quite awhile and really put a stamp on its rating. Very good

Nose: Primarily sherry with a bit of rubber and dried fruit in there as well. Nice and sweet Palate: Underwhelming. I get a bit of rubber and fruit. Essentially just a dialed down version of the nose. A little thin. Finish: Smooth finish with a bit of pepper in there alongside sherry again Overall the nose and finish were nice, but palate really missed. It’s a nice smooth drinker but is missing some complexity

Nose: sweet like powdered sugar with some graham cracker and oak Palate: some heat followed by a smooth vanilla oaky Finish: lots of oak with some charred sugary caramel in there too Overall a well done bourbon but a bit one dimensional for me. Sweet took over and I didn’t get much other than that. Good bourbon

Nose: a bit more ethanol than I normally prefer paired with some oak Palate: corn oak and some pepper to top it off, but not too much of a bite Finish: caramel is smoother than most other finishes Nose had me worried, but palate was enough to convince me this was great, and finish was the cherry on the top

Nose: caramel, corn, and a bit of ethanol Palate: spice, cinnamon, and a bit of sweet vanilla Finish: warm caramel and vanilla lingers for a nice long finish Overall was really pleasant and had a nice bite-sweet ratio that I enjoyed. I would grab it again for the price

Nose is fairly sweet with some ethanol Palate is smooth with some caramel, vanilla, and spice Finish is long and filled with caramel pudding
