Tastes

Garfields Pick aroma: Really pleasant and surprisingly didn't burn nearly as much as you would think. Notes of cherry, brown sugar, caramel, honey, rye spice, hint of ripened stone fruit flavor: up front is a dose of luxardo cherry immediately followed by a big kick of rye and barrel spice. The finish goes for days with cherry oak and rye. After each sip you get a huge kentucky hug that will keep you warm on a cold winter night overall: I was hesitant to buy this as i have heard mixed reviews but I'm a big OF fan so i figured it was worth the try. I can easily say this is one of the better bottles i have picked up all year. It's everything i like in OF but turned up to 11. fantastic pick

Aroma: Sweet corn, cherry, vanilla, wintergreen and a slight funk Flavor: sweet corn, caramel, cherry and finishes with rye spice and wintergreen mint Overall: it's a very unique bourbon, has some floral rye whiskey notes mixed with classic bourbon notes and a little funk

I liked this more than expected. There is a familiar bourbon flavor, maybe some barrel spice and vanilla. The nose is very faint but pleasant with maple, vanilla and some apples

Aroma: saw dust, sweet malt, some oak spice Flavor: Definitely young, has a corn sweetness and a fair amount of barrel spice. Not too complex, however, I can see this being great in a cocktail Overall: definitely not worth the price. I wish that koval would push out some longer aged whiskey because it has potential and they have been distilling for quite some time. Unfortunately it's just too young

Aroma: very faint, cherry, and a general sweetness Flavor: very muted, hint of cinnamon, cherry and finished dry Overall: not impressed at all, I would take wt101 over this ever day of the week in value and flavor

Tasted this blind aroma: cherry, caramel apple, hint of oak. a bit of a mild aroma but is quite nice overall flavor: sweet, initially hits with barrel spice but it fades quick, oak and bittnerness to finish Overall: the aroma and most of the flavor are great but the finish and complexity lack a bit I tasted this blind along side Weller 107 and I actually preferred the 107, it just had more going on which was crazy to me after the reveal

Aroma: apples, cinnamon, caramel. Flavor: cinnamon and barrel spice from start to finish with some sweetness Overall: not terribly complex but it's refined and has a nice finish

Aroma: A little funky, apples, cherries (more prevalent as it breathes), slight vanilla and honey. Not as strong as i would expect for the proof but decent. Flavor: Very interesting, has some typical scotch flavors but with subtle notes of bourbon. Apple/pear, spices, a bit of cherry and oak and a lot of honey on the finish Overall: More complex than I would have guessed and has a good proof punch to keep the finish lingering. Very nice scotch and definitely worth the price

Aroma: a heavy dose of ethenol. Really need to let it breath. Once it opens you get hints of cherry, milk chocolate and brown sugar Flavor: quite sweet, a fair amount of cherry, brown sugar and some oak. Finishes with a slight bitter oak Overall: It's an average bourbon with a good proof but definitely not worth the price. Comes off very hot and a little young. Lacks a little complexity.

Store pick Aroma: sweet corn, chocolate muffin and a hint of peanut Flavor: barrel spice really comes through on this one. Malt sweetness and milk chocolate that's finishes with some oak and spice and peanuts Overall: excellent pick that was about 7 years old. Has more character and body than the standard larceny
