Tastes

Instead of using your time machine for serious things, you jump in it to go back to your childhood hoping you might be able to have peanuts again. Then you realize you're still an adult with peanut allergy. Damnit. The review is spot on. Smoke, salt, and peanuts. It was refreshing to have that taste again.

The visitor center is burning down, and you're trying to avoid smoke inhalation. Luckily the velociraptors will be struggling with breathing too. Get out of there while they're distracted. A hefty amount of smoke, throughout the palate. Fortunately it never feels like an overload. It doesn't stay with you for very long, but make sure you give yourself time if you're trying another new whiskey afterwards.

Break out the chainsaw, and cut your way through the zombie horde, if you're out of good bourbon to help take the edge off. Good bourbon right here. Smells like honey-butterscotch at first whiff, turns into sweet tarts shortly after. Tastes similar to the four roses single barrel: typical honey and vanilla notes with very little bite.

Like being on vacation in the Caribbean when the zombiepocalypse hits. You're running for your life through the burning pineapple plantation. You guessed it.. smoke and pineapple wave through your palate. Little bit of brown sugar briefly. Smoke is prevalent, but not overpowering. Looks like chardonnay in your glass.

You'll want to rampage through a liquor store filled with zombies to get a bottle of this. Just watch your bullet spray so you don't accidentally clip this bottle. The flavors are all a bit subtle, except for the smoke. It's definitely the predominant taste. Before the smoke takes over, there's a rapid succession of flavors. Get somewhere safe, and celebrate your small victory over the horde with this scotch.

Time traveling zombie raptors would be in for a fight if they were trying to deprive me of this scotch. Most enjoyablr scotch I've had to date. Dried fruits and smoke. Neither are overpowering, nor do they abruptly fight for your tastebuds. Smooth as Teflon coated bullets on their way to those zombie raptors' skulls.

Holy. Remember when I said Stagg Jr would melt the skin of a velociraptor? This stuff will melt their bones. Avoid eye contact and flush immediately with water if contact occurs. Seriously hot. I'm sure there's good flavors to be found. Unfortunately my sample was so small that even with a little water on my second sip, I still really only had heat and oak.

Holy ..get the time machine ready. This is worth firing it up and going back to snag a couple of bottles while it was available. The potential pitfalls of altering the time line are worth it to get your hands on this bourbon. Heat up front, very smooth mid and late. A bit of a nutty taste, but not like basil dark rye.

Jesus Jones ..might as well take some jungle heat, some oak, and fear of being eaten by velociraptors, then mix it all into a stiff drink. I'd probably just let the raptors eat me, rather than chug a bottle of this to induce alcohol poisoning. Heat, oak, spice, and heat. Just not enjoyable.
