Tastes

Batch 44 Nose - at a cigar bar, everything smells delicious idk Palate - oily, hot, chewy, typical baking spices with brown sugar and a hint of cherry Finish - long legs in the glass and a nice long finish, smooth, sweet nice for sure, reset the palate with some water to get the notes pronounced

Very smooth, sweet corn for sure, love the nose. Can’t find these anymore so try if you can

Exceptional nose - cherries and light spice, very inviting. Palate is medicinal with notes of cherry and dark chocolate. Light and spicy. Smooth finish, very well done.

No surprise here, great nose filled with oak and spice. Slight caramel, but overall decent. Finish isn’t anything to write home about.

N - exceptional, dark chocolate and cherry hints P - no surprise here, low rolling rye and spice with some sugary notes F - quite lasting, fades off nicely from the spicy rye Reminds me of a milder lot 40 cask strength

Best of the 2019 lineup so far, rich nose, sweet and smooth

N - leather, oak, bit of pepper, light and floral P - rich and oily, slight medicinal note with a cherry trail on the end F - sweet and smooth, everything you’d wish for in Blantons Not a fan of the original but this is something special

Nose is incredible, no hint of alcohol but sweet cherries and slight tea notes, leather. Palate is sweet, rich with essentially apple pie that compliments a long finish. No burn whatsoever.

Honey, brown sugar, spearmint hints, orange zest on the nose. Palate is complex, I’m getting dark chocolate and hints of cherries, oak is heavy. Light heat going down on the finish. Give it a minute or two to open up, it’s a clash of flavors. Edit: think 1910 on steroids - this is it

Nose is light floral and leather, dried fruit, apples. Palate is sweet and light, vanilla with tones of cinnamon. Pleasant finish, really enjoyed this one.
