Tastes

Heavy leather nose, does have flavor but the alcohol vapors over powers the taste profile (raw un-aged).

Think of this as your after dinner bourbon on a cool evening where you can still sit outside. Not much of a nose but smooth enough to hold over your entire pallet and let it set in. Sweet on the tip of your tongue with a spice that builds at it moves towards the rear. The after taste brings a hint of heat and port wine. The wine flavor is more prevalent through the entire taste than compared to the Angel Envy but the not as smooth of a pour. To completely different impressions.

Hot. Was expecting a lot more based on the hype. Sample before you buy. Not as good as the Old Tub.

Light spice on the nose. Smooth finish all around with a hint of spice. Just a slight tingle on the way down with a nutty after taste. Add a couple drops of water to open it up.

Heavy nose so breathe it in. Smooth on the pallet, great finish with a hint that wine finish.

One of my daily drinkers that I get my by 1.75 Ltr. Smooth up front with a pepper finish on the back. The vapor will get sometimes get me. Clean tasting bourbon but when I want something a little different this is not my pour.

Great nose and sweet notes in the flavor. Not as flavorful as the current Elijah Craig but is smoother.

Flavorful but harsh upfront on the tongue. After letting it breathe with some ice it got more mellow. Tasted against Elijah Craig and would pick that over the McKenna 10 year.
