Tastes

Nose: Super sweet with heavy notes of fruit Pallet: Nothing overall exciting but pleasant. Finish: Hint of lingering heat and then calms down to a long fruit finish. This has been in the cabinet for a couple of years and the time has really done it good. I will get another bottle, crake it open and let it sit.

Had it twice yesterday, for the price I’ll pass on getting another bottle. Still the best Ezra I’ve had. It’s very smooth for 114proof and dry but just flat overall in my opinion…

To answer, yes, good nose, good oak and smooth. It’s like what you think JD should be… don’t pass it up

Nose: changed after opening up, lots of caramel and almost sweet. Pallet: No 95/5 and no pine. Some overall spice with a little heat. Dry. Finish: Before a touch of water it was hot, now it’s just a little heat and then it’s gone but the pallet does linger. Started with no water but didn’t get much out of it, really opened up with a touch of water. I get a dryness if i drink to much Blantons, if Blanton was a rye, it would be a lot like this.

What a nose and I actually get a little banana on the pallet. For 90 proof there is lots of oak and flavor. The finish does have some oak and bitterness or char which is interesting but a bit sour. Wish this had an age statement or a reference to how much longer it was aged to see if it was really the lower entry proof or more time in thr barrel. I only have a store pick for regular Woodford so it’s completely different.

Enjoying a couple of oz with large cube of ice. The ice mellows everything out, bring out heavy note of vanilla and with a dry spice finish. Think I’ll have another

Nose: Earthy, with some typical dry rye. Breath in to deep and the vapors will get you. Pallet: Heavy sage, thyme and pine Finish: Spicy but in a pleasant way. Hard to change to a different pour after this. Wonder if the other Redwood’s have this same unique profile?

Nose: Smokey berries Pallet: Balanced rye and oak Finish: Dry oak spice Leaves just enough dryness and spice to keep you sipping. This is more oak forward than most will like but it works really well in this blend.

Having in a large rocks glass with no ice. Just a great classic pour!

Nose: Now that it have opened up it was softened to buttery with dry barrel notes. Pallet: Tart fruit with a spice that covers the tongue. Finish: Full proof spice finish that lingers long enough. The best part of this pour tonight. Does it live up to the hype… in past samples hit has but tonight it’s falling a touch short. Must be one of those night.
