Tastes

Nose: sweet sweet oak, caramel, butterscotch Palate: rich, oily, oak, vanilla, orange, leather, caramel Finish: long and low strength. Leather and more oak. Touch of vanilla Honestly, this goes toe to toe with 1910. Need to do a side by side. 7 on the t8ke scale

Nose: oak, spice, cherry, vanilla Palate: thick and viscous for the proof. Nice mouthfeel. Apple, caramel, nice sweetness Finish: long and dry, so lovely. Well worth the hype. Really exception, a 9 on the t8ke scale

Nose: malt, funk, vanilla, orange peel Palate: orange, spice, brown sugar, vanilla, grain Finish: oak dryness, medium length, orange peel shines Lovely foray into double cask. Tasty and would gladly have again. 6 on the t8ke scale

Nose: oak, seasoned wood, peanut, smokiness, feint caramel Palate: salted caramel, cherry, oranges. Slight rye spice. Very rich with the proof playing nicely Finish: medium in length. Leather, chocolate, oak, caramel. Outstanding. Might be a new favorite next to KC12.

Nose: gingerbread cookie, molasses, alcohol burn Palate: pine mint tones, sugar sweetness, maple, gingerbread Finish: longer finish, more pine and spice. Artificial medicinal taste. Good finished the. Glad I got to try, not something I’m clamoring for. 5 on the t8ke scale

Nose: weird funk that I can’t put my nose on. Smells almost like scotch Palate: pretty thick. Getting a little bit of the cognac. Bit of spice Finish: weird, dry. Lingering cognac Liked it more than I thought. Not bad, 4 on the t8ke scale

Nose: oak, apple, sweet caramel Palate: no real depth of flavor. Surely an easy sip. Some oak, some bright fruitiness. Finish: chocolate, leather and oak. Some nuttiness Enjoyable sip but overall pretty forgetful. Glad I got to try but wouldn’t pay for a pour or buy a bottle

Nose: chocolate fudge and mint spice dominate, brown sugar/vanilla/caramel, some fruit sweetness Palate: caramel apple, nice bright fruit sweetness with some acidity. Proof is on display beautiful. Cinnamon and apple Finish: hot, all chocolate and leather. Nice balanced oak. Would for sure buy this again. Best four roses I’ve ever had. Wow, 8 on the t8ke scale

Nose: oak and cinnamon are prominent. Layers of ethanol, vanilla, brown sugar Palate: spice, pepper, and summer fruits. Nice balanced richness with crazy mouthfeel. Finish: straight dark chocolate, leather, oak, spice. Finish lingers long but medium in strength Certainly better than the SiB but not by a large amount. Proof is perfect. The mouthfeel and creaminess is the real winner here. 7 on the t8ke scale

Nose: subdued. Oily, rye spice, vanilla Palate: oily with floral, spice, chocolate. Great 4R mouthfeel. Brown sugar, bright fruit Finish: lingers very long. Leather, oak, mint, floral notes. This finish is pretty crazy Good amount of flavor. Not crazy depth but the pour is just enjoyable with the mouthfeel and finish. 7 on the t8ke scale, would like to keep this as a regular rotation on the shelf
