Tastes

Nose: soft vanilla apple, slight oak Palette: way different than V. Flavors are softer, they dance very nicely on the tongue. Sweet honey. Soft rye spice of minty dill, baking spices, long finish with again, soft tannins. Very enjoyable.

Nose is rich. Heavy fruit notes like fig and apple, graham cracker. Caramel. Palette: slight sweet with caramel, vanilla, some citrus notes, viscous body that is so well balanced with fruit and oak. The sweet flavors linger long, with more oak. Candied fruit is the best I can do to explain the finish. Excellent.

Nose: sweet corn and caramel Palette: some cola on the front, taffy, some burn, anise, slight cinnamon, medium length finish. Graham cracker and slight pepper on the back. A few drops of water help to tame the alcohol and bring out the flavors.

Sweet licorice nose, very butterscotch-y. Pallet: much more viscous than BRT-02. Not too sweet, but great caramel flavor with a slight hint of vanilla. More wood grain character, almost like you can taste the wheat, like bread, not toast, and cereal. Hints of cherry cordial. Longer finish on this one than 02, guessing more tannins. The body is more enjoyable with the larger temperature swings, brings out more oak flavors.

Barrel 21 Nose: grassy hexanal, slight vanilla and cinnamon Taste: sweet up front with cinnamon and orange, butterscotch, dill, licorice, then nutty and graham cracker towards the back. Exhale has bubblegum candy. Finish: long and sweet, not very spicy. Peanut brittle.

Nose caramel and marshmallow Taste: good grain and caramel peanut brittle, mod pallet has some mint and cinnamon, finish is long and dry and sweet. Slight rye spice that is balanced with sweet corn

Barrel SB-19 bottle 39 110 proof Nose: rich, buttery, some mint and graham cracker Taste: rye spice, not too sweet, but good body to it. Nutty and vanilla, baking spices like cinnamon and anise. Slight port starts to move in. Finish: long and slightly dry, fruit like grape and fig. Some chocolate too.

Nose: citrus with a single malt note. Faint char and vanilla. Taste: sweet. Not very complex and light bodied. Chocolate shines through on the back palette like a tootsie roll with a hint of cinnamon. Lots of corn. Wish it had more body to it. Finish has good dry tannins, maybe a cheerio note there.

Barrel no 7500, bottle 146, 115.20 proof. Daveco select Some sweet corn and raisin on the nose. Slight grassy note. Mouth feel is different. Slightly sweet with a honey nut up front. Pretty dry, seems like some rye notes coming through with anise and a slight Willett rye note, but not as strong. Medium finish that is nice and dry, oak tannins.
