2021 release Bottle 2176 of 2284. Batch 21F1893 91.3 proof Deep copper color Soft bourbon sweet nose Immediate sweet caramel on the tongue. Beautifully layered with slight rye licorice, burnt toast, sweet corn, nutty body with good viscosity. Finish is long with some citrus notes, caramel, slight chocolate. Very well done.

Amazing what the toasted barrel did to mellow this out. More caramel and vanilla in the nose, no citrus like the I toasted version, bite is gone, now very smooth, great Viscous body, hints of smoke and root beer on the palette, baking spices move in like ginger and licorice, then the toast and peanut comes in. Finish medium to long finish that is dry and oaky, warm. Excellent barrel finish

Slight citrus and vanilla in the nose, palette has hints of chocolate, and herbs like oregano, does have a bite to it. Toast and peanut, starts to creep in, but the finish is short to medium length, great for an old fashioned, and would be a good everyday sipper if it wasn’t for that bite. Another 2 years in the barrel might subdue that.

Batch 75. Copper colored. Almost like a Mitchers nose: vanilla, honey, peanut on the nose. Not very sweet, but the honey and toast flavors in the mid palette, great body, slightly viscous, medium length finish. Unique flavor profile.

Very light copper color, herbal nose, dill. Very smooth, not sweet, more botanical and dill, a slight candy flavor on the finish which is medium, but overall for a 2 year whiskey, very well done.
