Tastes

I like this delightful drinker because it's sooooo smooth. Not much complexity but a nice supper. Nose is oak and Graham crackers. Woody, leathery, and vanilla on the palate. Light bodied due to it being watered down to 80 pf.

Caramel, white oak, and vanilla on the nose. Woody on the palate with caramel and vanilla on the back. The finish is more vanilla wafers and creme. Creamy.

I started nosing leather, shoe polish, tobacco, and oak, with a hint of cinnamon. The palate is a meld of cloves, brown sugar, toffee, and buttered popovers. The finish is more caramel and cinnamon sugar like cinnamon toast with cinnamon sugar on it instead of maple syrup. Mind you, this is the neck pour. Repeated sips discover an oakiness with more buttered toast. Buttery indeed like buttery caramel on toast. Not quite dulce de leche but like melted butter on caramel on toast. It's solid at least from the neck pour of a 15 year. It has a nice body. Makes me want to make buttered toast and drizzle caramel over it.

Past the oakiness of the barrel wood, the nose reveals notes of vanilla and butterscotch, as well as a slight fruitiness. Further oxygen brings notes of amaretto, almonds, and macaroons. On the palate reveals toffiness with some cotton candy toward the back. A little allspice as well as a hint of maraschino cherry. The finish has a slight toastiness with molasses and brown sugar. With a medium-bodied mouthfeel, the Lucky Thirteen reveals a lot after the neck pour. Not the most complex but certainly delivers enough to keep the pour interesting and satisfying.

Spicy and woody on the nose. A little bit of maple brown sugar and tangerines and challah bread. The palate is sweet and fruity on the initial sip with light syrupy mouthfeel. Agave and dried apricots on the mid palate with some baked figs. The finish is oaky with a hint of corriander and other baking spices like cloves and cumin. A solid pour from a solid label. "The aroma has a nice sweet and spiced character to it with maple, vanilla, and toasted oak standing out

Past the strong notes of alcohol are sweet notes of vanilla ice cream from a creamery with pralines. Further inhales bring smoked apples. On the palate is a blast of buttered bread, peanut butter, and toasted peanuts, with dark chocolate and hazelnut coating the back end. The finish is smooth with nougats. As the whiskey opens up, the nose reveals fresh toffee and caramel, with palate really emphasizing dark chocolate with a hint of fudge. An excellent whiskey if you can find.

Sweet and fruity nose meets you with hints of almond, macaroons, vanilla, and fresh raisin bread. The palate greets you with cinnamon french toast with baked pears.

The aroma of plums and figs bring you to a sense of sensory purity, followed by the sweetness of burnt sugar found on the creme brulee. The palate has a sweetness of dried apricots and dates, followed by buttered cinnamon buns and a hint of toffee. This whiskeys whips other whiskeys for not measuring up. This whiskey is magical, very magical.
