Tastes

Smells young, but less so on the palate (although young notes are still there). Intense heat. Cherry syrup lingers. 10/12/19

Ah, muted but familiar rye nose, slightly herbal, MGP. Black tea and Pepsi on the palate, then a burst of dill that lingers. Smooth for the proof. Ends with charred wood and bitterness. Great on profile bottling. 9/2/19

Mild nose, at least initially. Fresh linens. Cola on the palate, with herbs and caramel. Good spice. Sweet yes, but the finish goes between sweet and dry, interesting. Fantastic. 9/2/19

Some musty barrel notes on the nose, that I tend to get with wine finishes. Herbal, clove honey notes, nice spiciness. Musty dark fruit that lingers. Long finish, with a hint of chocolate. Another solid offering from Bardstown. 9/2/19

Light nose. Initially spicy, but drops off quickly. Slight floral palate. Young and bitter notes, but not overwhelming. A slight, sweet, cola note at the end. This is nice. 9/2/19

Smells like apple cider, with a hint of malt. Smooth, white chocolate. Fruit and a hint of cacao nibs. Very pleasant sipper. 9/2/19

This is the 2017 bottling. Very light, slightly musty nose. Slight honey after a minute, gets more syrupy with time. On the palate, smooth for the proof. Reminds me of sweet tea, a fruity tea with honey. Lingering spice in the back of the throat. The finish is one note, of spice, but it lasts forever. Nice and pleasant pour. 8/24/19
