Tastes

Signficantly better than the gross 2023 year release. 2023 was sickly sickly sweet. This one has some nice milk chcolate notes.

Really rich and flavorful. A darker, more charred vibe than the younger hp. Tastes high proof but dont bieve it is. Flavor bomb.

Little milder flavored than the 18. Noticably less peaty

Salty fruity peaty sweet

Man i usually love garrison brothers but i regret buying this bottle. Bitter, overly oaked, tannic, and missing all of that honeyed g bros sweetness.

Barrel was “harvest hymn”, 2024, purchased in denver. This is the best rye ive had in my life. Seriously, ive blinded it with all sorts of other ryes and this always wins. Better than parkers rye, any sagamore, handy, pappys 13. This rye is just unbelievably rich and sweet with this pumpkin note, and has this incredible luscious nose. I also side by sided with an 11 year willett and the 7 was wayyyy better. I think 7 to 9 years is just that sweet spot for rye.

Px and sherry cask dont work at all for laphroaig. Completely removes the medicinal peat that makes laphroiag fun. It is very balanced and drinkable but sad.

Rich sweet and fruity. Lightly sherry funked. Just the bomb dot com.

Pretty nice. Very rich and sweet and classic buffalo trace. Not obviously a rye. Little hot for my liking but the rich sweetness definitely was stronger than the alcohol.

I really dont like old forester. Gross bitter cough syrup notes all over.
