Tastes

Nothing too crazy but there is a noticeable sherry note, cinnamon and oak. The finish is relatively smooth especially with ice.

I actually really liked this bourbon, there’s a good amount of cherry sweetness, caramel and oakiness. The finish is a bit long hot and has a little bit of spice but with some water it opens up with more vanilla and brown sugar.

I get apple, thyme, leather, oak and heavy spice.

There’s a caramel, heavy oak and char flavor. finish is a bit dirty.

Dry, I get heavy corn sweetness, apple and oak. The finish is also a bit dry with minimal spice

There is spice straight off the bat, menthol, licorice and a sweet maple/cherry flavor. the cherrywood smoke is evident but not as intense as most smokier scotches. The finish is hot, cinnamon spicy and long. With a small ice cube the sweetness opens up but the smoke is then more noticeable. The smoke itself tastes much like cherrywood but has a char and slight bitterness to it. I love anything Smokey so seeing this bottle I just had to see what it’s about. It’s nothing too out of this world but is a fun addition to my collection.

Very one dimensional. There’s recognizable oak flavor, a whisp of sweetness that’s ripped away by a dirty, acrid finish. It’s finish didn’t seem too long but it was a bit bitter and unpleasant. i just really wanted to see what a truly awful “whiskey” tastes like. i can literally only see this being used as a mixer, but even then the flavor is so awful that you should just spend the money on a cheap vodka instead. At least the vodka will only be astringent and not taste like dirt. Sorry KD fans!

I’m not a bourbon guy so this tasting gonna be a bit rough. I get slight notes of cherry and vanilla, there’s a heavier oak and char flavor as well as leather. The finish is a bit acrid and it’s not from the alcohol. the finish Isn’t very long, nor is it expectionally hot or spicy, but it’s a bit dry. I’m not a bourbon guy but this wasn’t something I’d probably ever buy to drink straight. Good for the price though.

The beginning is a bit light but transitions into some familiar scotch flavors. I pick up on some moderate peat as well as as some other wood smoke notes. I pick up on some char maybe from the barrel or the pear smoking. There’s some lime and hay in the beginning but there’s some sweeter cherry notes In there. It’s a bit underwhelming, but it’s not a bad whiskey. I enjoyed this one a lot as I don’t find a lot of peated American stuff. Neat has a lot more robust flavors, addition of water or ice highly diluted flavor so I’d recommend drinking neat or chilled
