Tastes

Really smooth and fruity on the palate. Vanilla is the most prominent note on the nose. I didn’t get a lot of oak like the 9 year which is surprising. Overall a great pour and reasonable price.

What a find at Red outside of Nashville.

The nose has some vanilla and cherry under a layer of slight booziness due to the higher proof. However, it’s unbelievably smooth for a cask strength with a pleasant finish that does disappear instantly but doesn’t linger for too long. A solid bottle for $54.

A little bland but smooth and good for sipping

For a readily available and affordable bottle, this stuff is a pretty solid pour. Definitely on the sweeter side but the leathery and oaky notes add a nice complexity. I’m excited to try the harder to find versions when (if) I can get my hands on them.
