Clyde May's 12 Year Cask Strength Alabama Style Whiskey

A nice red apple, leather and tobacco coupled with oak jumping out the glass. Very oaky on the palate. Which is totally fine with me. Caramel apple just dances on the tongue. The finish is long and strong. A very enjoyable dram! #E1BG

Neat in a glencairn, thanks for the sample @LandryG cheers! Nose: man, this smells just like an apple turnover with a sweet crumbly crust. Plenty of cinnamon, baked apples, sugar, vanilla, and a balanced oak presence. Palate: so gentle for being 120 proof, creamy like ice cream and does a great job coating the palate with a leathery espresso feeling. Finish: drops of quickly but has black tea, black pepper, and oak. Solid 90/100

Neat. Neck pour. Sneaky cask strength 12 year MGP labeled as Alabama Whiskey? Yes please. On the nose, oak and apple lead. The apple slices are covered in cinnamon and brown sugar. The oak is gorgeous. I have had dozens of 12 year MGP over the years and never gotten this much oak. Maybe had this level on some 14 or 15 years but those came off as over oaked though. This has that oak but with the 12 year depth. Vanilla bean. Coffee bean. Black tea. What the hell? This is hitting its own MGP flavor profile. Yeah it’s even coming together as a tiramisu. Getting red fruits now, bit of cherry. Wow. I want to keep smelling but I really need to take a sip before I go nuts. Please live up to the nose, please please please. Mouthfeel is fantastic, oily and dense and coating. Dark initially. Cinnamon and brown sugar, coffee bean up front. Lightens up mid palate. Vanilla and apple attack with uppercuts. The finish is more familiar MGP. Honey, graham cracker, chocolate, butterscotch. The oak really lingers on the finish - slight bitterness but not a turn off. Vanilla comes back in waves during the finish. Delicious! It didn’t blow me away on the taste like it did the nose but it didn’t let me down either. This is a unique flavor range for MGP. I would buy another if I had a chance.

Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon butter

Heavy nose, met with soft but developed flavors

Cinnamon butterscotch

Not 12 year Slightly nutty, sweet, smooth. Easy drinking. Wouldn’t run out and buy a bottle But wouldn’t turn it down
