Fable & Folly 14 Year Whiskey

Spicy up front and a little spice after. Spice drowns out a lot of other notes. Little sweet and light fruit flavors. Oak and leather give way to more spice. Overall not bad but would nver buy this at the price of $130ish. Low rating for the value.

Light with little spice. Not bad but falls a little flat. Light fruit taste. Great nose with sweet fruit notes.

Don’t get me wrong it’s good. But for everything that went into this and the price point I’m fairly disappointed. For around the same price you can find bottles that have way more depth and are far superior. I’m going to pass on this expression if offered to buy it again. Try a pour before buying.

Finally opened the bottle that was staring at me for several months. On the nose, I recognize a note that I normally relate to Rye... a little grassy and minty. This was surprising, as according to various sources, the blend contains whiskeys that with mash that were about 6% Rye. I got a little oak, but not too much, some vanilla, or brown sugar, and maybe tobacco or leather. On the palate, the mint was there, but lightly; species and peppery (maybe), but with a sweetness that smooths things out. The finish was smooth, but a little light and short for me. At 45% ABV, is not too harsh, nor too warm, so it's easy to sip. The whiskey coated the glass very well, Does this means anything? I don't know, but sometimes you hear about "coating" and "legs" and other terms that push people to believe that thicker legs is a characteristic of a good quality dram. Overall, I am not disappointed with this whiskey, considering the price tag. I think is different, good, and easy to sip and what else can I ask for. If the finish was a little longer, it would have been a 4+ for me.
