Springhill Liquors Single Barrel Pick #426 Spiced citrus, and creamy on the front. Dark fruit and maybe a little dark chocolate on the back end. Very happy with this store pick

Springhill Liquor Single barrel #373 Great nose. Surprisingly low heat, while finishing with rye and vanilla with a hint of cinnamon.

Nose - caramel, vanilla, cherry, sweet floral notes, orange, anise, allspice, clove, chocolate, apple, oak, dry herbal notes, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - salted caramel, vanilla, apple, ginger, sweet floral notes, anise, leather, clove, grass, cocoa, cinnamon, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium short with caramel, vanilla, and baking spice flavors. George Remus is a new brand for me, but MGP isn’t. I’m expecting some decent high-rye bourbon, and I think that’s what we have here. The nose is classic bourbon with some added rye spice. Nothing more, nothing less. The palate follows the same trajectory. Good flavors, leaning bright and youthful, but it’s not harsh or unpleasant. The mouthfeel and finish are average. I don’t have too much to say about this one. It’s better than average bourbon. More time in the barrel would improve it. Review over. Many thanks to @pkingmartin for the generous sample! I’ll be diving into a few Remus Repeal releases next.

Solid bourbon, especially for the price. It has held its own in a few blind tastings against BT, calumet 8/14, beat wiseman. Brown sugar, dark fruit, oak and spice.
