High West Cask Collection, blend of straight bourbon whiskeys finished in cabernet sauvignon barrels

Nose: sweet cherry and light vanilla Taste: dry oak transitioning to a sweet cherry Finish: subtle oak with medium sweetness, mostly cherry with some vanilla

Nose: Strong vanilla and rish cherries, light red fruit Palette: Bitter, dry oak with a tart cherry and sweet vanilla throughout Finish: Short finish with the dry oak and cherry

Nose: a deep, rich, sweet cherry and vanilla Tasting: punchy oak flavor, with tart cherry Finish: short finish, with oaky bitterness and lingering cherry

Light vanilla/caramelly feel with a really warm, cozy finish. Can taste some of the oak/cabernet barrels. Really solid swig.

Nose of heavy oak, Cabernet, rye, pear, charcoal, vanilla. Palate sweet vanilla and fruit, oak tannins, dry cab, spicy rye; bold all around. Long spicy, oaky tannic finish. With a little water the tannins really open up and it smells more like the inside of a cabernet barrel than a bourbon and there’s a new chocolate covered cherry element. The flavors are all there but they blend better. Good either way, but I think the water really makes it shine. Procured in Santa Fe New Mexico with @twostal
