High West Cask Strength Bourbon

There's apple and vanilla that's easily on the nose. Almost dessert like. Nice burnt oak in there as well. Spice is present. The palate opens with spice and cinnamon. That apple and vanilla then come through as dark caramel and oak continue throughout to the finish. It's dark caramel heavy. The oak is present but well balanced throughout. Manages to have some decedent quality to it while the heat and oak are present. To be a bit critical, it tastes as if it's more proofy than it is. (I was a bit surprised by the proof on my single barrel bottle.) With that, it's still very easy to drink and very flavorful. I wouldn't sleep on this. Cheers everybody.

Heavy apple, has that high proof bite, and caramel and vanilla. And you also get a bit of char. Very nice flavor

Butterscotch!!!! With a backend of mint. Definitely get the barrel/oak taste with some spice. Really interesting whiskey

Nose: Summer fruit like peach or apricots. Cinnamon and fenel punctuate the expression with bits of toffee and oak filling the cracks. Taste: Cinnamon spice and learher greet the front of the palate with oak and green pepper in the rear. Mouthfeel: Warming with medium viscosity. Finish: Oak and spices linger and feed through the entire sinus. This was a small batch, store pick.
