Reviewed July 1, 2022 (edited August 29, 2023)Batch 74: sweet leather and dark cherry nose, palate packs punch and disapates into tons of flavor, sweet baking spices, cigar, molasses, oak. Very long lingering finish (4.25) Batch 79: nose is every type of cake I can think of! Very complex palate, delicous (4.5) Batch 87: most of the same notes as 74, but a little more Armagnac influence on this bottle (4.75) Batch 188: does not compare ro other batches, still solid but little harsher (4/5) -

Reviewed June 19, 2022 (edited November 30, 2022)It’s pretty good. Drinks a little hotter/spicy than it’s proof though. I thought it was closer to 120. -

Reviewed May 5, 2022 (edited April 25, 2023)Always a treat when I get the honor of trying one of these. This sadly is just a sample i received, but I'll do my best here as always. This one is the seven swans a swimming batch 66 at 64.85. This likely is the barton/MGP blend with most likely the 21% rye MGP and I suspect we'll be in that 12-20 year age range. Those are at least my assumptions going in. Nose - Right off the bat this is a distinctly candied and very sweet example of cigar blend. Rye notes do come out, giving hints of smoke, leather, tobacco, and well just regular old rye. Lightly caramel covered apples are here, likely the barton notes. Here I get almost waxy fall leaves, not the generally just fall leaves but there's a bit of a wax over coat. Heavily spiced and some good citrus notes. I'm more in the apples going into lemon zone, but you could argue the spices might remind you of some type of orange influenced spiced product. Taste - Cinnamon and spice...chocolate cake or perhaps some dried pastry, vanilla, oak, leather, apple cider, mint leaves, and yes some grape notes. Very spicy, very tobacco/leather heavy for sure. The overall whisky is very sweet upfront and on the nose. And then really nicely spiced and oaky on the finish. Thinking the "kentucky" bourbon is 14+ year stuff which is really where that distillery hits a sweet spot. Going 3.75 stars. Maybe should be 4? Really exceptional bourbon. But you know me, I'm a hard grader.
