Tasted May 23, 2022Nose: Right up front you get honey roasted peanuts, oak, and brown sugar sweetness. Digging a little deeper we find soft vanilla and caramel notes, and maybe a touch of milk chocolate. There may be the slightest hint of cherry down in there as well along with a black peppery bite. The nose makes you work a little bit, the notes don’t jump out of the glass. Palate: Not as sweet as the nose would lead you to believe. The front of the palate is a bit muted by tannins in my opinion. I’m missing that caramel punch that the nose provided. Mid palate is where is bourbon shines. It begins with a darker chocolate note, then goes into a payday bar, and finishes with a stronger cherry note and some oak. Finish: The finish is decent here. It’s a bit drying, sweet with milk chocolate dipped cherries, and a touch of pepper. Final rating: 7.7/10 If you like darker, oakier whiskeys this might be the one for you. I’m personally much more a fan of that cream brûlée, fruit, and spice balance I get from wild turkey products. All in all a good bourbon, just don’t know if it’s worth the price tag for me. -

Tasted May 22, 2022Way too much barrel spice to be enjoyed neat. Only notes I got were barrel spice, vanilla, and caramel. It got downgraded in my bar to only on the rocks or in an old fashioned. It does get better in both situations, but it should be good neat first and foremost with the price tag it carries. Wild Turkey 101 is better than this and it's less than half the price! -

Tasted May 22, 2022Nose: Lighter than expected for a 12 yr but traditional bourbon notes. Pallet: Caramel with some Smokiness Finish: Nutty It’s enjoyable with finishing half the bottle this weekend with being a good sipper but nothing truly notable except it’s good bourbon with a Knob Creek heat.70.0 USD per Bottle -

Tasted April 28, 2022Second bottle of this. First pour was underwhelming. Let it sit for a week or two and man did those oak, vanilla and caramel notes come out. Drank neat. Finish was proof appropriate. Can't beat a 12 yr for $6060.0 USD per BottleBayway World of Liquors
