Slipknot No. 9 Reserve Iowa Whiskey

Touch of cinnamon, decent vanilla

My first sip out of the bottle actually tasted pretty good with some spices and marshmallow flavor. However, once I poured a glass, I got a strange plastic and cherry cough syrup taste, which I think others have noted is probably a particular spice note, that unfortunately doesn't agree with me. Wanted to like this one as I really enjoyed the regular No9 but it's not doing it for me at all so far. They are very different so if you disliked No9, that doesn't mean you will necessarily dislike No9 Reserve.

Quite spicy and flavorful

White pepper spice. Honey and light caramel.

Banana bread. Lots of soft clove and pretty elegant light spice on the nose and taste, but very rich flavor throughout, and super sippable on and on and on. Really impressed with how this whiskey turned out. Cedar Ridge and slip knot nailed it!
