Nose - Creamed corn, candy corn, sweet cream, cotton candy, hay, splenda Taste - Caramel, vanilla, corn syrup, light astringent sweet, splenda-like sweet corn, sweet creamed corn Finish - Astringent sweet, light bitter, corn syrup sweet, splenda Score - 72/100 Final Thoughts - So right off the bat, this one smelled fairly young. It felt like this was barely aged and felt quite young and astringent. Loads of corn in various forms, but I just realized it felt a bit creamy/buttery most likely from the wheat. It had this sweetness that went back and forth from being splenda-like to being corn syrup like. Overall it wasn't horrible, but it definitely felt young and flawed. Would I drink it if offered? - No Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

Neck pour. Quite sweet and the rough edges I found from from the initial Pike Street expressions are largely gone. It is NAS vs. the original 3-year age statement, so this clearly has plenty of 4+ year in it. Butterscotch and oak on the nose. Roasted Minnesota State Fair sweet corn throughout from nose to taste to finish. Caramel and vanilla tastes pop at the beginning, but become very light with a hint of corn chips on the back end. Medium-to-long finish of corn cob and pepper. This one will be in the daily rotation for awhile.
