On a visit with some friends out of state, my buddy happened to visit the JD Distillery prior to me visiting and grabbed this Tasters series and shared with me. Baking spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, allspice (duh). Sweetness of brown sugar, caramel. First draw tingles the palate with a touch of sweetness. Buttery texture. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, milk chocolate, vanilla, honey and black tea. Wood and baking spices, brown sugar and vanilla fade out and the wood tannins leave the palate slightly dry. A nice, spicy JD. The proofing at 50% is spot on. A good sipper on an Autumn evening. I like the experimentation and the “daring “ to try different things. Sometimes things work. Sometimes they don’t. This works.
