Batch 2 review (LL/JL)
Nose: sugar cookie. Hints of licorice. Confectionary sweetness, almost like a frosting. Subtle pop of oak at the end. nose is layered and robust.
Palate: oily mouthfeel. Spiciness from the high rye. Leather and dusty oak come in followed by an awesome chocolate note.
Finish: dusty oak and leather. Stront dark chocolate note. Finish doesnt last as much as i would like.
Overall: oak + wild turkey distillate is a great combo. Oak is certainly present but not as over powering as batch 3. Wish the finish was a good bit stronger.
Rating: 8 on the t8ke scale
