2014, barrel 2018, rickhouse N, floor 5, Super Market Liquor & Wine. Fresh nose, like a crisp spring day. On the palate, a burst of sweet flavor that drops off precipitously, but there is a lingering spice. Some fruit. Very sweet at first, like marshmallows, but the finish is very dry. This is interesting. A bit of funk as well. Well done. 4 stars. 11/2/18 16-489, rickhouse M, floor 5-24-3, Gordon's Fine Wine & Liquors. Nose is different, lots of brown sugar and honey, not as much alcohol. Smells sweet. After a while, more vanilla. Tastes sweet as well, although not as sweet as the nose suggests. Honey. Some pecan nibs on the finish. Proof hits you at the end. But still very drinkable. Different than most other RR's I've had. Honey barrel. 4 stars. 11/2/18 17-0669, rickhouse D, floor 6 2 1, Gordon's Fine Wine & Liquor. Minty, almost herbal nose. Some vanilla as well. Rich. on the palate, strong flavor, deep caramel. Pleasant spice. Lingering oak and bitterness. 3.5 stars. 17-0735, rickhouse D, Floor 6, Durham's ABC "The Bull City". Lots of dill on the nose. Almost sour. Sweet notes as well. Smells like sweet and sour sauce, the neon red kind. With a dash of dill. On the palate, spicy up front, but softens towards the end. Fruit punch notes, Hawaiian Punch. Lingering warm spice. Some bitterness at the end. What a weird roller coaster bourbon. But very interesting. 3 stars. 11/2/18 18-0449, rickhouse A, floor 4 7 2, Bay Ridge "Bourbon Geeks." Strong, but standard, nose. Intense. Vanilla taffy. Funky on the palate. Leather. Drier than the nose suggests. Straightforward. Warm finish, but not spicy. A splash of orange zest at the end. 3 stars. 11/2/18 Standard RR Single barrels, 2017 bottling. Dill and sweaty gym clothes on the nose. I always get cardboard with standard RR single barrels. Stings the nose. Very spicy on the palate initially, but drops off quickly. Cardboard. Some sweetness, and zest. 2.5 stars. 11/2/18
