Virgin 101 7 Year Sampled in a Glencairn, the color is amber tending toward orange. A quick swirl yields skinny, oily and slow-moving legs. *Nose: Dusty Corn, Orange Peel, a Musty/Dusty Oak note with a little alcohol sting. *Neat: Hot and Slightly Bitter on entry with Vanilla Sweetness showing up mid-palate. The Orange Peel note dominates the slightly hot finish with a healthy dose of Cinnamon for good measure. Fairly thick and chewy mouthfeel with a decent Kentucky Hug. Slightly Bitter Oak and Cinnamon coat the palate after a medium length finish. *Splash: Adds an unidentifiable sweetness and a grassy note to the nose. Really helps the palate by making the Vanilla and Cinnamon notes a little more dominant start to finish. Also adds a touch of Chocolate. As an interesting side note, the nose on the empty glass was a dead ringer for Big Red Gum. *Verdict: 7 Year Old, 101 Proof Heaven Hill Whiskey for around $13-$15? Enjoy it while (and if) you can, folks. Put this in a pretty bottle and it could easily pass for a $30-$40 Bourbon. Instead, it's the best $13 Bourbon on the market, by a long shot. Not available everywhere, but if you can find it you will not be disappointed.
