Compared with Amrut Portonova (a weird comparison, I know), this tastes weak. It's dry with a lot of cherry going on. It's very different from the Woodford Reserve Double Oak because it is kind of mild and very fruity and mineral. There's a bit of a fullness in there balancing it out, but it is not terribly rich. It doesn't have that usual young flavor, so that is nice at least. There is some rye tartness here but there is also some malted sweetness. That little bit of caramel and hint of smoke really help to round it out. This is quite drinkable even though it wouldn't make it high on my list. The wood is clearly there, but it is lightly present. This tastes lightly aged but it also doesn't pick up any bad notes from the wood. That fruity sweetness is smooth and refreshing. There's some vanilla and cherry Pepsi presence, but it is all tactful. A little Bitter alcohol comes through, but it is surprisingly mild considering the delicate nature of this drink. Yeah, it's good. The finely executed flavors are nice, but it just isn't my kind of drink.
