Nose - earthy, spicy, and herbal, tobacco and leather, some dry rye slices, some sweet dark toffee undertones Palette - thick and oily, leather and oil up front, spice and herbs, rich dark sugars at the back, some dried apricots and citrus peel, a bit of sweet brown sugar Finish - spicy and oily, lingers long, pretty solid heat
Nose: apples, citrus, ethanol Palate: barley, peanuts, butterscotch Finish: very short, some oak Better than I was expecting...similar flavor profile to Evan Williams Bottled in Bond despite the differences in mashbill and cost. Edit: getting some heavy malty funk that’s off putting.
Sweet and caramel on the nose. Orange flavor and a little floral. Very smooth for its ABV and overall was great on ice.
Tastes much more like a scotch than bourbon. Smooth and good flavor, would never guess this taste to be a bourbon
Smells of dusty hay barn- a lot like willett- tastes of hay and very spicy orange flavor
Not loving it. Off tasting, can’t describe it. Seems heavy on the oak.
