Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel and vanilla with a nutty almond note. Palate: Cinnamon, baking spice, oak. Finish: Long and very warm. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 7.5/10 - This is another bottle that I’ve had for a while and haven’t reviewed. The age and proof are apparent, but for the cost it doesn’t stand out as much as I’d like.

Aroma - grassy rye, old oak with vanilla. Berries with touch of marshmallow. Very nice Taste - Massive oak bomb with touch of rye and berries. Not much else other than that massive oaky presence. Awesome Overall - very good. Especially if you like a massive oak presence. 4.70
Probably one of the best bourbons i have tasted. Smooth, full, not too much heat and for me, a wonderful flavor of cherry hints throughout the taste. Not like a cherry flavored bourbon but just the perfect subtleness. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle if you see it!
Price is actually a 4 flight. Oak flavor with a touch of vanilla & caramel. Oak lingering finish with a touch of sweetness. Pairs great with dried bananas!
The nose has bright floral citrus notes with a hint of baked apple. The flavors are very complex with perfect amount of heat.
Awesome flavor with just a little bite. Great mouth feel. If it was a little smoother it would be a 5.
