Sweet and floral on the nose. Taste is more subtle than the smell would suggest. Notes of wheat and caramel. Very smooth with only a slight fire in the throat that barely carries into the belly. Aftertaste is sightly bitter and acidic.

Deep caramel and wood spice on the nose, a little spicy on first sniff. A sip brings on cereal grain and corn, fading into a sweet but fiery finish. Has depth but needs refining
Aroma of isopropyl alcohol. Tastes very heavy and burns, not a smooth sip. Needs to age longer for the flavors to develop. Would be best mixed with cola.
Nose: leather and fall leaves Palate: malted barley, leather Finish: short, not very hot Overall: nice pour but much more grainy than I remember
Did not love the first glass. Bland with nothing recognizable on the taste. Texture is similar to vodka which makes sense due to the grain.
Oak, vanilla notes on the nose. Oak, vanilla palate, full body and smooth. Little spice on the finish that lasts.
