This is the Binny’s Single Barrel pick, so it’s unique. Nose: high-proof heat with some caramel/butterscotch sweetness and undertones of green apple. Perhaps (very tentatively) some mint. Palate: the high proof and caramel carry over to coat the tongue all the way to the back of the throat, leaving some light oak back there with it. Apple sweetness floats lightly around the mid-palate atop the linger baking spices. The long finish is welcome because of it’s warm pie intimation.

Color is light. Nose is strong, with heavy notes of fruit (orange and cherry) maybe some fig newton and young grain. Its young but not terribly noticable. Definitely sweet, i can see the honey note. Shorter or medium finish. Nice, first try at the pinhook line
Blind tasted this along with Johnny Drum and Whistlepig. This ranked #2 in my mind. Little order, spicey at first. After an ice cube the sweetness exploded.
Nose: clove and honey, sweet no ethanol Taste: butterscotch candies Finish: crisp with warm, sweet pie Very surprised how good this is.
Nose: apricot, floral, some peachy/fruity good-ness. Vanilla and fluffy. Very inviting. Butterscotch finish!
Smooth drinking, good flavor and mellow on the bit le even at 100proof
