Spicy and grainy up front. Another slightly young, spicy but tasty juice. Green apples, rye spices, fruity bread. Short finishes, almost disappeared at first. I like it, and was nice in an old fashion, but not something I would use often. Good upgraded version from the normal product in its line.

Nose - floral roses and dark caramel, some rye spice and a hint of vanilla ice cream Palette - medium thick body, dark rich flavors, like dark caramel and some light rye and cinnamon Finish - lingering dark sweetness, slightly dry spice at the end, medium burn
A darker gold color raised expectations of stronger flavors. Very pleasant. Some vanilla notes and hint of maple with a smooth but shorter finish. Will drink this neat or with a single ice cube.
This is batch no: 223 Nose of maple with sweet spices & oak. Palate drinks the same but with the addition of rich dark fruit, think blackberry syrup, lovely stuff!
Nice woody and maple scent on the nose. Oak, maple, vanilla and grass in the palate. A short but smooth finish for a 100 proof.
Almost a rye quality with some sweetness, pine. Almost reminds me of eagle rare
