Chase McAllister 4.3

Nose: Cherry, vanilla, brown sugar, some corn. Smells like it might bite but not hard enough to scare you away! Body: Yummy. I’ve seen a couple of you calling it cherry cola. I think an even better comparison would be the Dr. Pepper Cream sodas I’ve been drinking lately. The cherry flavor is definitely there along with a crisp, creamy mouthfeel. Slightly Smokey as well. Finish: There’s some spice up front that quickly fades into a pleasant, woody sweetness that makes a lasting impression. My best comparison: black walnut ice cream

Interesting. Nose smells like vitamins a little bit of fruity too. It has a bit of Carmel to the tastes and not to much heat it has a chewable vitamin taste come up on the finish. It’s not bad but the little bit of vitamin taste isn’t the best and once you taste it it doesn’t go away. It would be a little bit higher rated if it weren’t 80 bucks or 13 and it being a 13 year old

Didn’t like this one much when I first got it, but decided to pull it out of the back of the cabinet. A little better than I remembered. Definitely wasn’t getting the strong vitamin flavor I remember (but was still slightly present). You either need to drink this neat or quickly on ice. Water brings out the vitamins.

Wow, spice and heat as soon as the first drop hits your tongue and follows all the way down the esophagus. Nose is a bit like vitamins and some of that is present on the palate. The remaining flavors are bold and reminds me a little of some of the 4 Roses Private Selects.

BlimpsGo90 4.5

Neat. 53.5% TN 13 years. Lots of sweet corn at first. Vanilla. Baking spice. Oak. Syrupy texture, brown sugar on the initial hit. Vanilla and oak on the taste. Lots of sweetness. Very very enjoyable. Super smooth, simplistic sweet treat.

54.9% ABV, batch number 13464 distilled in Tennessee. I can't get past the vitamin note; I dislike this immensely. I do recognize that it has more complexity and flavors under the vitamin that other people may enjoy, but I don't.
