Hupperware 4.8

Neat, duh Glencairn Copita N: cinnamon raisin toast with some hints of banana P: Spice bomb! This hits the front of the palate like a clump of cinnamon sugar that didn't get mixed into the butter. You taste both the buttery richness but that sugar and spice is in your face. Phenomenal! F: Spicy with that tail of perfect oak.

brockrexius 4.0

Oak, banana, butterscotch and brown sugar on the nose. Creamy, almost frothy mouthfeel with plenty of heat on the backend. Tons of wet oak in the flavor profile with a drier-than-expected finish. A little bit of white pepper comes through upon further tasting. 4.12

whiskey whisky 4.0

Small Batch, ten years, 115 proof, released 2019. Smells like Sprite. Honey initially on the palate, then, balance. Slightly floral. Lingering spice, a decently long finish. Very good. 2/22/19

aboth24 4.5

Nicely split vanilla/honey rye followed by hints of maple syrup and molasses. Very spicy rye finish with salinity. Rich and oily. Less heat than the ABV suggests. Creative and excellent.

Golfboy 4.0

Lighter nose than 4 year. A little barrel finish. Good taste, but MGP, not the true Willett flavor profile. Not a high rye taste for 115 proof. Easy drinking for proof.

Golfboy 4.5

A little sweet tea smell. Has some burn, but not what you would expect for 123 proof. Sweet tea taste with the Willett flavor profile and slight char. Really good.
