Tasting Methodology: Neat in a Canadian Glencarin class. Rested 10 minutes. Nose: green apple, vanilla Mouthfeel: smooth. Palate: caramel Finish: nothing notable Rating: 7/10. Probably won’t get again. Price paid: $30 Value rating: 9/10 Overall: interesting fruit on the nose from the sherry
The harsh stringency of the nose worried me, but this ended up being kind of OK, especially after if had a minute to open up. I could see this as a passable mixer. There’s not a ton going on here, but the sherry casks give it a little taste profile and the mouthfeel isn’t too bad.
Tried neat. On the nares it’s hot with fruity alcohol like cherries soaked in alcohol and hints of oak. On the palate it’s hot on the palate with notes of wood and…. That’s all. I think this will be a great mixer for bourbon mules. Won’t be a sipper for me 🤷♀️.
Super delicious malted bourbon. Punches above it's price point. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so. I went back to Total Wine a week later to buy a few more and they were sold out. Bummer. If you see this buy it. A steal at this price.
The regular Winchester is nothing special but I quite enjoy this one. Good sipper with minimal ice.
Loads of oak, not bad for the price but alcohol did come through too much for drinking neat
