Not only is this drinkable but even smoother than last night. Very smooth, nice round flavor. I tasted caramel first then cinnamon. Very enjoyable
ReplyDeleteColor: amber
ReplyDeleteNose: really sweet, peach
Taste: sweet, soft oak, sweet malt?
Finish: easy, smooth, soft
I’m with Ethan. This one is flavorful while being super mellow and easy drinking. I’m thinking this is one of the lower proof whiskeys of the bunch. And I can’t wait to find out which one it is.
Color: dark amber
ReplyDeleteSmell: spicy, woody, and cinnamon-y. Smells great
Taste: I wish I were better at identifying tastes so I could adequately describe this flavor but it’s smooth and a little spicy and has a sweet, lip-smacking finish that seems to rise to a crescendo with a kick. Really like it.
Now that we've had the reveal, I'm really surprised by this one. I would not have guessed it to be a rye. I think maybe I've only had the barrel-strength version of this previously and I found it pretty spicy and a little hot. Which is kind of the opposite of what I got from this bottle. But maybe the lower proof (84) is where this whiskey shines.
