Member Ratings and Notes

Fruit, burnt sugar, licorice, chocolate and vanilla.  Not quite the 14 Yr, but a good deal none the less.

This is supposed to be a blend of different vintages averaging around 8 yrs old. Doesn't have the character of the cask-designated releases, but quite enjoyable in its own right. Toasted oak with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla. A great introduction to Black Maple Hill, and quite a deal at around $35.

Very accessible and agreeable, rather sweet with a notable but balanced amount of wood influence.  Novice and advanced bourbon drinkers alike should enjoy this one, and I would kind of qualify it as a more-sophisticated type of "party whiskey."  B/B+   (Circa 2008)
Dan
 
Medium gold/amber color. The nose has very sweet corn and a nice layer of vanilla. The palate is rich and smooth with some oak, spice and vanila. A nice finish with a good lingering draw. Overall, very balanced (and a great value). [3/6/12]
