Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Nutty and spicy oak, citrus.
P: Buttery and fruity. Tasted blind, I thought this was maybe a well used refill sherry cask based on the spice and fruit. Balancing sweetness.
F: Clean and tasty.
Very good.

Sku

Nose: big on fruit with malty notes.

Palate: light sherry taste (yes I know it's a Bourbon cask, but I tasted it blind and I got some sherry), not much substance.

Finish: short

Adam

Oooh. OOOH. Awesomeness. Citrusy, green, very minty (especially in the finish, garden mint) and refreshing. Somewhat dry, but not as much as the age would imply. Peppery, spice-cabinet-y. I'm glad the other guys don't like this as much as I do, because I will be hoarding this bottle at the next couple meetings.

Dave

A wonderful fruity nose with spicey crispness. Pallate however is not more than a B. Add water to get some sweeter fruits back but still weaker than the nose fortold. A- nose and B pallate makes this a B+.

Andy

Nose: Rotten apple

Palate: Old oatmeal
