Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Decent and unremarkable in a good way. Excellent party whiskey.

Chris

N: Deeply woody, some cherries, citrus, but mainly a heck of a lot of wood.
P: Very big full bourbon, almost fruity, with some of that Stitzel-Weller funky wheat. Tasted side by side with Pappy 15, this tasted rougher.
F: Candy sweet notes.

Dan

Vanilla, cinnamon and a soft wheat nose. Palate is a little flat with a back-end astringency. Very creamy. Solid. [12/23/14]

Andy

n: Unremarkable (dammit Adam used that). Not, um, much to remark about.

p: Pleasant and light. Sawdust and wheat. Leans a bit bitter, especially in the finish.

Fuji

N: Cocoa powder, black licorice, honey, vanilla and marshmallow

P: Initial burst of oak is follwed by black grape skin

F: Herbal
