n:  Butterscotch, wintergreen, brine.  Nice.

 

p:  Hmm, beach mud.  Salty earth.  Smoke, iodine.  Noticably not sweet at all. This has almost everthything you'd associate with peat.  It's youngish and watered down but still good.

n:  deck sealer.  Not happy

 

p: Oats and solvent.  Nothing better to say.  This kinda sucks for Buffalo trace.  I tried this semi-blind with the 10, and this was worse.  I'm starting to the Eagle Rare is where BT dumps its waste.

 

C-, generously

n: not bad.  Butterscotch and moss

 

p:  Thin mouthfeel.  Youngish and simple.  The peat is obvious but somehow falls flat.  Earthy.  Reminds me of a weak Finlaggan.

 

Too much water, too little time in the barrel.  It's got character though.

Nose is like a sherry glazed donut (theoretically), with something vaguely minty hiding in it.

 

Palate is, ooh, sweet and a little cinnamony-Juicyfruity-pecan pie, but then the finish hits and WOW. A nice contrast as it grows very herbal and... wow, it's still going... yeah, bright herbal and leafy stuff. As I drink more, fruiter stuff peeks in (orange zest) and toasted nuts (walnuts?). But the main flavors here are all the things that strike me as oak-extracted, and delicious.

 

An excellent malt with many delicious layers to dissect. (Thanks Bryan!)

Nose:  Rust (not in a bad way), briny rye notes.
Palate:  Caramel corn, Cognac, slight apple notes, a good dose of rye and then back to sweet.
Finish:  sweet vanilla then some spice.

Classic Heaven Hill flavors.  [Note:  Due to the age and bottling date, this bottle would have been distilled at the old Heaven Hill distillery, before the fire.]

B/B+
