Member Ratings and Notes
Adam
 
Nose is sweet, with honey, and notes of something like gunpowder.  Palate is quite sweet and tasty.  A little alcohol-y.  There's not much else, but I like it enough.  Finish is long and hot.  To note, I was saved by a few bottles of this on my honeymoon, when it turned out to be the only "good" whiskey every bar in the area had. (Special notice to Bora Bora distributors: Seriously?  Really?)  Nothing to celebrate here, but it's decent stuff.  (Barrel No. 5-3071, 4/23/05)

nose, typical Jack, except with more charcoal.  Honey and lemon.

 

palate is pretty much the same.  Runs hot.  Meh.

 

Fuji
 

N: Coconut oil, vanilla, varnish and spicy peppers
P: Predominately alcohol fumes
F: Crushed black peppers

 

This smells decent but it offered little in taste.  I guess the "alcohol fumes" I refer to is what adam would call "alcohol-y."(Bottle No. L-22 Barrel No.7-3178 Date 8-15-07)
