Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Sweet and floral with some deeper notes of dark chocolate and coffee.
P: Quite woody, almost tea-like, with distinct tastes of dry tobacco leaf. Dry on the palate but then...
F: ...gets sweet for a moment on the finish before going dry again with a hint of mildew.
All was going well in this single barrel until the very finish with that moldy off-note.

Sku

Nose: Corn, with a good dose of rye.
Palate: Old school Bourbon, caramelly and sweet with muted rye in the background. Tasting blind, I actually pegged this for an old ND Old Taylor. It doesn't have the strong rye notes I generally associate with Buffalo Trace.
Finish: Candy Corn.

Good and drinkable in the B/B+ range.
