The nose is pretty decent with some brandy like sweetness and some solid rye spice. It actually smells like it has some age on it. The palate is also nice and spicy with some wood notes and a nice sweet, caramel note at the end. The finish retains that sweetness and again gives some brandy type notes.

Despite the four year age statement, this tastes much older than four years; it has that rich, caramel flavor that I've seen in older bourbons from the '70s. I'm guessing this one is a glut whiskey, filled with older stocks that the distilleries didn't know what to do with back when bourbon supplies far outstripped demand.

B/B+

Nose: Massive peat, some sweet white wine notes.

Palate: Sweet peat in good balance.

Finish: Rock candy on the palate, peat on the nose.

This isn't complex, but it's a great peat monster with some Ardbeg like characteristics.

Distilled April 29, 1983  KBD Warehouse G, Rick N17

Bottled for the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, KY.    211 Bottles

This has a really concentrated nose of sandalwood, molasses and brown sugar. It starts spicy and goes sweet. On the palate it's thick and syrupy with sandalwood, plenty of wood and sweet wine.
The finish has mulled wine spices and cloves.

Really fantastic stuff!

N: Nice mix of light leather, slight mushroomy earthiness, a little white pepper, some rich dried fruit notes; a little orange, some fig, and believe it or not, a very faint hint of madras curry.

P: Very thick and mouth-coating; clear sherry presence, a little pepper and it gains some heat. Slightly nutty; reasonable wood presence. A touch of black pepper and some dried fruit.

F: Nutty and wood, sweet with dried fruit and sherry, dries toward wood with some apple skin. Quite big and lasting.

Very dense, nicely nuanced. Very little I'd change except for maybe dialing the pepper back a touch.  A-/B+

Palate: Massive, fruit bomb sherry, sweet and fruity, some vanilla, then a bit salty.

Finish: Salt and pepper.

Beautifully done.

200 mL.  The Bourbon deLuxe Distiller Co.  Frankfort,Clermont, Ky

n: Very very faint

p:  Weak version of something average.  Certainly a smooth sipper.  Too smooth. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Nose: Very light nose with some rye spice/briny notes.

Palate: Sweet with rye spice, some slightly tangy/savory notes, maybe some sweet BBQ sauce

Finish: Corn on the nose and spice on the palate.

A nice pour, pretty straightforward with some nice rye notes.

Distilled 01-18-93        Bottled: 03-23-12

Bottled for The Party Source

Nose: Nice and oaky with some sweet candy notes and maple syrup in the background.

Palate: Sweet with lots of oak, chewy mouthfeel, maybe a slight acidity

Finish: A bit acidic with some candy notes.

Nose:  Very medicinal, white wine notes and malt in the background.

Palate:  Peaty and sweet with floral notes, light and perfumy

Finish:  Floral on the palate but a strong peat and exhaust (in a good way) on the nose.

Light and drinkable.  I'd guess some '80s Bowmore balanced out with just enough Laphroaig to douse the FWP.

Nose:  nice spicy rye with baking spices, clove, honey.

Palate:   caramel, spice, cacao, trailing off with some mint notes.

Finish:  Light mint, bay leaves and candy on the nose.

Nicely put together.

N: A little peppery kick initially, a mix of black & white peppers (heavier on black). Behind that - vanilla and malt. Gentle and slightly watery fruit notes, white peach, a hint of apricot and some nice subtle honey. 

P: Slightly woody mixed with malt and light honey, a slightly thinner mouthfeel. Pepper again; this time white pepper with a faint dab of cayenne. Gets a little dry and slightly bitter; a bit earthy.

F: Malty with slight pepper; honey, a little buttermilk biscuit with the honey for  second, but it fades in favor of an earthy cantaloupe rind finish.

This is a touch oddly-balanced; the pepper is a bit assertive and overpowers the fruit, as does the slightly bitter and musty side of things.

Palate: Malty, perfumy and a tad soapy

Finish: Malty

I like the nose on this a lot, but the soapy note on the palate is a bit too strong.
