Nose
Very emphatic rich, deep, cocoa aroma. Palate
Firm. Slippery-smooth. Very toffeeish. Hard toffee. Nut toffee. Peanut brittle. A suggestion of blueberries, perhaps even passion-fruit. Slight spicy-sour rye character. Finish
Rye-grain. Crisp and spicy. Comment
A good, substantial bourbon.

Nose
Quite lean, dry and rye-accented. Appetising with light honey richness. Palate
Feisty with good peppery attack. High-toned. Vibrant. Mellows slightly in the mouth with honey, red fruits. Finish
Vivacious, crisp and peppery. Comment
Outdoor/restorative stuff. Stick a bottle in your pocket and do a John Muir.
