Solid. Tastes like scotch, but with something else in it, so probably Japanese? But I would certainly drink this again.

Spicy and Sweet. Digging this one.

Very soft. I'm liking it. Smelling the fruit, mostly apples with a little tropical flair. Kind of waxy on the finish, but I like it. Tastes like a mother's hug.

Light and easy drinking but a medicinal flavor to it. Not my favorite, probably a scotch.

This smells and tastes so familiar. I’m going to kick myself when I reveal what it is. Very light bodied, and has a bit of a bite. Leaves me a bit wanting, but overall not bad.

It’s delicate. Not too boozy. It’s not an easy one to guess.

Gentle and balanced with traces of honey and orange. A bit forgettable, but it's really easy to drink and a nice dram.

We're back! This Broken Oak has a bit more of a grain flavor than I remember, but still such a solid pour.

Such a good bourbon! Smooth, sweet and a little strong but I still enjoyed it as much as last year. Enjoying this with my brother-in-law who likes it but thinks it is a little astringent with a medicinal finish that lingers a little too long for his preference. Great start to the season. Merry Christmas!!

Sweeter and more baking spices than I remember, which leads to a muddied finish, but still delicious

This is my recommendation. Of course it rocks.

Mouth Magic. I enjoyed this yesterday during the tour and while I'm not a bourbon guy, I'd sip on this next to the only 2 other bourbon's I'd actually buy: Michter's Sour Mash & Mystic Bottle in Bond--Allan's 2023 submission. Am I becoming a Bourbon Guy Again?
