Caramelized plums over roasted malt and vanilla bean lead to a rich, evolving palate of baked cherry , with bourbon leading the way, caramel and vanilla, while the Japanese malt takes over mid- to end-palate

Palate: Delicious syrupy plum and apricot.

Palate: My first taste of batch 13 offers cherry hots, cinnamon, anise, and sharp black pepper. Doesn't please my palate.)

Palate:  Up front, this is uber-sweet for a rye; think old-fashioned candy made with raw and real sugar My palate is ping-ponging between these varying tastes, which is a bit disjointing, but I understand

They have historically agreed with my palate in general and I think their blending team is absolutely While nosing this is fun, where this glass really shines is on the palate. Palate: My first sip is delectable with Hershey's strawberry milk.

Palate: Syrupy mouthfeel with an immediate flavor bomb that explodes across the tongue. The nose has evolved drastically but the palate has stayed mainly on the same course. I still wholeheartedly agree that the nose far surpasses the palate on this one.

I had enough of a break for my palate to reset for this review. Palate: My first sip shows off a nice burst of flavor with sweet orange peel backdropped by a minty caramel I am surprised with how fruit forward the palate is with how muted the early nose felt. I get a lot of old fashioned cocktail vibes from this on the palate now. I am willing to look past a very lackluster nosing experience because of how good the palate was.

Palate: My first sip shows off subtle cherry skins, cinnamon and a smorgasbord of oak that reminds me Another sip is much the same with vague cherry sweetness dominating the palate. Much like the nose, the palate experiences very little evolution. It's not the same rich history that was built from exceptional stocks by palates like the Julian Van George T Stagg had the best palate, followed closely by the Old Rip, with Pappy 15 clearly lagging far

A lot of excitement goes into something of this caliber and pedigree. Palate: Instant sweetness with rich layers of cherry, molasses, and a smoky strawberry with a heavily Lovely fruity mouth coating that spreads to every corner of the palate.
