barrel proof personally, so I'm a little worried this might be another that doesn't quite jive with my palate Palate: At first sip I find a singular sweet cherry that quickly dries out into a wrinkled skin of what

Palate: So sweet and syrupy but in a thin candy way. That cherry note is fantastic.

So this handsome label came my way, and I saw it was MGP liquid, sourced from one of my most trusted palates Just a touch of ethanol can be dug up when nosing this heavily, but that doesn't transfer to the palate Palate: First sip is a gentle introduction of caramel that pops into a cinnamon covered plum. The candied banana note is also here on the palate, but it is not your typical Brown-Forman banana; it's

Palate: Boom. That is a vanilla bomb! Apricot and nectarine are refreshing yet weathering a bit on the palate.

Palate: Silky vanilla and pear. Cherry transfers well and is more sweet here on the palate.

Palate: Woah, much less smoky than the nose was letting on. The finish is short but the smokiness persists on the palate long after finishing this pour.

Definite old oak note; solid depth Intense black pepper & molasses Marshmallow Smells like higher proof Palate meatballs... very briefly Slightly metallic but in a chocolate + cloves kind of way Really fun nose Palate

Palate: My first sip is a lovely introduction of maraschino cherry, mulled wine, cardamom, and clove. Nose ranking: 1: Michter's 10 Year Rye 2: Writers Rye 3: Parker's 10 Year Rye Palate ranking: 1: Michter's
