Tasting Notes

First Tasted at Meeting No. 57 in April 2017
 •  4.0

God made dirt and dirt don't hurt. Great things come from the mid-Atlantic like recorded sound, drive in movies and this spirit. Earthy nose, clean finish.

 •  4.0

Wimpy nose but total mouth encompassing cask strength deliciousness with an herbal touch. This is divisive, but I like it.

 •  3.5

Big juniper on the nose at first. Big vegetal amoras after that. This one drinks / tastes like a gin. A barrel aged gin. Old Tom, maybe?

 •  3.0

Caramel log, with some just plain log too. Water brings it back to caramel.

 •  3.0

Tastes like a weird marriage between genever and whiskey. Much more herbal than you'd expect from a bourbon. Fruity, juniper-y, and with a whole lot of burn on the finish.

 •  2.0

Nail polish nose . Wound sanitizer. Did not like it.

 •  1.0

Smells hot- boozy. Isopropanol burn down the back of the throat. Definitely wound sanitizing.
