Light and fruity with a slight burn on the finish. With a few drops of water it's a bit easier to drink. Still a little thin. And also a little spicy with a peppery finish.

Hints of butterscotch and vanilla on the nose, slightly spicy with definite hints of caramel and vanilla on the tongue. Finish is relatively short with a hint of charred wood. One of my more regular drams

Creamy oats. Hints of vanilla. Finish is longish, and peppery.
James Titcumb
Grassy, fresh water and touch of herb on the nose. Rich golden colour. Dark chocolate, but fresh. Peat is barely detectable, but the finish is long and smooth. This bottle was purchased in approx 1990, so latest distilling year would've been 1978. Was a gift from my late grandfather to my dad, just a drop remains. Enjoyable dram, both in taste and sentimentally.

Summer fruits on the nose. Slight wood, medium finish. Not so bad, but not lively with flavour.

This is ... not that good. I mean, it's the only 100% corn bourbon that is made. But it's actually 'too corny'. You can really taste the corn, and it burns. None of the vanilla/oaky goodness comes across.
- Earned the Youngling badge
Should this not be classified as a "Single Grain"/"Corn Whisky" then?
Derick Rethans
Feb 27th, 2017 @ 10:38
Nope, it's technically a bourbon still (>51% corn, and aged in a charred barrel). Corn whiskey by definition is not aged at all, or is only aged in a non-charred barrel, leaving the color clear (or slightly yellow). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_whiskey

Wonderful grassy notes hidden behind the deep smoke. Wonderful whisky, though I miss the heavier peat of it's less expensive cousin.

Tasted with drop of water. Very sweet on the nose, strawberries and cream perhaps. Light wood prevalent in the flavour, and still a little sharp. Short finish, but leaves a subtle bit of sweetness.
