Sierra Isaac 3.3

Pleasant scents of honey, fruit, faint caramel. Significant butterscotch and mild heat with spice on the finish. Impressive refinement for a 90 proof starter bottle. Discovered it on sale at a neighborhood store and decided to try it. Incredibly pleased I did!

Corey Nicholson 2.5

Smells like brown sugar, molasses, pine sap, and stone fruit. Tastes of wood tannins, baking spices, and is uninteresting. Finishes medium in length and tart. This was part of a tasting of barrel 87.

Dawn Bean 2.0

It's earthy, and the taste isn't nearly as sharp as the smell. I also noticed walnut.

Scarlett Manning 3.8

This is a truly good bourbon. I acquired a bottle for $15, which represents an incredible bargain.

Arleen Hawthorne 4.0

Sweet caramel with grassy notes. Mellow, without the smokiness typical of bourbons.

Clarissa Arroyo 2.0

Unremarkable. Tastes like rubbing alcohol, though with a hint of sweetness at the conclusion.
