Review from KettleOne (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 2111, Created:20120831185831) | Purchased at: | NC ABC Store | | Purchased for: | 22.00 | | Nose: | In many ways, I think the nose is the most impressive part of this fine whiskey. It is a rich smell. Heavy. As with many of my reviews, I can only smell brown sugar and vanilla. But it is a very pleasant smell. | | Taste: | At first, I taste a strong sting of rye and the heat of the high proof. But, the flavor is dry and crisp...reminds me of Stagg with less strength. I get hints of vanilla and toffee. I like the kick. It's a man's whiskey. | | Finish: | Lingering flavor. I get a grain taste. Burnt flavor. Good. Smoothed over by wheat. I liken the finish to some complex whiskeys like William Larue Weller in 123 proof. Good stuff. | | Overall: | This is a bargain whiskey. In my opinion, the flavors and its overall impression are synonomous with a very expensive whiskey with William Larue Weller or Stagg. This whiskey is similar to its brethren. It has all that I like in whiskey...not sweet, a good sting and a long finish. Highly recommend it. |

Review from mrviognier (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1826, Created:20100324221118) | Purchased at: | Sales Sample | | Nose: | Caramel, candy corn, sweet oak, hay, lemon curd/orange blossom, spun sugar. Very pleasant...nothing disjointed here. | | Taste: | Hello! Now THAT is how Bourbon should taste. Sweet entry leading to a solid, smooth mid-palate of cereal, barrel, cola nut. Sweet and viscous. | | Finish: | Like skating on glass...smooth and goes on and on. Great integration of alcohol here...and everything else. | | Overall: | A well-crafted, seamless Bourbon that just begs to be savored. I almost forgot just how good Weller is. Never again! |

Review from juelze (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1780, Created:20091220230431) | Purchased at: | Discount Liquor - Milwaukee, WI | | Purchased for: | $19.99 | | Info on this bottle: | New label | | Nose: | Nice is a bit spicey with a bit of a herbaceous aroma. Notes of honey and once you get past the alcohol, a nice aroma of vanilla. | | Taste: | Taste is of a bit of leather, grass, and only in the finish you do get a bit of honey and vanilla. | | Finish: | Very enjoyable finish. Very long warmth with a quick burn up front. | | Overall: | A solid bourbon for the price! |

Review from Dump Bucket (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1735, Created:20091022191425) | Purchased at: | BevMo Sac, CA | | Purchased for: | $22 with tax | | Nose: | Reminds me of the ones from 2004. Good OWA nose with a rich vanilla and sweetness. | | Taste: | Ahhh. That is good juice. vanilla, maple, light woods and toches of caramel. | | Finish: | A little shorter than expected,but not short. A good 45 sedonds plus and wonderful. ALl of teh vanillas, sweetnesses and flavors you expect from OWA | | Overall: | Save your money on the 07-09 OWA old bottles and go pick these first gent new bottles up. They are far better than the end of the Old Label Run. |

Review from Dump Bucket (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1730, Created:20091016181519) | Purchased at: | Julio's | | Purchased for: | $25 including tax and shipping ($18 at store) | | Info on this bottle: | New Label BD/BE SB from the Bourbon Crusades | | Nose: | This is fresh off of the Fed Ex truck and it is doing great. There is a very close relationship to the PVW 15yr here. Lot of the same characteristics, with a touch of youth. Brown sugars, creams, and some nice oak. There are hints of vanilla with a passing of citrus. | | Taste: | VANILLA then candy corn and cream. 15 seconds in brings some soft burn that increases over time. 30 seconds in brings touches of oak and more cream... | | Finish: | a little cinnamon with the vanilla and cream. The candy corn sweetness just touches in and out with the vanilla and brown sugar. | | Overall: | Glad I got 12, but one is going to Morgan... I need to get another case easy.... |
