"Copper color. Deep aromas of pecan toffee, dried peach and orange, and sweet baking spices follow through on a supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body with layers of spiced nuts and caramel fudge. Finishes with a long, smooth vanilla and mineral accented fade. A great sipper or mixer with fantastic flavor and balance."

"Initial aroma is acutely spicy, cereal-grain sweet and a touch citrusy; following aeration the aroma takes flight as fruity/resiny scents enchant the olfactory sense. The flavor at entry is laser beam-focused, snug and concentrated; at midpalate, the flavor profile goes deeply cereal-like, almost honeyed, Sherried and intense. Concludes a tad fiery (it’s 101-proof, don’t forget), zesty, toffee sweet and nougat-like." 90-95 pts.

"Copper. Confectioner's sugar and fudge nose. Brawny yet light on the attack with sweet caramel and toasted nut flavors. Finishes with a wave of hot spice."

"Deep amber color. Highly polished aromas of creamy vanilla, pickling spices, and buttery pralines. A delicate, silky entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body of honeyed grain, sweet baking spice, vanilla bean, and pralines. Finishes with a long, rich fruity caramel, peppery spice and mineral accented fade. A elegant sipping or mixing bourbon."

The Age Your Own™ Whiskey Kit includes two 750 ml bottles of 110 proof White Dog un-aged whiskey, a 2 liter aging barrel, pouring funnel, two tasting glasses, and step-by-step instructions. Because of the small barrel size, the aging process is significantly accelerated with nicely aged whiskey available in 3-6 months (you be the judge!). Aging barrel can be refilled and reused 5+ times.

A classic from Jack Daniel's. Medium bodied. Reminiscent of citrus, honey, dried herbs, almonds. Moderately rich texture. Slightly tangy on the palate. While not overly herbaceous, there are ample fragrances as sensed in the country meadow.

"A lovely, sophisticated bourbon bouquet comprising fruity, cornmeal aromas which are followed by a red fruit scent, all underpinned by an oaky vanilla quality. Entry is reserved, gently sweet and toffee-like; the midpalate features succulent tastes of light caramel, honeywheat bread, caramel corn and toasted almond. Concludes fruity and corny. The best value American whiskey in the marketplace." Best Buy. 85-89 pts.

"Sexy aromas of dark chocolate, dried cherries, and roasted nuts. A vibrant supple entry leads to a fruity-yet-dry medium-full body of rich toffee, nut, and dried cherry and golden raisin flavors with a long, hearty and sweet finish. Wonderful rich flavor and a lingering, warming finish."

"Amber color. Even aromas of floral honey, toasted grain, buttery caramel, and peppery spice. A silky, soft entry leads to a dryish medium body of cinnamon bark, caramel, and honeyed toasted rye and cornbread. Finishes with a long, vanilla, sweet corn, and sweet baking spice fade. Nice smoothness, balance and proportion."
