Tasting Notes

Nose

Although this whiskey doesn’t fill up a room with its aromatics, there’s a lot going on in the glass. On the nose, I pick up notes of dried fruits such as prunes and figs alongside aromatics of warm snickerdoodle cookies. I’m suddenly craving dessert. On revisiting the glass, I find more layers of raisin-studded brioche, toasted pecans, and chocolate milk. It’s funny how concentrated the notes are but only when you have your nose to the glass. I want to slather some butter on this and eat it warm.

Remus Repeal Reserve Series VII Straight Bourbon bottled at 50% ABV, mash bill: various, SRP $99 — a $99.99/ 750ml bottle expression that merits close attention.

Nose

This whiskey is a pale mahogany in color. I’m a sucker for a sweet and silky rye-heavy bourbon and often turn to MGP to satisfy the itch. Sipping this whiskey was a joy, with the aromatics dissolving on my tongue. It’s intense without being unctuous, and boldly aromatic without overwhelming. The palate lacks a touch on complexity, but it’s a fine whiskey for sipping, especially if you enjoy the MGP style.
