Nose: Buttery, vanilla, white tea.
Palate: Cabinet spices, redvines, rooibos, orange peel, slightly sour bourbon cask note.
Rating: 5 / 10
Nose: Sour note, slightly nutty, sugar.
Palate: Strong, but good wood, touch of sweetness which nicely negates some of the wood, big sip, dates, prunes, cane honey, subtle molasses, black pepper
Rating: 5 / 10 – fine but oddly non descript
Nose: Prune juice, dates, vanilla bean, sulfur
Palate: Black tea, chocolate and tobacco… and sulfur. Too much for me.missing a touch of sweetness.
Rating: 5 (Ryan) 3 (Shane) / 10 – this is a pretty solid cask if it wasn’t for the sulfur
Nose: Juicy fruit, bubble gum.
Palate: Peach, apple, hint of cardboard, tiny hint of blue cheese
Rating: 5 / 10
Nose: Pretty alcohol forward. Thinking I might need to stop using my nosing glass on these. Too young. Under the alcohol though are some very nice elements. Lemon parfait, cedar, creme brûlée.
Palate: Okay that is quite good and in line with the nose. Sweet and tart. Lemon heads. Cedar. Caramel / werther’s original. Nice oaky notes – hints of cinnamon and cloves on this finish.
Rating: 6 / 10 – this has incredibly promise. I get why they bottled it. Cashflow for a young brand is critical. But I wish I could have tasted this at 6-7 years. Or 10.
Nose: Toasted pecans, coconut sugar, red vines, dried strawberries, plums, dried dates
Palate: Slightly dusty cardboard, past-date spices, pink peppercorn, peppermint
Rating: 4 / 10 – meh
Nose: Nestle cerelac, jasmine, floral soap.
Palate: Turpin, resin, grassy, skunky weed, green bell peppers, rosemary
Rating: 4 / 10 – fun but forgettable.
Nose: Orange peel, cedar
Palate: Tangerine peel, white pepper, cedar
Rating: 5 / 10
Nose: Rich stonefruits, red plums, tobacco, wet dunnage, hint of deviled egg (specifically pickle and mustard)
Palate: Huge px sweety. Sitting on a knife’s edge of my tolerance for sulfur. Probably too far over to be honest. Yup, I’d write more as I like the big syrupy notes but can’t hang.
Rating: 5 / 10 – ough if you don’t mind sulfur and you love heavy sherry bombs, this could be epic. Unfortunately, I can’t hang.

Nose: Sweet hickory smoke, incents
Palate: Juicy fruit, smoke, braggs aminos
Rating: 7 / 10 – simple sweet and fun
Nose: Sugar cream frosting, maple syrup, cedar, pan seared sweet plantains.
Palate: You get the sweetness at the front, some lemongrass, brussel sprouts cooked in maple syrup, really toned down for SB dna, and finish goes a bit more of that sour/astringent bourbon barrel realm
Rating: 6 / 10
Nose: Salt marshes, olive oil lemon cake, smoked sea salt, creamy.
Palate: Oh yummy, stone fruit, unripe yellow peach, has that quintessential SB bandaid vibe but really nicely integrated here, tarmac, gouda, licking envelopes, olive brine, green peppercorn
Rating: 7 / 10 – this has been one of the better and more enjoyable of this series, very nice
Nose: Smokey and peaty sweaty, honey, chocolate coco puffs, juicy fruit, coffee
Palate: Ovaltine. And done.
Rating: 7 / 10 – tasty as heck
