The Structured Nomad

Brief Comments 

Smells like a rum - molasses, banana. Tastes like a spicy banana with a long finish. IT's got a habanero thing going on. It would be awesome at barrel strength. 

​

Smells like a rick house and floral shop mixed together. It is layered but not in a good way. There is light candy, flowers, and old yeast bread. Very light first sip then a pop rock explosion of spice and wighted pepper. Weird experience with a hard pass. 

​

This was definitely an experiment. Smells like it. It's got some prominent port wine nose . The start and finish if also very port wine-y. It has the spice of a rye whiskey with very strong black cherry, plum, and vanilla notes. ?Not a traditional rye and definitely meant for a winter time experience. Wouldn't drink it in the summer. 

​

This is pretty d*** good given the price. I can't believe a $30 bottle would be this smooth. Caramel toffee leather with fruit notes. This is another rye blend that gets me. 

​

Why do some people insist on such hot a** bourbon? Who wants to burn their throat for a drink? I mean really? I ain't sick. This will work in a mixed drink but that's it.

​

Smells like corn flour and honey. It is a very bright, light, and citrus-y. Somehow this shit is also spicy. Not a very long finish at all on the first sip. Second sip is a bit longer. Ice brings out a floral, honey, and vanilla sweetness. 

​

Hot as f***. Why is this burning my nose hair? Can't drink it straight, but it ain't bad on the rocks. It's sweet like vanilla and spicy like cinnamon. 

​

Always a solid choice. It's just delicious and soooooooooo smooth. Warm but not hot. Sweet like vanilla and caramel. Spicy notes of nutmeg. 

​

Yes...just yes. Where has this been all my life?! Smooth? Yes. Delicious? Yes. Speaks to my soul? Yes. It's like liquid vanilla leather going down without a burn. Can someone please hold me a bottle if you ever find it? This rare gem is for real!

​

This once in a lifetime rye bourbon should officially be dubbed a breakfast bourbon. Like it would go excellent with a stack of pancakes. It's a perfect combo of butter vanilla earthiness. 

​

Smells like a bakery. Tastes like some sweet bread. Orange, vanilla, and cinnamon with a honeysuckle sweetness. Leather is also present. It is has long finish. Ice amplifies the body to bring out the honey and keeps the initial pepper tastes. 

​

Smells like apple cider with hints of cardamom. It's fruity like with apples or pears. Solid mouthfeel. Definitely got a pie flavor. It is a wilder version of WT Rare Breed Barrel Proof. With ice it turns into cream corn. 

​

Got this on a recommendation and regret it. Floral nose - maybe some fruit? Tastes like roses but with some banana bread spice. This is like eating a flower. Ice softens it. Not my thing. 

​

Smells like caramel vanilla flowers. Tastes is very spicy upfront with some side tongue action of a medium-long finish of warm vanilla caramel. It is light in mouthfeel but without body to back up the sweetness. Like it better on ice. 

​

Has a strong and big floral nose with fruit, cinnamon, and cardamom. Taste is spicy. I could breathe fire here like a damn dragon. Bold. Cinnamon coffee cake with dried raisins or figs. Leather is also present.

​

Smells unrefined cheap candy. It has a light-medium body with a short finish. It is a almond butterscotch flavor with oak. It is like Knob Creek. Ice makes it tastes a like a butter cake. 

​

Is this really made of all corn? Smells like corn. Tastes like corn. Love it. No ice needed.

​

Smells sweet and smooth like molasses and corn. Very light mouthfeel with a medium finish given the lightness. It is sweet, warm, and nutty. Not too sweet but just right. This may be my go to summer beverage. Man-half ain't quite sure.

​

Nose is heavy on leather, pecan and caramel. Some toffee hints in there. It is light with a leather spiciness. Floral tones with lavender. Dry aftertaste. Man-half tastes milk chocolate with dark fruit. 

​

Smells like dark fruit with caramel. Tastes like a light version of the regular buffalo trace. Good drank for the price point...assuming you can find it. Ice makes it like popcorn.

​

Smells like plum candy. It has a lot of bite for the proof. Very spicy. There is a raisin flavor - between a golden and regular variety. It has a really long finish with a dry mouth ending. 

​

Well this ain't bad at all. Coffee-esque. Smooth like clove cola (esp. with ice). Has a full mouth feel. 

​

Definitely light mouth feel. Spicy. Too harsh to be enjoyed straight or on the rocks. Hopefully no one puts this into regular production. B+ for effort though.

​

Bright with a long finish. Even brighter with ice. Honey vanilla thing going on. 

​

Smells like a fruit muffin - maybe blueberry. Whatever it seems like a dark fruit. Almond pepper taste with a string muffin flavor. It is a cooling and oddly long finish. Ice makes it better but not memorable. 

​

Smells like sourdough bread or beer. Taste is not sweet at all. It is malty like a scotch. Not sure about them Texas folks now. This is definitely a mixer in our book. Lemon juice will down it. Man-half suggests it is "immature" compared to others. 

​

Sweet nose and sweet taste with fruit deliciousness. Better straight than on the rocks. Toasty finish.

​

How the f*** did this win an award? The creator must love punishment. Nasty. Hot and nasty. Makes my mixed drinks taste terrible. This is the kind of bourbon I drink when I can't feel my face. The price is the only saving grace. 

Smells like cherry wood. Very spicy with floral tones. Warm finish. Ice makes it tart and lighter. It's like a cheaper Knob Creek.

​

Smells and tastes like a rice house. It's got this weird earthy cinnamon thing going on with some spice. Definitely worth the price tag. 

Smells like apple pie with dutch crumb topping. Not initially strong. Has a muted rye bite. Sort of has a muted liquified barrel taste. Light with a medium finish. Dry mouth. Ice makes it very sweet and unpalatable. Kind of cool to get some of the first round of this shit.

​

Smells like cream corn, roses, and caramel apples. It's strong but smooth. A lot of heat but no peppery. Long and deep finish. Flavor is like chocolate, toffee and floral. Definitely man-half approved.

​

No shit - Bought this for the tin cup on top even against recommendations from staff. It's got a woodsye spice nose that gives me hope of being good. BUT it disappoints. 1st taste is exactly like the smell and it's like a scotch (gross). With ice it gets lighter and sweeter. Still ain't my thing. 

​

I had low expectations for this but ended up surprised. Hot nose but the sweetness comes out with ice. The price point is excellent for what it is and it makes a good mixer. 

Y'all this is it. Price is on point for this consistent bastard. Smells like flowers, spice, and a caramel vanilla pastry. Has a floral flavor that is dominated by a delicious cream corn goodness. Actually take that shit back! It is a yellow cake with cream cheese frosting with some serious spice mixed in it. YASSS! 

​

Alright, alright, alright. This bitch smells like some Wild Turkey with molasses and vanilla. Peppery on the lips with a strange second sip finish. Tastes like a basic whiskey with some charcoal something. It is a summer drink. Ice makes it tastes like mesquite. 

​

Perfection. Smells like an apple pie. It has a crispness to it. Light mouthfeel that mimics the smell. Goes down warm. This is our summer version of Stagg Jr. 

​

It's alright. Heavy warmness but light mouthfeel. Definitely caramel and vanilla with some oaky spice. 

​

Smells like a vanilla coke. Tastes very fruity with some pepper, caramel or butters cots, cloves, and leather. This shit is deep. Way sweet. Ice made it sweeter. Compared to the 101 regular it has some pecan and smoky leather, too. 

​

Light florally caramel nose with some slight fruit. 1st taste is dark chocolate cherry (or some other red fruit).Man- half also tasted almond. 2nd taste adds some peppery spice with mocha goodness. Ice gives it that buttery texture will prominent floral. 

​

Smells like chocolate almond candy. VERY almond-y. Strong cherry flavor - almost like a fake additive. Long finish. Unique for sure. Don't think I'd buy again.

​

Alright this comes packed with an orange citrus blossom nose. It is light in mouthfeel and very spicy. This comes with a long ass finish that eventually settles in to a woodsy vanilla and orange taste. Summertime rye perhaps? Definitely better on ice but not sure this is something I'd crave again. 

​

Well this is fruity. Is that caramel or like butterscotch? Either way it ain't bad. Not very complex but definitely worth sipping.
