The juice is very clear, a deep marigold that forms very slow, fat, straight tears. The rye is very clear, medium-gold, like old Chardonnay, and just slightly green. It beads and forms extremely slow tears. Warm tiger pelt red-gold and very clear in the glass, the Red Handed Bourbon forms fast thick tears.
The Ghost Hill smells of a gingerbread house on the seashore. I found a hint of cooked flat beans in there, too. The nose is subtle: floral at first, then cherry cola, allspice, ripe banana and cut grass. Cigar box and sandalwood on the nose, with toffee-on-shortbread and white pepper. Banana peel tones come out as it rests in the glass.
Quite fiery on the palate, its savory and dry very lean. Minerals dance over the mid-palate, spreading out to cacao nibs, leather and clover honey. The finish is short and clean. Final Thoughts: This is a whiskey for the bone-dry white wine drinker. Its delicate and straightforward. I want a little more oomph for my neat-drinking pleasure. This is perfect for elegant, subtle cocktails.

Nose: The nose is subtle: floral at first, then cherry cola, allspice, ripe banana and cut grass. Palate: What a contrast on the palate! Its robust and spicy, with allspice, clove, black pepper, and a whisper of cinnamon. Cedar on the mid-palate, its round and creamy on the back-palate. The liquid is weighty; slightly oily on the tongue. Final Thoughts: The rye is working well. Velvety, solid, enjoy this on the back deck or in your favorite spirit-forward cocktail.

The cookie aromas come up as caramelized sugar and vanilla bean on the mid-palate, with spice allspice, nutmeg and black pepper coming around on the back of the tongue. Final Thoughts: This whiskey has some nice complexity. Its not rich for a bourbon, maybe accounting for its youth. Id love to taste the same in a few years. Score: 3.5/5
