Totally.

Just completely went to zero once your tongue was coated. Then it just left an alcohol taste.

Tonight's looks interesting @ 116 proof.
I loveeeee that hot stuff. I went with 1792 Single Barrel today. Basic bitch but delicious
They've come a long way since the Ridgewood Reserve debacle.

Wow.

Strong, but way too sweet tasting. I cut it with a few drops of water and it helped a bit, but still too sweet for me.

Sounds like it was just alcohol and sweetness, no Cinnamon or anything?
There was a hint of pepper in it that was almost invisible. The smell made me think I would get some honey and cinnamon, but nope.

In poverty drinking news, "basic" Old Forrester is $24 for a 1.75 at Costco. At that price you can't afford to be sober.

A bargain at twice the price.

Old Forrester is basically Woodford reserve seconds, if not the same exactly just relabeled. Same mash bill, same yeast strain.

I just overpoured myself about 2.5 ounces in a Glen Cairn.

The nose is rather tame, but definitely can smell the oak cask. The taste is really mellow, no big spike of any extra crazy flavors or alcohol burn. Just some hints of sweetness followed by oak to round it out.

Quite drinkable and enjoyable for when you don't want peat or complex concoctions of flavors. I like it.
