  • Stagg Jr Batch 19 "22B" Bourbon Review

    10%) Proof: 130° Age: NAS (~8 years) Further identification: Batch 19 was first released (though a little Overall it's a little proof-imbalanced, but opening up well with time, air and patience. The linger is sharp and aggressive with little reward outside of some slightly sweet waxy tones.

  • Bernheim Barrel Proof Wheat Whiskey Review - Batch A223

    I've never been one for Larceny barrel proof personally, so I'm a little worried this might be another This is just a classic aged whiskey aroma; the soft red winter wheat may have been a little too soft A larger sip and swish reveal a touch more cinnamon than before, but little in the way of complexity. I'm always surprised by how spice forward Heaven Hill's wheat mash can be... looking at you Old Fitzgerald

  • 2023 Weller 12 Year Wheated Bourbon Review & A Bonus List of Things You Can Buy Instead When You Can't Find It

    I took two sips and foolishly went to text myself: "FIND WELLER 12 WHEN YOU GET HOME". If you're a little more needy than that, like I am, let's dive a little deeper on what I enjoyed about Michter's 10 Year Bourbon // Kings County Bottled-in-Bond Recommendations based on wheated mash bill: Boone Makers, Boone county or Old Louisville. - @fitwildwest If I can't get a Weller 12 and really want an

  • Russell's Reserve 13 Year Batch 2 (LL/JL) Bourbon Review

    The hype around this one still boggles my mind a little bit because I have had single barrel picks that the creamy mouthfeel but I find a small flash of sandalwood in the linger sometimes which scares me a little the batch 1 release: I thought the sandalwood note was unique to batch 2, but I do find it hidden in little It's incredible how similar the tasting notes ended up on this one when I look back at batch 1 now. I've also noticed today that both corks on the Russell's 13 releases are running a little looser than

  • Cream of Kentucky 12.3 Year Bourbon Review

    There's a deep lemon note persistent all throughout this that reminds me a little bit like Willett, but it present a little more like Knob 12. Nearing the last sip the nose turns a bit dusty and nutty; like a Booker's Granny's Batch peanut experience pre-dinner is thin but zesty with plenty of that lemon forward profile coming out, but here it has a little The last sip is surprisingly vanilla forward, with a little ethanol linger and thick cherry cola effervescence

  • Pocket Sized Review: Redwood Empire - Lost Monarch Cask Strength Craft Whiskey Blend

    Right away it shows up a little young, with the rye grain being quite apparent. Hints of plastic are a true oddity for something with as little malt content as the stated mash bills

  • Blue Run Holiday Cask Strength Rye Whiskey Review

    I'm running a little behind on reviewing these Blue Run releases! So many bottles, so little time! I'm looking forward to tasting through this one tonight, it feels like a good pour given the setting There's little to no heat on this one at all despite the proof. A swirl of the glass builds in stronger vanilla notes, a little bit of pepper and a layer of synthetic recommend this to someone who is new to rye as an exploration pour, but seasoned rye lovers will likely be looking

  • The Senator Barrel Proof Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey Flash Review

    I'm a little too tired for an in depth review tonight, but it's Friday Rye-Day so I thought I'd pour zesty and spicy early on the nose, but not sharp or biting now that this bottle has been open for a little

  • Top Irish Whiskeys for 2023 - Sweet 16 Blind Bracket Head to Head Matchups

    Well, I'm a little late after St. Paddy's day getting this posted up. If you want a visual of what these 16 beauties look like on the counter, check out my introduction reel I would prefer to do individual head to head tastings, or a smaller blind flight, but this is a fun little

  • Blue Run 14 Year Bourbon Review

    Reminds me a little bit of a good Booker's batch aroma. It's similar to the experience many find later on in a Booker's Country Ham where things take on that Some slight smokiness is forming late in the glass; as if you left something in the pan a little too A little more proof now than previous sips, this is definitely one that builds with you as you keep sipping

  • Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Batch 63 Bourbon Review

    This has a great funk to it on the nose I always enjoy; similar to what I dig about Booker's batches. It's amazing what a little temperature change can do to a pour. Honey now is quite sweet! Looking forward to sharing this with guests around a fire and seeing how it develops with a little air

  • New Years Eve Head to Head Flight

    This one is showing a little bit of proof imbalance later in the glass. Brittany sipped this and thought this was a little too spicy for her palate. Woah, after refreshing my palate with some water this took on a rich butterscotch and nutty profile that The brown sugar bomb comes off just a little too spicy. This is a barrel proof lovers delight. It's than little bit of flashy over-proofed linger that knocks this down just below the Taylor.
