- Booker's 2022-02 "The Lumberyard Batch" Bourbon Review
The Lumberyard Batch comes bearing a light green label in a wooden box with a batch information card Nose A savory blend of salted caramel, molasses and dark walnut greets my nose upfront.

- Willett Incognito - Old Kirk and Hirsch Single Barrel Bourbon Head to Head Reviews
Old Kirk Barrel # 6938 Review Pre-Sip Nose: Musty and herbal forward on the first nosing. What an incredibly fickle pour! what is not letting this pour shine. Taking a sip of this takes you on a journey; it makes your mind wander and your tongue sing. I love a pour that shimmers like this.

90° Age: 18 years Further identification: The 2022 release of Sazerac 18 touts the following stats: Nose Returning my nose to the glass reveals a deeper sweetness that now includes hints of cherry wood.

- Russell's Reserve 13 Year Batch 3 (LL/KE) Bourbon Review
Bright grape tones rise up with good heft from deep inhales. Mmm the nose has developed marvelously now that the glass is warming up and getting a little lower. Tannic notes build near the bottom of the glass similar to the bright grape aromas of the early nose. The linger is much longer & more consistent after a few sips warm this pour up. I am glad this pour eventually reached those same heights - so I am glad to call this one another favorite

- Elmer T. Lee Bourbon Review
Lee by producing his namesake single barrel sour mash bourbon. Lee Bourbon Nose: Right away prevalent fruit sweetness wafts from the glass. My nose perceives zero evidence of the presence of alcohol in this glass. The nose-feel overall is slightly drying and thin.

As I continue to nose well beyond a few sips the only aromas I can pinpoint are a bit of molasses and Palate: On first sip I find that same red velvet cake and cherry that the nose led with. TL;DR: Muted nose with flashes of fun, simple palate that seems better fit under the E.H.
