identification: This is listed as Series: 17 from the Distiller's Selection; it is twice barreled in new charred American The twice oaked thing seems like a gimmick to attempt to age faster than a single barrel intends to.

Before we get into another review - I'd like to say the usefulness of most single barrel reviews really store being reviewed (if it is anywhere near you), or look for high level trends to see if chasing single more complexity than the palate and I find myself savoring the aromas of caramel, popcorn and warm salted some of the other barrels that Jen has picked, I know that Plaza is the place to stop in for whiskey single

As part of my due diligence for picking 4 barrels with them, I tasted through this single barrel coming Straight Bourbon Whiskey Mash Bill Percentages: Starlight's 4 grain mash: 51% Corn, 20% Rye, 9% Wheat, 20% Malted

Weller coming back into my glass is always a welcome sight! I actually believe I reviewed this pour on my Instagram quite a while ago, and I wasn't anticipating doing another formal review tonight... But when I first nosed this glass I immediately went into notes mode. It is just too good not to savor, enjoy and attempt to understand! Hopefully this isn't too much foreshadowing on the notes to come. Have you tried a Weller pick, or even this one perhaps? Let me know in the comments. I hope you have something great in your glass tonight! Company on Label: Buffalo Trace Whiskey Type: Wheated Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages: Undisclosed Buffalo Trace "Wheated Mash Bill" Proof: 107° Age: NAS (~6-8 years) Further identification: ~2020 New Hampshire Liquor Outlet pick Nose: Sweet candied cherry... So incredibly rich and delicious on the first nose. Slightly meaty notes I've found in other Weller offerings, as well as some dusty oak. Orange peel is distinct, heavy and prominent now. Cloth briefly, then a smooth, silky citrus. I'm now presented with a smell that reminds me of the carpets of the church I went to as a kid. It kind of smells like old people (in a nostalgic, nice way). I can't quite shake that smell now, so I'll go for a sip. Pepper and caramel have blended well in the glass now post sip. Dry vanilla bean wanders in. This nose-feel is a lot like being in a cloud - or traveling very quickly through one much like the experience of skydiving. Light hints of leather, baking spice and molasses later in the glass. Oh, some nice earthy green tones now on deep inhales. Palate: Oh yeah - the palate matches the start of the nose well here. Cherry bursting forth with a thick, slightly tannic mouth coating. Cinnamon is mellow here, but still dances well across my tongue. The linger is a robust caramel that is pleasant without being overly powerful. The mouth feel to this is very nice but I think this batch may have been chill filtered as it doesn't have that thick, oily, sticking texture that Weller Full Proof has. This actually tastes a lot like Weller 12 tonight, with obvious extra proof behind it. Honey, plums, copper, and white bread now coat my tongue in various hues of extra layers that are nice surprises as this glass drinks on. A good bit of spice develops late in the glass, which is actually welcomed at this point in its evolution and not overbearing. The last sip is incredibly vanilla forward on the tip of my tongue with cherry dominating in the middle majority, dark grape and slightly tannic oak washing over, and finishing with a long linger of orange peel, baking spices and caramel. Rating: 4/5

As all single barrels can vary, I'll go into this one with a fresh mind. Spirits; Distilled in Bardstown, KY) Whiskey Type: Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages: 72% Corn, 13% Rye, 15% Malted

Michter's is often what I recommend to people when they ask me what they should buy to 'get started in whiskey'. I don't normally suggest Sour Mash, but after this review I might start to given the notes I found. I was pretty surprised revisiting this old shelfer. Company on Label: Michter's Whiskey Type: Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages: Undisclosed (originally a 45% Corn, 45% Rye, 10% Barley mash bill, but has been changed) Proof: 86° Age: NAS Further identification: Barrel No 19K2140 Nose: Thick syrupy marshmallow. Viscous like a vanilla syrup in a latte or other coffee drink. A light roast coffee bean. Really strong initial presentation. Dry oak I think would present young & grainy if it weren't for all that sweetness. I don't know what it is about sour mash offerings but they always drink above their age to me. There is something slightly synthetic to this... almost like a pleather jacket. The nose really runs into a dead end with a waxed paper wall. A hint of chai can be dug up late. Something like a natural fiber rope or twine is also in here. Empty glass is chocolate and almonds. Palate: Marshmallow transfers wonderfully along with hot cocoa mix, vanilla coffee bean, and a dark wood like mahogany. Dry sugar cookie fades into tea spice & chocolate. The mouth coating is really thin, but spreads and coats rapidly. It does have some good linger, but is going to be quite repetitive on subsequent pours with a lack of depth being apparent at 86 proof. I do really enjoy this, but unfortunately I know there are some better pours available (like Shenk's). There is something almost like caramel, but quite watered down. I'd say the overall vibe to the pour is the hot chocolate, marshmallow & coffee bean profile that is persistent throughout. Rating: 3/5 I would wholeheartedly suggest this pour to someone looking to expand their novice whiskey horizons as it is a very unique flavor profile. I think it would make a nice dessert pour, if you haven't had any higher proof pours before it. It's very creamy, kind of like an espresso martini in a way.
