Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Cream of Kentucky Cask Strength Bourbon Review: Is It Worth $95? It finishes warm and hangs around a long time. Judging by its light color and lean mouthfeel, it's about 5 years old, which would explain its lack of complexity.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Woodinville 8-year Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review This is a dense bourbon, and deep, dark oak tones dominate and before cooked stone fruit, dried figs and baking spices roll across the palate, sweetening the whole.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Mary Dowling Tequila Barrel Finished Bourbon Review This feather-light whiskey is a malt drinker's bourbon, which, based on conversations I've had with Zamanian, who is a Scotch lover, may well be what he was after.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter's 2024 10 Year Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey Review But that's not as fun as pointing to that classic nose of bubble gum, dried flowers and fruit pastries. The barrel has a say, of course, introducing spice and tannin sotto voce, while letting tropical fruit and bruleed sugar speak a bit louder.
Irish Whiskey Reviews Redbreast Irish Whiskey Missouri Oak Edition Review If you're a lower-proof, softer whiskey fan, this is made for you. It's a cozy drink, a warming dram that will leave you cheerful and summoning someone to bring the bottle for more.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Russell's Reserve 15 Year Old Bourbon Review The nose is brooding and dark with a crispy foundation of chocolaty barrel char slathered in notes of dark berry jam, orange marmalade, and overcooked caramel. It's one of the more intense Wild Turkey noses I've experienced.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon Review Like those whiskeys, this is expressive and well-spiced. The nose shows more barrel notes than the wheated release, with plenty of oak and clove, but there's a thick layer of caramel sauce and gooey apple pie underneath that makes for a silky, sweet aroma.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Old Bottled In Bond Bourbon Review (Spring 2024) The aroma is initially a bit gritty and grain-forward, with lots of roasted cereal and creamed corn upfront. With time to unwind, silkier notes of butterscotch, vanilla pudding, and peanut butter arrive, but there's still not a ton of depth.
Tequila Reviews Entremanos Tequila Blanco Review The nose starts a little funky but intriguing, with warmed butter and mozzarella cheese drifting into herbal characters like spearmint and dried sage.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon Review If you're even semi-American whiskey savvy, you recognize the phrase in this bottle's name: Cask Strength Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon. Well, it's true: no water was added to achieve 100 proof; just the mingling of sub- and above-100-proof casks to attain that essential proof for BIB.
Rye Whiskey Reviews 15 Stars First West Fine Aged Rye Whiskey Review Its aromas begin with bright citrus, ripe fruit, a whiff of mint and some a solid serving of baking spice. Unexpectedly, toffee joins the party alongside maple syrup and caramelized brown sugar.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Heaven's Door Exploration Series 1 Review A quick smell of this whiskey, and there's no question about how it was finished. The nose is stuffed full of juicy apples. The Calvados barrel influence is big and bold without overdoing things. The juicy apple is mixed with brown sugar, caramel, and oak, resulting in a well-based aroma...
Tequila Reviews Storywood Anejo and Reposado Tequila Reviews Doubtless, some will like these gentle sippers, but they're too gentle for my preference. They lack the backbone a barrel can provide and the magical flavors great oxidization deliver to dazzle.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews George Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years Review The price point is nearly disqualifying. And I thought about it for quite a while. But it is an enjoyable older bourbon, and if you can manage to score a half ounce at whatever bar these end up at, it's worth a try, if only to see what Dickel thinks deserves this price tag.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Brother's Bond American Blended Rye Whiskey Review A quick whiff of the nose, and there's no denying this is a rye whiskey reporting for duty. It has all the classic hallmarks of a high rye mash bill rye whiskey from MGP–candied fruit, bright rye spice, caramel and juicy fruit.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Brother's Bond Original Cask Strength Bourbon Review Pour this one for those who care about their bourbon but not their budget. The nose, taste and finish are classic MGP, which longtime bourbon drinkers will enjoy immensely.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Review There's nothing wrong with drinking low-proof bourbon. It's just not my thing. But if I were to consume bourbon at the minimum bottle entry proof allowed, Brother's Bond flavor profile would be more than acceptable– even if the price is not.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Still Austin Blue Corn Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon Review What's most intriguing about this bourbon is its lack of sweetness. A glance at the mash bill shows it's limited to 51% corn, which explains a lot of it since it's roughly 25% lower than most bourbons on the market. I can't decide whether I like that reduced sweetness, but it's got my attention.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Milam & Greene Batch 3 Castle Hill Bourbon Review I've never been a fan of the children's vitamin note common to whiskeys made there, and I assumed this would bring more of the same. It didn't. This is a delicious whiskey with unique virtues appreciated in its aromas and flavors.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Heaven's Door Bootleg Series Vol. V Review I might recommend making this your only pour of the night or at least your first. It's a bourbon unlike most anything else on the shelves and requires, dare I say, deserves, some devoted attention.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Never Say Die Small Batch Bourbon Review Perhaps the big question for most is whether the whiskey is noticeably influenced by its journey to and rest in England. For me, at least, the answer is no. It tastes like a 6-year-old bourbon should–like any bourbon aged here for six years would taste.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Remus Gatsby Reserve Review Remus Gatsby Reserve leads with aromas of caramel, candied dark fruit and saddle leather, with slight brown sugar and very sweet candied notes.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series 11 Review Loads of tropical fruit and lilac lead on the nose followed by orange lemon zests and a hint of dried grain. The deeply toasted oak reminds you that a 13-year-old bourbon makes up the bulk of this blend.
American Whiskey Reviews Old Elk Wheat N' Rye Review It's a lovely blend that I'm continuing to enjoy well after writing this review. In fact, I think I'm enjoying this blend more than when I drank its respective components alone. Proof once again that sometimes, 1+1 does equal more than just 2.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson F Review Despite an MSRP jump of $50 from last year's already wallet-wounding price point, it's still a helluva bourbon. It's also priced to claim a piece of the secondary market pie.
