Angel's Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 1, 2017 (edited December 4, 2017)A bit light. But very smooth and very sweet. My non bourbon drinking friends usually like this one when I give them a pour. I like it as an after dinner drink. -

1792 Ridgemont Reserve Bourbon (NAS)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 12, 2017 (edited April 24, 2018)Tried a pour at a local tavern. Light and spicy describes this one accurately. Not much taste on the palate. Very simple. Most of the spice and burn is on the finish. Averaged dram at best. -
This is some delicious juice. It is on the sweet side, rather creamy, and is fairly smooth for a blend of 6 to 8 year barrels. This maybe a bit higher priced than some of my other "everyday" sippers (4R SmB, Bowman Bros, Eagle Rose, HW American Prairie, Buffalo Trace) but I think I am adding it to the mix. It is that good.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum
Aged Rum — Barbados
Reviewed September 6, 2017 (edited September 11, 2017)I am much more of a bourbon drinker who is just testing the waters of some non whiskeys. I chose this as my second rum choice after Flor de Cana Gran Reserva. This is much better and smoother. I assume because of the bourbon barrel aging it has tastes found mostly in bourbons. This is much sweeter than any bourbon I have had, but still a very solid juice. It has a bit of spice on the finish but not overpowering. Plantation XO is definitely delicious enough to have piqued my interest to try out a few more rums. -
Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed September 5, 2017 (edited March 22, 2018)This is crazy good for a bourbon under $35. It is right up there with Four Roses SmB, Buffalo Trace, Elijah Craig 12 and even Weller 12. So smooth and with a great lingering taste. A bit spicy on the finish but not overpowering at all. This is an everyday sipper; sort of a poor man's Blanton's. -
High West American Prairie Bourbon
Bourbon — (bottled in Utah), USA
Reviewed September 1, 2017 (edited August 17, 2020)A good bourbon for the price. Very creamy and buttery with some spice to it. Has a medium finish with some heat. -
Blanton's Original Single Barrel
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 1, 2017 (edited January 13, 2018)This is quite simply my favorite bourbon. Blanton's is what Bourbon should be. It is smooth with just the right amount of bite. It really is incredibly delicious; sweet and oaky in all the right ways. If I see a bottle of Blanton's I am buying it.
