Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed October 15, 2022Tried the 2021 master disiller Chris Fletcher pick of this one and it just gets better and better. Just a step below coy. Neck pour is a little hot but a few drinks in this becomes your best friend. Nose : rich chocolate, roasted nuts plums. Taste: deep dark rich chocolate, burnt roasted peanuts, really rich fruit bread. A little hot but worth it. Numb and rich chocolate finish. This is the russian imperial stout of whiskeys. If you can't find coy hill. Buy this puppy. So good! -
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 14, 2022 (edited November 12, 2022)The nose is the best part about this one. Super vannila caramel little wood. A little light on the taste ethanol hits first then the vanilla oak comes in. A nice lasting vanilla light oak finish. This aint bad and I get why people like it. Just not my jam. I like the nose and I like the finish. Everything in between is just ok. Cheers all! -
Barrell Rye Single Barrel Cask Strength 13 Year
Rye — Canada, Canada
Reviewed October 3, 2022 (edited October 24, 2022)I did a side by side with this Barrell 13yr Sib cs (barrel #L950) Canadian rye and and a Barrell rye cs 4yr rye batch #003. Color : the 13 year is a few shades lighter. 13yr Nose : Rich almost winey what I expect with a canadian. Deep sweet rye spice. Batch 3 nose : light ethanol, still rich but not as much, rye with a little vegetable Batch 3 Taste: sharp wood sweet rye with a little heat. Bitter and sweet numb finish. 4.15/5 13 yr taste: this one swirls so nicely with good size legs. Rich multi layered, sweet earthy rye, dry wine, caramel and light apples. Sweet rye lingers with a medium numb finish 4.6/5 Conclusion: It's hard to compare these even though they are both Barrell. Definitely different styles of rye. Batch 3 has a lot of Indiana and maybe polish rye influence. I am a sucker for a high proof nicely aged Canadian so the 13yr wins. They are both great and would never turn down either. -

Maker's Mark 46 Cask Strength
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 26, 2022 (edited October 12, 2022)I killed my 109.7 proof bottle of this with a side by side with a makers mark cask 22-01. They have almost identical proofs. The 46 has more wine/woody nose but the cs has a a fuller sweeter nose. The nose translates over to the taste. 46cs has a little bit of a lighter mouth feel and a little more burn but the wood comes through making it really hold up. The mmcs is definitely richer, sweeter and chewy but they both taste great!
