David Nicholson Reserve Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky (bottled in Missouri), USA
Reviewed February 11, 2018 -
Admittedly not the best nose, a bit too harsh of an alcohol smell but the pallette is just what I was looking for in that cheap-ish range that's good for sipping. It's bold and big, definitely comes out swinging full of flavor. It has a good amount of heat on the finish, but even drinking it neat it's a superbly balance drink when you factor everything in including the price. I've paid well over double the price I paid for this bottle and didn't get half of the flavor and value. Add this to your cabinet, it's a no brainer! I would rate it a true 4 stars.

Russell's Reserve 10 Year Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 8, 2018 (edited January 8, 2019)Don't be so quick to judge... At first I was let down. I'm a big Turkey fan and had high hopes. The nose is wonderfully full with cherry and vanilla, brown sugar... But at first the palette is what disappointed me. After one glass I was ready to rate it 3.5 stars just because of the pallette. It seemed bland, almost watered down. The finish is strong with lots of oak and pepper, but I like that pallette to come out swinging. After a few more glasses, it's dawned upon me that the pallette is just a bit more delicate than perhaps I'm used to... (single barrel, 120+ proof bourbons.) Once you take the time to savor it (isn't that how it should always be) it really comes out and shines. I'm not experienced enough with tasting notes to really detail it, but I am definitely enjoying sipping this neat. It's fantastic. And I'm glad I gave it more time! My local liquor store has this at $33, and I'd buy it all day for that. -
Wild Turkey Master's Keep Decades
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 5, 2018 (edited June 6, 2018)WIsh I could say more, but I like the flavor profile. Rich, complex, bold, and a nice sweetness to it. I have to say that it's probably not worth the $$$$$ when you can buy Rare Breed or Kentucky spirit for less than a third of the price, but for true Turkey lovers and if you've got the pocketbook for it, I definitely recommend it.
