Heavens DoorHighway 61 Blend (handpicked for Michigan)
Blended American Whiskey — USA
Reviewed March 4, 2023Bottle is 053/240 Blend consists of: Batch I14-05 50% Batch H14-26 30% Batch B13-15 20% Nose consists of heavy oak, pine and floral notes. The palate begins semi sweet before black licorice and dark coffee cltakes over. There's a bit of almond or raisin as well. Bit of cocoa on the finish with oak. The bit of the rye blend comes through slightly, but is more prevalent on the finish as more spice comes through the malt presence. The finish stays with you for a bit. An enjoyable sipper that really opens up. -
Bardstown Bourbon Co. Origin Series Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 27, 2023 (edited May 1, 2023)It has a pretty strong, but nice nose. Hints of chocolate, peanut brittle, cherry and sweet caramel. Nice flavors as well. You can definitely taste the proof which isn't a bad thing. It opens with an apple note along with oak that eventually brings out more of the chocolate in the back. Mixed berries and spice as well near the finish. The finish is nice but a bit dry. Average mouthful. -
Filibuster Single Estate Single Barrel Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed February 25, 2023Smells and tastes like a basket of fruits. Strong apple and berry notes. Slight honey with deep caramel. As expected, with this being a wheat, even with the high proof, it's sweet. It would he hard to guess the proof. The finish has some dark oak notes to give it a bit more diversity. -
Jim Beam Pre-Prohibition Style Rye
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 24, 2023 (edited November 9, 2023)The nose doesn't suggest that this would be a rye. Not much in terms of spice. Some sort of dark fruit and cocoa on the nose. Along either dark caramel and oak. Pretty dark and malty for a rye, with some sweetness as well. The flavor leans more on the darker notes. Oak with some char in the back. There's some citrus as well with mint that rises until the finish. There's a decent sweet finish at the end. I'm liking it the more I drink it. It isn't complex, but it is different for a rye. -
A pretty standard bourbon fare. Lightly sweet nose. Bit if vanilla and apple. Flavor profile is oak heavy, but not in a bad way. There's some nice char in there, but it seems to mostly take it over. Dark caramel and some dark coffee note hide in the back. Finish ends a bit sweet with a bit of mint. Not bad at all for the price.

Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Batch Proof 123.2
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 18, 2023It's somewhat unique but not necessarily complex. Hints of smoke and wood on the nose. The flavor doesn't have much to offer, but it's interesting. Smoke, wood, pecan, almond, vanilla, and pear. There's some good flavor here, but nothing that will blow your mind. -
The nose is actually quite nice. Sweet butter, apple, a bit floral, and pepper. The flavor here is much to be desired. Sure, I didn't have high expectations going in, and there is little positive to come away with. Quite a bit of leather, some tobacco and oak. There's some slight green apple in the background. Some dark licorice and spearmint as well. The finish is a bit bitter and off-putting. I bought this in a taster, so I'm not exactly sure about the cost of a standard bottle. I knew it wasn't much going in. Still, there's much better cheap options.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed February 11, 2023Just a monster of a pour. Nose has some slight herbal and floral notes. Mostly spice, banana char and vanilla is present. There's a slight oak note at the beginning with dark caramel and spice. There's banana as well, but more sweetness and fruit begins to open up. Banana, apple, sweet like candy. Not in the artificial sense mind you. It finishes on heavy spice and caramel. It's quite hot. Which is understandable at the proof it is at. There is just a lot here and is loaded with flavor.
