Maker's Mark 46 French Oaked
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 18, 2021 (edited April 15, 2021)Not as sweet as standard Maker’s but with a lot more complexity. It’s got the vanilla and baking spices of Maker’s but with a lot more woody and oaky notes. It’s actually a nice compromise between my wife’s bourbon preference (Knob Creek) and my preferences (Maker’s and Woodford). Nothing overwhelming or out of proportion. Nice. -
CHINOLA Passion Fruit Liqueur
Fruit Liqueurs — Dominican Republic
Reviewed March 14, 2021 (edited May 25, 2022)Big passion fruit taste and not too syrupy to drink straight. Like drinking boozy fruit nectar. Perfect for the summer! -
The only Old Tom style gin that I can reliably find, but a good one. Neat you get the cardamom and the orange peel hitting you just as strong as the juniper. My favorite use, though, is as the centerpiece of a Ford, a martini style cocktail with Old Tom Gin, Benedictine, and dry vermouth. One of my top ten cocktails!

Ragged Branch Signature Bourbon
Bourbon — Virginia , USA
Reviewed January 23, 2021 (edited September 26, 2022)Lots of spicy notes, but not sweet enough for what I usually look for in a bourbon. -
Ragged Branch Wheated Bourbon
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed January 23, 2021 (edited January 4, 2022)Not bad. Good combo of spicy with sweet and smooth. Like all Ragged Branch, though, it’s pricier than its value.
