Revisiting vs different competition. Succinctly, an affordable dessert drink. Very sweet and inoffensive. Traditional caramel color. Thin. Butterscotch and light oak on the nose, with vanilla pudding. Definitely some lactose/creaminess. Taste is smooth, creamy vanilla pudding on the palate. Sweet butterscotch. Only a gentle idoine in the front of the mouth. Very thin body, with a fleeting creme brûlée finish.24.0 USD per Bottle

Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 16, 2018 (edited February 3, 2019)Man do I like this stuff... and it’s affordable. I prefer the blended recipes of the small batch vs the single barrel. They compliment each other so well - better than the sum of the parts. Light honey color. Honey/mead on the nose with some cotton candy and Frosted Flakes with milk. Immediately sweet butter cake on the first taste. Very sweet, in a good way. White grape must and kettle corn, and a dominant floral note that many bourbons don’t have. Maybe Cinnamon Toast Crunch/horchata. Medium-thin body, but very creamy without being thick. Finishes with a gentle lingering spice in the back of the throat. Rose water on the tongue that lingers. -
Light, creamy, and sweet enjoyable nose - toffee and vanilla pudding. A hint of sweet cereal grain, but overall almost no flavor. No burn or spice. Criminally thin. Fleeting essence of toast on the finish. I get why people like this - it’s inoffensive but nobody’s home. Super drinkable, not memorable.24.0 USD per Bottle

Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 12, 2018 (edited February 4, 2019)2.9/5.0 Peanuts and kettle corn nose - not sweet - with a hint of mint. All buttery peanuts on the tongue with some sweetness. Oily and moderately thick. Still peanuts on the finish with a flash of heat, barrel char and lingering cinnamon. Peanut dominated, but interesting. I can get why people could get turned off - it’s distinctive. On a different day could have rated below 2.5.14.0 USD per Bottle -
New bottle/barrel vs previous tasting notes. Soft, sweet nose with a hint of roasted pineapple and a bit of ethanol. Immediate flash of burn fading to classic toffee and vanilla flavors with a subtle green apple. Thin. Gentle heat on the finish with a long, lingering iodine astringency. Not a bad whiskey but would have trouble choosing over others at the price. Actually, enjoy it more drinking a bit faster and not trying to suss the detail out of every sip. Much more smooth caramel.26.0 USD per Bottle

Cazadores Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed September 11, 2018Good value for the price but notably rougher than ideal for sipping. Forgiven based on the approachable price point. I generally mix this these days but probably won’t buy again.26.0 USD per Bottle
