Nose: chocolate covered berries and honey - very enticing Palate: starts off with some caramel and vanilla with some spice and grains flowing through towards the back - ok, bit of a let down from the nose Finish: nice slow burn with a good amount of oak spice, but then turns into licorice and black pepper at the very end - not a fan Overall: may have to revisit, had heard such good things about this pour, but in the end it is not quite to my liking

Jack Daniel's Triple Mash
Blended American Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed June 4, 2022 (edited June 14, 2022)This one is really fun to get to know. At first sniff you get the slightest hint of the classic JD banana note, but then this gives way to more vanilla, honey, herbal notes, and some oak spice. Subsequent sniffs also bring some neat fruit and cream smells. The first taste immediately reminds you there is rye in this blend with some upfront spice, which then gives way to cream and honey with the banana showing up again faintly towards the back. The finish is quicker than I suspected, but this is where the maltiness also shows most prominently. Overall, totally unique and enjoyable. -
Castle & Key Small Batch Bourbon 2022 (Batch 1)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 14, 2022 (edited July 4, 2022)So this one started off slow, nose was not that impressive, lots of spice and leather at first but after awhile it opened up and some of the dark and tart fruits showed up. Same on the palate. The finish does linger for quite a long time and is wonderfully spicy.14.0 USD per PourPaddock & Whisky -
Having a hard time getting a clear read on this one, perhaps due to the watered down proof. The nose vassilates between chocolate and herbal (mostly dill) notes. There is a dollop of honey. Not unpleasant, but definitely odd. The herbal notes continue on the palate and almost border on some pickled notes, along with the classic rye licorice note and some spice. Predictably the finish is short and unremarkable. Overall, disappointing for such a nice aged stated pour that could of been so much more.88.99 USD per BottleStateline Elite

I was pleasantly surprised by this one, never quite sure what you are going to get with these craft distilleries. This one opens up with lots of dark fruits, some vanilla, and brown sugar. A very pleasant nose. On the palate you get some of that young corn note that is so common with less mature craft bottles. Towards the back of the palate some of the vanilla returns, along with some spice that makes for a decent, if unspectacular, finish. Overall, not at all disappointing for what this is.

Immediately on the nose their are some delicious notes of cherries, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. The palate is disappointingly muted compared to the nose. Notes of vanilla and some oak spice come through, but disappear quickly. The taste of the finish also fades quickly, but there is an interestingly long Kentucky hug in your chest that lingers afterwards. Overall, a nice easy sipper, but not something I would rush to buy again.
