New Southern Revival Jimmy Red Corn Bourbon
Bourbon — South Carolina , USA
Reviewed August 24, 2021 (edited September 21, 2021)Starts off with an absolute beautiful nose. Strong notes of vanilla gives way to some chocolate and dark fruit notes. There is also some ethanol notes, perhaps due to the young age, but not overpowering or unpleasant. The palate brings lots of corn on the front of the palate that turns to grain mid palate and then some oak spice at the back. The finish is somewhat quick with some pleasantly lingering heat. Overall very nice and mildly complex despite its young age.92.0 USD per BottleStateline Elite -
Maybe it is the hype, but I was not all that blown away by this. I got vanilla and baking spices on the nose that then turned to cinnamon/candied apples or pears. The palate was very hot with lots of wood spice and then some of the vanilla notes coming towards the end. The finish was long and enjoyable. Glad i tried it, but have no inclination to try again.

Parker's Heritage Barrel Finished in Orange Curaçao Barrels
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 21, 2021Lots of vanilla and caramel on the nose and then the orange notes really come alive on the palate. The finish is mild and pleasant. -
This was surprisingly wonderful. Lots of citrus along with coconut and chocolate on the nose. The palate brings some butter and cream and then some oak on the mid palate. The finish is gentle and pleasant. Wouldn't buy a bottle due to the price, but enjoyed the pour very much.15.0 USD per PourPreservation Distillery

George Dickel 15 Year Tennessee Single Barrel
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed August 17, 2021 (edited September 16, 2021)This is an absolutely lovely pour. The color is a gorgeous dark amber. The nose brings fruit, caramel, and vanilla notes, along with the classic Dickel "vitamin" note. The difference here is the richness and pleasantness of the combined notes in the glass. The palate brings immediate immediate heat and oak spice, but then turns into baked apples and hints of cinnamon. The finish is medium in length and leaves an oily at first, but then dry mouthfeel. Overall this has been one of the best new pours of the year and I can't wait to revisit it again soon. -
Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 14, 2021 (edited August 15, 2021)This pour was from barrel 8908 which was barreled on 5/5/08. The nose on this is absolutely beautiful, loads of dark cherries, chocolate and vanilla. On the palate the cherries and vanilla continue with the vanilla taking the front seat with some baking spices and slight butterscotch making an appearance towards the back of the palate. The finish is surprisingly quick, but very enjoyable. Will be going back to this bottle again and again. -
Michter's US*1 American Whiskey
Other Whiskey — USA
Reviewed August 8, 2021 (edited November 27, 2021)The nose opens up with loads of butterscotch, vanilla, and granny smith apples. The palate brings more of the vanilla, along with some caramel and a delightful amount of heat and spice, along with a somewhat thin, but still oily mouthfeel. The finish is quick with a quick flash of spice with the only drawback being that it leaves your mouth a bit dry. Overall a slightly better than average daily sipper that will never disappoint.Frugal MacDoogal Beverage Warehouse -
Plantation Barbados Grande Reserve
Aged Rum — Barbados
Reviewed August 7, 2021 (edited December 28, 2021)Not bad, but used it almosy exclusively as a mixer. When tried neat it has lots of sweet notes, mostly fruity, and a bit of brown sugar. Enjoyed it but not in a hurry to buy another bottle anytime soon.
