I'm newish to rum, so my palate is not very dialed in yet, but here we go. On the nose I got lots of molasses sweetness with some fruit eccence. The fruit sweetness continues on the palate with a hint of chocolate. The finish is sweet and quick. Overall I really enjoy this compared to the Goslings dark rum that I normally get at the same price point.21.0 USD per BottleBambooze Fine Wine & Liquor

Aged my white dog in a 2L barrel for 87 days, came out at 68% ABV and I proofed it down to 55%. Lots of vanilla on the nose with some corn, maybe not yet baked cornbread. Was surprisingly velvety on the palate where the rye spice also makes an appearance. Finish fades fast but is not at all unpleasant. Would like to try this experiment again and let it age a bit longer to see what happens.

Johnny Drum Private Stock Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 8, 2021 (edited November 14, 2021)Lots of vanilla on the nose with an underlying sweetness that on subsequent sniffs seems more like baked apples. The palate is creamy and buttery at first and then starts to get some complex spice notes towards the back which then carry on through the finish. Really a unique pour that is quite wonderful and surprisingly complex. -
On the nose I first got a hint of saw dust or a musty smell that then gave way to some vanilla and some dark fruit showed up subsequent sniffs. Vanilla dominates the front of the palate and is quite present, with the rye spice coming through at the back and has a nice oily mouthful. The finish is medium in length with the spice continuing through from the palate. For the price this is a great value pour and very enjoyable.

Rabbit Hole Heigold Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 30, 2021 (edited July 29, 2021)Lots of citrus, almost lemonade, on the nose and coated with honey. The sweet citrus notes carry over to the palate and has a nice buttery mouthfeel. The finish is fast but not at all unpleasant, but surprised that the rye spice barely makes an appearance during the entire process. This is one I would like to come back to eventually. -
Willett Family Estate Small Batch Rye 4 Year
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 26, 2021 (edited July 14, 2021)This is some amazing stuff! Floral notes, apple cinnamon spice, and slight menthol on the nose. The palate is rounded and buttery that coats your mouth. The finish is where the rye spice and wood char finally shows up, along with a bit of a dry feeling. All of this comes at you from a cask strength rye where the alcohol is not all that noticeable. Will be thoroughly enjoying this bottle to the very end. -
This is a solid, if unspectacular bourbon. Lots of vanilla and caramel sweetness on the nose with subtle hint of the smokiness that will follow on the palate. As advertised on the nose, the palate starts with some smokiness that then gives way back to the vanilla sweetness of the nose. The finish involves a bit of heat and spice but does not last overly long. Certainly an enjoyable pour, especially with the surprise smoke flavors that are present.

First note on the nose was banana bread, which then gave way to slight caramel with the faintest hint of smoke. Front of the palate is dominated by oak spice, with a hint of butterscotch sweetness. Finish fades quickly with spice notes that linger. Mouthfeel is somewhat oily. Overall lots of classic Beam present here, with the additional oak spice bumped up by the extra oak finishing.

I get a good amount of brown sugar on the nose, with some hints of cereal grain attached. The palate consists of mainly cereal grains from the nose mixed with some pepper that tickles the palate. The finish is quick and dry, leaving the pepper notes of the palate as the dominant expression. Absolutely enjoyable, only the finish leaves something to be desired due to the richness of the notes that are apparent on the nose and palate.33.99 USD per Bottle
