Belvedere Single Estate Rye: Lake Bartężek
Unflavored Vodka — Poland
Reviewed June 6, 2023 (edited June 24, 2023)Taste is well above average. Nose is a bit heavy for 80 prooff. Super easy to sip neat and enjoy, but my preference is 1:1 with topo chico with a shaved lemon rind and ice. -
Somewhat unremarkable nose, fairly smooth ie weak, slightly peppery yet mostly sweet, mixed with black licorice?, short finish. Not “the” bourbon to order neat, but it’s simplicity is appealing as a mixer and makes a decent “house” (getcatchaby) old fashioned or jim & ginger. Might be good to have on hand if going low key and wanna save $. BTW-I haven’t had Jim Beam white in 20+/-years, sampled it tonight with Bulliet bourbon and it stood up and made me notice-especially now that bourbons are becoming more scarce and therefore pricey.

Maker's Mark Private Selection - Bill Jr's 46 Cask - Spec's (2020)
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed May 28, 2022Bill Jr’s August 2021 vintage is 108.4 proof, has a nice nose, long legs, and a finish that goes the distance. I’m impressed with how smooth the flavors come across in this cask strength Spec’s private selection. -
I could drink this straight or on ice all night long. Smooth, rich, and balanced between earthy and fruity, with very little pepper flavor. Surprised a tequila this nice isn’t harder to find or more expense. Good as a ranch water but not as good as a peppery Hornitos silver in a marg or paloma cocktail.
