On the nose its very soft with hints of green apple and fruit. First sip tastes like a true irish. No frill, no wine finish, no BS. This has the right spice with apple, oak, toasted and char, and a slight vanilla finish. Ice changes nothing. This one is great and can be enjoyed anyway you like it. I highly recommend getting this one. It was very affordable and worth every penny!!

Very light on the nose with nothing standing out. On a second nosing with my nose almost touching the juice I get a little vanilla. First sip is easy and without spice. The vanilla is there along with some slight peaty and a little sherry on the finish. Ice cube doesn’t offer anything new but takes out all spice and leaves the remanents of oak, char, and a himt of sherry. This is an easy sipper and could be dangerous with a friend and some ice.

On the nose i get dark fruits and berries like plum, raisin, and blackberry. There is a slight hint if honey on the nose but hard to find. First sip is soft and full of dried fruit, honey, and a touch of sherry on the finish. Ice improves on what was already smooth. Fruit, toasked oats, and honey are all rounded out by the sherry finish. This is a great whiskey and should be on your shelf.

On the nose there are hints of spice, fruit, and caramel apple. First sip offers a light and quick burn mid tongue. The oak barrel, fruit, and rum find its way through during the finish. Ice softens the spice and pulls out the oak and rum. This is a good evening sipper and can be enjoyed anyway you want. Great price so I recommend.

Penelope Barrel Strength (Batch 16) Four Grain
Bourbon — Lawrenceburg, IN & Bardstown, KY, USA
Reviewed December 16, 2023On the nose there is chocolate, oak, olive (yes olive). First sip offers a great blend of high proof spice and subtle chocolate, cherry, leather, and char. Ice calms some of the spicy up front but the heat still remians on the finish which is pleasant. This is a great offering from Penelope and probably my favorite. -
John A.P. Conoley American Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon — Bogue Sound, NC, USA
Reviewed December 16, 2023On the nose at first its soft, subtle, and sweet. Soft floral. On the first sip I’m confused at the fact this is 105 proof. There is not any heat or burn. VERY Dangerous. Sweet amd smooth across the board. Nothing too heavy that stands out. This is not complex but an easy every day sipper. Ice pulls in a little extra heat and spice/black pepper up front. -
On the nose there is strong notes of vanilla, oak, char, leather, spice (maybe clove), and a slight toasted apple. First sip offers black pepper up front, oak, and a char finish. Ice doesnt change much. Pepper up front, oak and vanilla mid taste, and char finish. This one is good but nothing special to me.
