Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 11 Year (Spring 2018)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 26, 2019 (edited January 20, 2020)Nose: smooth oily sugary oak. The wheated mashbill and resemblance to Old Rip 10 comes through for me. Palate: very smooth and rich. Not much spice. A muted Old Rip 10 year or less spicy and sweeter than Old Weller Antique. Finish: no bite. Quite smooth.18.0 USD per PourOBC Kitchen -
Nose: tremendously rich sweet oak, sugary popcorn, and wheat. Like walking into a wooden warehouse with hanging tobacco, and a molasses or toffee-filled confectionary shop that’s baking away. Wow. One of the best noses in bourbon. Palate: rich and oily, and while the palate is underwhelming compared to the amazing nose, light spices and butterscotch come through Finish: only a slight bite considering the 55% abv on this bottle. Quite sweet and smooth. A supercharged Maker’s Mark that is now one of my favorite bourbons.Liquor Barn

Hancock's President's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 25, 2019Liquor Barn (KY) store pick (2018) Nose: similar to Blanton’s as it shares the same mash bill at Buffalo Trace. A little more toasted oak up front though. Sort of like a blend of Blanton’s and McKenna 10 from Heaven Hill because of some toasted nutty notes. Vanilla is there as well. Palate: more spicy vanilla and slight butterscotch. Sweeter than Blanton’s but considering the 15% rye in the mash it’s not that spicy at all. Finish: short and sweet. Not much bite. Kind of a muted, sweeter Blanton’s/ETL. Will have to come back to it. Doesn’t rise to that level though as Blanton’s is a four-star pour for me.54.99 USD per BottleLiquor Barn -

Nose: slight nuttiness, coconut, vanilla, quite sweet aside from that HH peanut thing Palate: vanilla, sweet oak, almost a tea flavor, spice in the background, quite rich for a $10 bottle of bourbon Finish: spicy and medium, but a crispy almost cola taste at the start My favorite bottom shelf bourbon.

Nose: vanilla, toasted oak and cinnamon, and ethanol Palate: rich and hot. The rye spice and proof were quite a hot mix in this bourbon and I’ve had higher proofs than went down smoother Finish: long and pleasant. Sweet even. Will have to come back to this one because I got everything in the OF 1910 just without the BBQ which I quite like and lots more alcohol.11.0 USD per PourFeast BBQ

Wild Turkey Bourbon 101
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 20, 2019 (edited February 18, 2022)I’m amazed at how overlooked this bourbon is today’s Buffalo Trace-crazed market. It holds up very for me vs BT, Elijah Craig, Knob Creek and others in the 20-30 USD price range. Nose: sweet toffee or butterscotch, hints of light citrus, some pleasant oak Palate: spicy vanilla, zesty Finish: quick for a 100-proofer but pleasing The major notes such as vanilla or butterscotch are not as in your face as Buffalo Trace or Eagle Rare. It’s very balanced. That’s a good thing in my opinion.20.0 USD per BottleLiquor Barn
