Calumet Farm 16 Year Single Rack Black Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 26, 2023 (edited March 27, 2023)This bourbon has the best banana note that I’ve tasted in a bourbon. It’s almost like a candied banana note then the brown sugar comes in with the rye spice. A lot is on this one, it’s very delicious! I always get a banana note on old forester which I appreciate but this banana note is so much more refined. It drinks around 95 proof and a lengthy finish. Great pour 94/100 -
Knob Creek Single Barrel Select (Missouri Customers) W-1 F-5 R-5
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed March 22, 2023These knob creek single store picks are incredible. They are very rich with heavy dark cherry notes and tobacco. There is a lot more on it with the 120 proof but surely doesn’t drink like it. I stopped drinking it just to try others and back to it a few months ago. Soo damn good, 92/100 -

Reviewed December 1, 2022Rich berries, cherries, chocolate cream, dark oak, marshmallow, sandalwood, and MGP base..

Maker's Mark Private Select Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 11, 2022 (edited June 18, 2023)I picked up the “Cherry on Top” store pick. $71 with tax and well worth the price. This stuff is heavy on the butterscotch then a trans ion to an apple cherry note that runs a long Marathon of a finish. The very back end the spices kick in and a brown sugar. This bottle is a special one 95-100 🍒 💣 -
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 11, 2022 (edited March 22, 2023)Taste very similar to rare bread with more cherry fruit notes. Nice burnt sugar flavor that runs the gauntlet through your mouth. 90-100 -
Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana (bottled in Nevada), USA
Reviewed October 14, 2022 (edited December 21, 2022)It’s bold but sweet and creamy, the more you drink it the better it gets.. Damn, got it from Colorado and won’t be able to get back there for a minute, should of gotten 2.. Comparing this to Remus 6 being they are both MGP, both great n different 92/100 Cheers -
Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI (2022 Medley)
Bourbon — Indiana , USA
Reviewed October 11, 2022 (edited January 10, 2023)This is my 2nd Remus, the first was the 5. This one delivers a soft strawberry and cherry cream mid palate and finishes medium to long with a long rye kick full of Christmas spices. This is a beautiful bourbon, I’ll be getting a few more bottles before you won’t see it anymore. The 5 is better by a hair and it should be with age on it but this bottle is not far behind. This whiskey is so different although very quintessential flavor notes 93/100 Cheers 🥃 This whisky is straight sexy, grab a bottle -
Knob Creek 12 Year Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 22, 2021 (edited October 23, 2021)Good long finish, heavy on the wood but nice cherry note along the looooong ride of a finish. Almost a bit syrupy which daddy like but needs a little more on it to give me a better score. Had higher hopes but I’m sure the 120 will knock my block off. And block off meaning my tonsils off. 89/100
