Booker's Bourbon Batch 2017-04 Sip Awhile
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 24, 2018 (edited December 10, 2018)Cinnamon on nose upfront with vanilla a little bit later. Rich and hot. Lots of spice with plenty of sweetness and medium wood. Fairly oily mouthfeel. Smooths out a bit with a couple drops of water. Cinnamon holds up throughout. Maybe even a little bit of cola? 4.1.80.0 USD per BottleMammography Education Inc -
Getting some dark cherry notes with butterscotch, caramel and vanilla on the nose. Fairly spicy flavor with some heat. A woody finish hangs on for quite a while. A little thin on the mouthfeel. A couple drops of water gives me a bit of oil and a ton of vanilla on the nose. This one didn’t start as strong for me as I’d remembered, but it finishes well.45.0 USD per BottleMammography Education Inc

AJ’s Fine Foods 2018 barrel pick (11 years old, warehouse P). Cinnamon raisin and corn on nose. Leather, tea, cigar and some light smoke flavor. Just enough of an oily/creamy mouthfeel to keep it interesting. Not much in the way of sweetness, but not completely dry either. All in all, a nice bourbon...especially for the very low price point. Side note - a drop of water brings out some interesting nuances. 3.8.28.0 USD per BottleAJ's Fine Foods

Royal Lochnagar 12 Year (Game of Thrones-House Baratheon)
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed November 21, 2018 (edited November 30, 2018)Nice light copper color with a rich complex nose. The flavor isn’t as intense as the nose and color might suggest, but still nice. Basically a darker, richer and zestier version of a normal Highlands scotch. Mouthfeel is a notch or two below “creamy”, but definitely not “thin”. Fun to try, but maybe not worth the price? 3.77.80.0 USD per BottleAJ's Fine Foods -
Willett Family Estate Bottled 3 Year Straight Rye
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 17, 2018 (edited November 29, 2018)Butterscotch and a hint of maple on the nose. Reasonably sweet with a medium-bodied, oily mouthfeel. Some spice with a bit of tang. This was my gateway whiskey and, surprisingly, it still does not disappoint.45.0 USD per BottleMammography Education Inc -
Clyde May's Special Reserve Alabama Style Whiskey (110 Proof)
Flavored Whiskey — USA
Reviewed November 13, 2018 (edited August 11, 2019)55% ABV Alabama style whiskey infused with dried apples and cinnamon. The additions are not at all overwhelming and create a delicious flavor profile. Super good. Reminiscent of some of the better High West bottles. 4.25.60.0 USD per BottleMammography Education Inc -
Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 13, 2018 (edited November 24, 2018)Total Wine barrel selection from 2018. Thin, but has a sweet, sharp citrus and peach flavor profile. A fair amount of spice. Water cuts sharpness/spice and brings on floral notes. Seems similar to Russel’s Reserve, which would make sense considering the barrels are hand selected by Jimmy Russel. 3.87.49.0 USD per BottleMammography Education Inc -
Typical vanilla and sugar cane with some additional tropical fruits on the nose. Lower ABV compared to the 2005 makes it more mellow. Not as sweet and with a pleasant medicinal flavor. Quite good, but not nearly as good as the 2005. Also improves with a drop of water. 4.15.65.0 USD per BottleMammography Education Inc
