As noted, a solid whiskey that hits all of the standard notes, though I prefer a higher rye content.

Great as a pour against any standard, but not as great as my past Barrell offerings. Would still try in the future, given the ever-changing nature.

Very neutral and dangerously sippable. Best vodka I've had for the money.

Pine-forward and delicious. Unique flavor profile makes it mostly unsuitable for standard cocktails beyond G&S and Martinis though, IMHO.

More citrus-forward than others, but goes great with Gin & Soda.

Competing with Rittenhouse for my preferred rye mixer. Also sippable.

Better than the standard, the higher proof balances out the sweeter notes better

Sweeter than the base Maker's, and even more vanilla. Very tasty, but particular flavor profile limits its use in cocktails.

Found it thin, the only depth of flavor being rubbing alcohol, baffling as to how it won any awards.
