BT has emphasized approachability with this blend and succeeded. As an intro to bourbon, it is a neat (pun intended) and innocuous pour. The nose is sweet; vanilla with a bit of cherry and perhaps some hay. Palate provides mediu. body, light baking spice and cherry coke flavors. Finish is is fairly short continuation of the spice and cherry coke, quickly fading to a memory of sweetness. Good bourbon 101 (class, not proof) blend that will encourage a rapid graduation to a more sophisticated offering such as Blantons or Eagle Rare.40.0 USD per BottleDurham ABC Store

Cedar Ridge The QuintEssential American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Iowa, USA
Reviewed February 14, 2024Batch 12: An orchard on the nose, mainly apples and plums, some nuts, with a bit of grass. The palate gives oak with a background of fruit and faint sweetness, transitioning to pepper. The pepper slowly fades, along with the fruit, for a long finish. This Distillery gets the vatting and solera casking just right. other than perhaps providing some nuttiness on the nose, I don't detect the peat (from one-half of the distillate).60.0 USD per Bottle -
Cherry pie, cinnamon and vanilla on the nose, with faint oak. Taste is sweet vanilla creme, with a rush of cinnamon and then evolving to dry oak and leather. Finish is fading cinnamon and oak. Delicious. I happened to arrive at a State outlet one morning just as the staff was Stocking a case of Eagle Rare. They advised me to buy it then because it would be gone by that afternoon. I didn't need any encouragement.45.0 USD per BottleABC Store Orange County

Wyoming Whiskey National Parks No. 3
Bourbon — Wyoming, USA
Reviewed November 7, 2023 (edited December 10, 2023)Nose is not particularly strong, with iodine and slight oaky character. Palate begins with an echo of the iodine with a strong honey/brown sugar surge, flowing into a dark spice. Finish is medium length, with spice fading to oak. Not an unpleasant dram at all, but not one that grabs me and demands another glass.74.0 USD per BottleFlaviar -
Yellowstone American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 14, 2023 (edited December 10, 2023)Limestone Branch brand, but the label tells me it was distilled and aged in Indiana. Nose is grassy, with some ill-defined spice. Palate begins with grass, but quickly turns to pepper with lots of heat. Finish is consistent with the taste; pepper and heat that slowly fades leaving heat at the back of the pallette. I agree with others that this is too high an ABV and too young.59.0 USD per BottleABC Store -
291 Small Batch Bourbon, Aspen Wood Finished
Bourbon — Colorado, USA
Reviewed April 1, 2023 (edited December 10, 2023)Given the high reviews the 291 product line has received, I really was looking forward to enjoying this bottle. Unfortunately, the Aspen wood was too much. It has a nose of maple syrup with a slightly woody background. On the palate, the Aspen comes through strongly, overwhelming anything else except a faint molasses taste. The funish is Aspen all the way. I get the impression there is a very good bourbon underneath the Aspen, but it cannot push through the dominance of the finishing staves. -
Horse Soldier Signature Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Ohio, USA
Reviewed February 4, 2023 (edited December 10, 2023)Umami (meaty) and a bit of cherry cola on the nose. Palate is smooth, with vanilla and a bit of spiciness, transitioning to a mustiness (sawdust?) with a hint of the cola returning. Drinkable pour, but nothing stands out. Bottle now says made and bottled in Ohio. When will the Somerset, Ky. distillery be completed?59.0 USD per BottleABC Store Orange County -
Chattanooga Whiskey Cask 111
Bourbon — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed January 29, 2023 (edited December 10, 2023)Toffee and barrel char on the nose. Palate shows vanille cream nd plenty of spiciness. Medium finish contains cardamom fading to a more general spiciness.54.0 USD per Bottle
