Four Roses Single Barrel Select Binny's OESO
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 22, 2024 (edited May 24, 2024)Bull and Bush single barrel pick, 2023 - Denver, CO T8ke: 8.3 Nose has a creamy caramel / brown sugar with a dark fruit sweetness. A bit of a charred oak note too. Some light grassy note as well, but not off putting at all Big round sweetness opens up on the flavor - brown sugar, caramel with a cinnamon spice. A deep dark black raspberry, grape, plum, strawberry (super jammy) around it. Great medium-long finish that leaves everything hanging. Really good overall. Inviting, complex, and satisfying through and through -
Laws Henry Road Straight Malt Whiskey
American Single Malt — Colorado, USA
Reviewed May 21, 2024 (edited May 24, 2024)T8ke: 4.4 Nose is very bright bitter-sweet with a young pear / peach / green apple tang and a honey-suckle sweetness with maybe a little brown sugar. Taste is sickle sweet up front with a pretty bold unroasted coffee bean flavor around the edges, some baking spice / toffee on going into a relatively short finish. Its pretty obvious how young this whiskey is, but that being said its actually well done - no young harsh oak flavor like most...especially from CO. No Kentucky hug though, and its a strange flavor profile that I just do not see myself reaching for. -
Wild Turkey Forgiven
Blended American Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 30, 2024 (edited May 1, 2024)Nose is a light butterscotch carmel. Flavor follows suit - light body with that same sweetness and a cinnamon / baking spice bite of front. The up front caramel sweetness turns more into a rye flavor near the end, with a white pepper / black tea tang going into the finish -
Little Book Chapter 6: To the Finish
Blended American Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 26, 2024Definitely get a leather / smoked meat tang, but with a nice rich carmel backbone. First thought was an oak youth note, but it must have been the smoked barrel flavor coming through because it didnt throw me off - blended well with the rest of the palette. It’s almost a cederwood tang -
Little Book Chapter 5: The Invitation
Blended American Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 26, 2024Very good deep rich flavor with an oak-sugar cinnamon punch that stands out a bit. Had kind of a hard time picking out specific descriptors for flavor on this one -

High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 10 (All Scenes)
Rye — USA
Reviewed April 17, 2024 (edited April 18, 2024)T8ke score 7.7 Scene 3. Big finished influence - very wine-like overall. Nose has a mineral tinge with a light sherry-plum-white grape sweetness in the drivers seat. Slight aged oak behind it all. Palate is mineral up front with a dark / dried fruit sweetness quickly taking over. White grape / fig / raisin. Mineral around the edges continues through, finish is medium-long with a good bright punch at first that rolls out with all the sweet fruit notes. Great whiskey for a white wine drinker who wants to change it up. Price is tough, but somewhat justifiable at msrp180.0 USD per Bottle -
Jack Daniel's 12 Year (Batch 2)
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed April 17, 2024 (edited April 18, 2024)Nose is deep and rich charred old oak with a banana molasses sweetness Taste is big and bold up front - oak / molasses punch. Coats the palate like no other with a wild butteriness. Finishes long with a barrel char, powdered-sugar banana fosters, molasses, and a charred-almond tang. Really good -
T8ke: 7.2 Nose has a big oak punch typical of OF, but not harsh. A carmel-molasses richness backs it up Pallette is a big but mellow oak punch on the front, that rolls into a very rich mollases / brown sugar sweetness the rolls into a deep cherry / fig fruitiness. Finish is suprisingly short though- drops off pretty quick. It would be a great $80-100 bottle. For $150 though, I think it would be hard to pull the trigger. There is better and more interesting whiskey out there for that price.34.0 USD per PourThe Lazy Greyhound
