Nose: oily old oak off the bat. Fatty, oxidized vanilla deeper into it with some notes of honey, sherry, rum, and a bit of apricot. Slight rye spice buried in there. Pallet: that the spice surprisingly shows on the front of the pallet - kind of bright for a 15yr. Then nose dives straight off the cliff, down into a fatty almond vanilla oak sherry mid. Average finish - a sweet oak hangs for a bit with tinges of all the favors before. 7.2

Nose is mostly a deep caramel molasses with a hint of maple. Also some dried fruit- raisin, cherry. A little oak tannin too. Pallete is very juicy and fills the front / mid palette. Molasses and dried fruit seem to be the dominate flavors. Dried fruit hangs on the finish with some dry oak around the edges. Almost makes you want to chew on it.

Hancock's President's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 31, 2023 (edited November 23, 2023)Tastes a lot like Blanton’s- creamy caramel without much of a bite. A little bit more of a punch though, more like Eagle rare -

Isaac Bowman Straight Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed August 16, 2023 (edited November 23, 2023)The port finish adds a lfruity character that falls on the lighter side- kind of like a pinot grigio wine. Not really any oak, but the carmelly corn character of a bourbon is there, bot not front and center. I get a lot of brine on this- almost like a Talisker storm scotch, but with the bourbon backbone. Maybe its just me. Its pleasant. Not really complex or challenging. Good to try, but not one i think i’ll reach for very often -
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye
Rye — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed August 14, 2023 (edited July 19, 2024)Nose is a lot of dried fruit (fig, raisin, maybe a little pear) with a touch of herbal clove spice and some honey sweetness. Taste has a nice almost jammey dried fruit hit on the front surrounded by a good bitey clove-cinnamon kick. That chills out on the mid palette and molds into this nice almost peachy honey / brown sugar sweetness that hangs in the center-back of the tongue for a bit on the finish (medium-short). A bit of oak spice on the finish too. Im surprised how much i like this. Its more interesting than I expected, but also a pretty easy drinker75.0 USD per Bottle -
26yr old Canadian whiskey finished in Weller barrels. At 76% adv, it’s really damn hot- which is noticeable, but not nearly to the extent I expected. A bit of water opens it up nice. Really good Canadian whiskey with some fruit and lots of maple honey action. Nice medium-long finish too. Very enjoyable75.0 USD per Bottle
