Bull Run American Whiskey 14 year Cabernet Cask
Other Whiskey — Oregon , USA
Reviewed September 16, 2023 (edited September 17, 2023)The nose gives the american whiskey away at first sniff. Smells like other light whiskies ive tried before. Burnt corn, strong oak and a vanilla sweetness. The sweetness probably Comes from the Cabernet cask finish, bit does not smell fruity in my opinion. The typical light flavors come in of vanilla and a creme brûlée taste, but adding a depth to it from the cask finish really helps elevate the american whiskey flavor. The finish has blue berries, black berries and whatever type of grape or berry flavor you want to add here. Overall, im not much of a fan of american whiskies evem though I want to since you can get high age stated light whiskies for a reasonable price. I say this whiskey is pretty one dimensional but…… the wine finish does help it quite a bit.70.0 USD per Bottle -
Bomberger's Declaration 2021
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 31, 2023 (edited November 1, 2023)Nose: burnt oak and chared brown sugar. You dig a lottle more and you get spme caramel aromas. Palate: first sip was a bit disappointing with a thin mouth feel for 108 proof, but after a couple more sips the rich oak flavors and fuity notes come out Finish: sweet mellowing finish where the oak continues all the way through. Hint of caramel comes back in at the end. Im a big oak fan and this bourbon has really nice oak from the nose all the way to the finish.100.0 USD per Bottle -
The nose at first reminded me of Japanese whiskies, bit then it hit me. What it really reminds me of is high aged corn whiskies from Canada. Kind of a burnt grain aroma. The palate is soft and gentle with a creamy texture. Pretty balanced and delicate. The finish does slowly bring in a spicy bite to it with oaky vanilla flavors slowly fading for a relatively long finish.

Starlight Carl T. Huber's Single Barrel Bourbon Finished in Sherry Barrels
Bourbon — Indiana, USA
Reviewed July 15, 2023 (edited October 24, 2023)Strong smells a charred barrels, fig and grape. Really nice way to start things off. Velvety texture orange peel, rich flavors or dark fruits and oak on palate. The finish is long with burnt caramel and vanilla. Slight sticky mouth feel, but overall very nice barrel finished bourbon.
