Tastes

I’m a big fan of the Willett 4year rye so I was curious how their bourbon stacks up. Their rye is a very interesting mash bill and tastes much different than your typical Kentucky ryes. This bourbon surprisingly has a really similar taste profile to the rye which probably means it’s a high rye mash bill. Still it’s an enjoyable pour with a lot of heavy oak on the palate. This bourbon is noticeably different from other Kentucky bourbons.

It's the finish that keeps on going and going that makes this whiskey shine.

The standard Hibiki Harmony is one of my favorite Japanese whiskies and even though the price has gone up in recent years I still think it’s one of the better quality Japanese whiskies at its price point. The Master’s Select steps it’s up a notch with a more floral nose almost like rose peddles and the palate has a stronger sherry influence than the regular harmony. Overall this whisky is delicate and really balanced. I wish it wasn’t just sold in travel retailers and we can have it here in the States in 750 ml bottle!!
