Not a bad tasting bourbon and especially for the price. Sweet banana bread on the nose which is the best part of the drink. The the palate is very sweet, more so than the other wheated bourbons, Markers Mark and Weller. Being a wheated bourbon there isn’t much spice to it and a of hint of oak on the tail end of the finish.

I will start by saying that i am not a big fan of the standard four year Templeton and I definitely did not like their shady marketing practices making people believe that they distilled their own whiskey. With that being said my dad had a bottle of 6 year so i didn't have to buy a bottle or a pour at a bar. This 6 year is a step up from the four year and is better than what i was expecting. With that being said it is not your typical spicy rye whiskey and it's more juicy than dry. It is an easy drink to sip on at a reasonable price if you are somewhat new to ryes. Don't expect an over the top complex sipper, enjoy it in a cocktail or on the rocks.

Knappogue Castle 12 Year Bourbon Cask Matured
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed December 26, 2019 (edited February 28, 2020)I have to say, Irish whiskey is not one of my favorites styles and i have been slowly trying new bottles to see if anything is worth me buying a bottle of. The 12 year Knappogue hits the mark for me in the sense that it tastes closer to a Scotch rather than an Irish. -
Tried this in a flight with Old Forester Statesman and 1920. what this has in common with Brown-Forman's Woodford Reserve is that they are both oak forward which I like. This is a nice step up from the Old Forester 86 proof. It's a good overall bottle at a good price point for cocktails or evening sipping.

Willett Family Estate Bottled 6 Year Straight Rye
Rye — Indiana (bottled in Kentucky), USA
Reviewed December 20, 2019Tasted 12/17/19 I'm a little bit confused about the description saying it's MGP whiskey because what i had is definitely Willet's own distillate. Compared to the 4 year, the 6 is more refined and does not taste as the younger brother. It would be nice to see more older batches from them.20.0 USD per Pour
