Batch #40 Young grain and hint of buttered popcorn on the nose. The palate leads off with that hint of butter then transitions to the sweet juicy fruit barrel finished notes before finishing with some rye spiciness. In a way this could be the cheaper, entry level cousin of some of the Barrell blended finished whiskeys. Got it in sale for for $20, given the price it's a nice light, sweet sipper.25.0 USD per Bottle

Batch 6: Noticed more heat and rye spice followed by fruit, primarily apricot, on the palate when the bottle was freshly opened. Now that I've been drinking it for some time the sweet barrel finishing notes come through more. The rye takes more of a back seat with a smooth sugar sweet fruit sip that screams APRICOT! I enjoy the apricot whiskey notes that linger on in my mouth after the sip has finished. Given the proof, it's a refreshing and enjoyable pour, especially in the summer time.65.0 USD per Bottle

Ragged Branch Wheated Bourbon
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed October 17, 2022 (edited November 16, 2023)Sample bottle size. Smells like new oak, hay, and grain. Taste is more new oak followed by an herbal tea or iced tea type flavor. The whiskey feels thin, but the herbal tea flavor still remains in my mouth well after the fact. It's drinkable, but glad I don't have a full bottle. It's not my...cup of tea, pardon the pun.4.0 USD per Pour -
Mellow Corn Bottled in Bond Whiskey
Corn — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 12, 2022 (edited December 4, 2022)A nice light yellow corn whiskey. Nose of corn and light oak. Palate of sweet corn and light oak. Slight heat and a quick finish. Simple, sweet, corn, and oak. It's good for what it is and nothing more. A fun novelty with a cult following. Enjoy it for what it is.18.0 USD per Bottle -
VABC Barrel Select #178 Not much heat on the nose with oak, sweet, and weak floral notes. Thick, oaky, syrupy, sweet, and stone fruit lingers long on the palate finishing with some warm rye spice and a hint of peppermint. Really enjoyed this bottle with a consistent profile from first crack to mid-bottle to final pour.60.0 USD per Bottle

Starlight Single Barrel Huber's Old Rickhouse Indiana Rye
Rye — Indiana, USA
Reviewed September 7, 2022 (edited January 4, 2023)Bourbon Lens pick, barrel # 17-0082. Not much on the nose, some hints of oak and caramel. Really love the flavor profile on this one. Sweet caramel sauce and oak, very bourbon-y but then followed by nice rye spice dancing across my tongue. Warmth and oak notes remain on the tongue. Really enjoyed this one and will definitely look to get another Starlight Rye in the future.38.0 USD per Bottle -
Starlight Single Barrel Huber's Rickhouse Select Indiana Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana, USA
Reviewed September 1, 2022 (edited January 5, 2023)Bourbon Lens Pick, barrel #1733. Beautiful dark color with some heat on the nose. Notes of sweet dark fruit, molasses, and some hints of tobacco. The proof makes itself known throughout but doesn't detract from the overall profile. The thick sweet fruit notes linger on the palate well after the sip. For the price I got it for, this is a great deal. Given the normal price, it wouldn't be a rebuy.38.0 USD per Bottle -
A little heat on the nose with some subtle dark sugar notes. Weak but typical Forester notes of bananas foster, pleasant hints of cocoa, and little bit of rye/alcohol heat on the lips and tongue.The extra malted barley in this rye gives a nice added depth to this rye. I prefer my ryes spicier; however I really love this whiskey for the price. Definitely will be a regular for my daily sipper rotation.26.0 USD per Bottle

Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 25, 2022 (edited December 29, 2022)Sweet vanilla and sugar with just a touch of heat on the nose. On first sip the heat dances across my palate in a good way. Notes of cherry, creme brulee, bananas foster, vanilla, a touch of chocolate, and oak. Reminds me of Old Forester Signature cranked up. Every Old Forester product I've had seems to mature as I work through the bottle. Early on they seem just too sweet. About half way through the bottle hits a sweet spot on my palate where the more complex notes start to come out.60.0 USD per Bottle
