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 -
Riverset Straight Rye Whiskey Single Barrel (r/Bourbon selection)
Rye — Tennessee , USA
Reviewed July 9, 20222022 r/bourbon pick. 5yr, 118 proof. Sweet honey and orange and nose with just a touch of heat. Taste of pepper, cherry, oak, and cola. The rye heat dances a little and lingers on my tongue. This bottle was very enjoyable and consistent throughout.53.0 USD per Bottle -
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2014
Bourbon — Bardstown, USA
Reviewed June 3, 2022 (edited November 12, 2022)Flavorful considering for a sub 90 proof whiskey with notes of oak, vanilla, and a little marshmallow. However still a bit warm/spicy given it's proof. Feels a bit thin and watery on the palate. I can't ignore the price here. It feels like you are paying for the single barrel vintage. For the proof there are other whiskeys I'd prefer that are cheaper. And for the price, there are other more flavorful higher proof whiskeys I'd also prefer.35.0 USD per Bottle -
VABC Select 2020. While these are "barely legal" ryes, this one has always brought the rye spice. I loved how this bottle would dance across my tongue with rye and pepper spice. Later pours of this the spice is still very present but toned down from before. The Beam peanut starts coming forward now which I don't remember from earlier in the bottle.
