Uncle Nearest 1856 Tennessee Whiskey (Sourced Whiskey)
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed June 18, 2021 (edited June 28, 2021)Nice amber color. Nosed notes of vanilla and maple. Not getting the spice others notes or the other more subtle notes. No age statement, but lack of depth in flavor notes suggest about 4 years. Notes on palate were a sweet and nutty (nutmeg) char. Pretty smooth going down for 100 proof. Costly for the liquor in the bottle! Over ice is nice! Tried again over ice and it really opened up and exposed other flavor notes and enhanced the nutmeg nutty profile even more. I picked up some subtle earthy notes to go with a char on the back end.59.0 USD per BottleWhole Foods Market -
Vanilla on the nose and it did initially take me to the smell of the ocean. Vanilla and spices on the front palate were noticeable but didn’t last long. Spice and slight char to finish. Very light, not a lot of depth of flavor or character. Always hesitated to buy because of the aged at sea gimmick and price. A lot of better pours at much lower price points.68.0 USD per BottleCostco Wholesale

When I first purchased and tried it neat I wasn't impressed and pushed it to the back shelf. Four months later I tried it again over ice and more of the flavors were pronounced. It is young and light, but sweet. Not a lot pf depth of character for a bourbon. Decent sipper over ice, but would not use to make my Manhattans. Batch 0406

Crown Royal Noble Collection 16 Year Rye
Canadian — Manitoba, Canada
Reviewed February 16, 2021 (edited July 3, 2021)Expected more from a 16 yr old rye. It was light all the around on the nose, palate, and finish. Nice dark amber color showing it’s age in the charred oak barrel. More sweet vanilla on the nose than palate. The spice started strong but the intensity faded pretty quickly followed by char on the back palate. Not a lot of complexity as far as other flavor notes showing up to play. There’s a weird aftertaste left on the tongue. Not sure what it is. More flavors may show up with a few drops of water or over ice.
