Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 24, 2023 (edited February 5, 2024)Nose: Apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, oak Palate: Strong baking spices, vanilla, proof! Finish: Medium to long with brown sugar and more spice Wow this is a hot one, but underneath is a well flavored pour with an oily mouthfeel. A couple drips of water goes a long way. A truly great exprience overall. -
Nose: Sweet candy cinnamon wih vanilla Palate: Soft oak, more baking spices with a hint of vanilla Finish: Short with more spice I have seen this sub-$30 (and now defuct brand) on shelves with handwritten signs expressing what a good value it is. They are not entirely wrong. This is a simple, fine bourbon that mixes spice and sweet well. It won’t blow your socks off but it is serviceable as a sipper.

A quick-take from Whiskey in the Winter St. Louis Whiskey Festival: Brown sugar, wheat bread, and a little bit of maple on the nose. Solid vanilla with a hint of baking spices on the palate. A medium sweet finish with some sweet oak. Yes, this is a great pour. I got to try this alongside their Cask Strength and honestly, this is better than that but the margin isn't as high as many would think—such a great experience to see the effects of cool cellar aging on Maker's Mark.

Holladay 6 Year Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Missouri , USA
Reviewed December 11, 2023A quick-take from Whiskey in the Winter St. Louis Whiskey Festival: Nose of rich vanilla that translates over to the palate. Baking spices ushers in a medium to long finish. A fantastic sipper, perhaps my favorite of the entire Ben Holladay line-up. -
Ben Holladay 6 Year Rickhouse Proof Small Batch Reserve
Bourbon — Missouri, USA
Reviewed December 11, 2023A quick-take from Whiskey in the Winter St. Louis Whiskey Festival: With a nose of apple pie and a rich and juicy body, this new release was previously only available at the distillery gift shop. This barrel-proof expression goes above and beyond their flagship offering. -
Holladay 6 Year Soft Red Wheat Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Missouri, USA
Reviewed December 11, 2023A quick-take from Whiskey in the Winter St. Louis Whiskey Festival: vanilla, spioce, and a hint of pepper- this wheater can stand toe-to-toe with Maker's Mark and wheat heavy mash bills. -
Nose: Vanilla and Caramel Palate: Big vanilla that lasts through the entire palate Finish: Short to medium, some chocolate and malt notes can be found at the end Wow, I would swear this was a bourbon with the bog vanilla flavor but the typical Irish profile pops its head at the end to remind you it's Jameson. It's a fantastic sipper, It's funny that the cask strength for this one is just 100 proof.7.0 EUR per PourDick Macks Pub

Nose: Soft vanilla and cereal grain Palate: A sweet vanilla os follwed by malt and a hint of smoke Finish: Short finish that repeats the sweetness before disappearing but is warming on the way down. While it’s not overly complex, this is a solid sipper, for those used to American Whisket (like me) you will be right st home with this sweet and rich bodied pour.7.0 EUR per BottleBar Rua
