Capsule review from Virginia Spirits Expo: Reservoir states that Holland's Ghost is three-year aged bourbon that's finished for an additional two years in stout barrels sourced from local breweries. However, the bottle I tasted was said tobe aged for 2.5 years and finished for 18 months. On the nose, there's Cinnamon, spice and a bit of a classic rye note. On the palate, it's grainy and young with a short to medium finish that's a little bit smoother thanks to the stout. An uneven experience where the pour can't live up to the promising nose on this one.

Capsule review from Virginia Spirits Expo: Described as, " the younger brother of Reservoir’s premium whiskies." At an age of 18 months it certainly is. However, it should be noted that Hunter & Scott is a blend of both sourced barrels from KY and IN as well as their own new make- so the age most likely reflects the younger distillate. On the nose there's cherry and a sweet fruity candy like Jujyfruits. The palate has Green Apple and finishes with a youthful grain. It's a good start- would love to see this blended with older new make over time.

Nose: Barley, funky chocolate, a hint of vanilla Palate: Oak, a little bit of smoke, pepper, and baking spices Finish: A short-medium finish that leaves a sweetness in the mouth Before we had the official definition of American Single Malt we had Balcones. The mix of Scottish and American-grown malted barley makes for a truly unique and different dram. Now that I've had more time with this bottle, it's the bottle you'll keep on your bar for "something different" than the usual suspects. It does what it does well however, I personally don't find myself reaching for it very often. In a world full of Barbies, it's the weird one.

At the end of the day it’s a simple bottle that does what it does well.Reserve 101 -

Weller Antique 107 Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 15, 2023 (edited September 1, 2023)Nose: Stone fruit like cherry, almost medicinal. Some ethanol from the proof. Buttery vanilla frosting. Palate: More cherry at the top with a hint of vanilla but shifts to cinnamon and baking spices. Finish: Baking spices take over for a medium finish. Weller Antique 107 shows what a few more proof points can do to amp up a good wheater. It’s understandable why it’s so hunted. A fantastic sipper.12.0 USD per PourLittle Dipper Bar
