Henry McKenna Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 10, 2023 (edited August 29, 2023)You know, sure it's young and watery but it still tastes like bourbon and it's not terrible. At this point, I'd be happier paying $16 for this than $60 for the 10 BiB version that got popular, but not tastier, after winning an award. -
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 6, 2023 (edited May 7, 2023)Coming back to this after the first bottle I had after the change over to 116.8, which I judged quite harshly. It drinks much kinder than it did then. And it's one of the few whiskies that I think actually gets better with a bit of water. Without water it just feels like a hot 101 and is fairly uninteresting. With some water it gets much sweeter, more floral, and makes for a pretty nice dram. -
High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 10 (All Scenes)
Rye — USA
Reviewed February 4, 2023 (edited October 28, 2023)The nose is sweet, herbal, and minty as you'd expect from MGP's 95/5. It's fairly subdued though. The palate is a garbled mess and the finish is nearly nonexistent. It's not bad, but there's not much going on here and it is entirely forgettable. Take into account the pedigree of Acts 1-3 and the price, this is a spectacular disappointment. It was a bottle split with friends who have been buying since Act 1 and none of us are interested in getting stuck with a full bottle anymore.150.0 USD per Bottle
