Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 25, 2020 (edited October 20, 2020)I'm used to higher proofs like bookers and other barrel proofs that are better at hiding their proof on the nose which this one wasn't great at hiding but, still able to get some nice caramel and vanilla on the nose. The taste was caramel red apple and the finish was long with a caramelized charred barrel. -

Whistlepig 10 Year Small Batch Rye
Rye — (bottled in) Vermont, Canada
Reviewed April 28, 2020 (edited October 20, 2020)This is my first Rye after having some reserves about a Rye whiskey and this absolutely disappointed me because I was wrong. This is great. On the nose I get sweet sweet honey and a bit of caramelizedgreen apple. I know honey is sweet but, I had to exaggerate the sweet because of how amazingly sweet this is on the nose after my personal thoughts based on reviews on Rye whiskey. So on the taste I get a bit of ginger bread with of course spice and the spice definitely shows up on the finish and the finish is medium. Definitely be buying this again. -
My first Peated whisky was Johnnie Walker Double black and that was full on Campfire on the nose. I was expecting and bracing myself for it but, on the nose I got a brand new DOCs smell with milk chocolate. The taste was a sweet black cherry and the finish was short and a noticeable spice. (Not too much or barely enough but, definitely there.) Glad I bought this. I'll be buying this again.

Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 23, 2020 (edited October 20, 2020)Pretty interesting bourbon for being sourced. It's at least 4 years old and on the nose I get brown sugar with light vanilla and creme brulee. Similar notes on the taste with a short to medium finish. Very light spice. The first time I tried this I didn't let it sit but, this time I did to give it a better chance and I would definitely recommend letting it sit. I wouldn't mind having this as a daily sipper. Great price. ~$32 -
