This is a very disappointing bourbon. The label states that a young bourbon is cut to 90 proof, and placed back in barrels to continue aging. The idea that it would pick up more flaver from essentially doubling its exposure to fresh barrels was exciting. The aroma is smoky, much like a campfire and tingles the nose unpleasantly. Drinking the bourbon is not any better. The start is very bitter, and a burnt taste lingers on the tongue. The bitterness fades and is replaced with a hint of caramel as you continue to drink it. This is probably best used as a mixer, certainly not worth the $30 I paid for the idea of it.30.0 USD per Bottle

StoneHammer Distiller's Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 26, 2020Nothing special. Medicine-like taste. Bitter finish. Vanilla nose. -
I found this bottle unattended, hanging from a hook in the mens bathroom at the airport. The nose is sweet, with a bit of a fruit smell. I am not particularly fond of it, but don't hate it. The taste is smoky and oeaty with just a slight bitter finish. Not the best thing I ever had, but I like it enough to drink it slowly. LOVE the bottle.Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)

Bluebird Distilling Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon — Pennsylvania , USA
Reviewed February 16, 2020 (edited November 26, 2021)There is supposed to be a vanilla start according to the bottle. I can barely smell it under the alcohol smell. The smell is so strong, it's almost a menthol smell. After a couple of sips, when my palette adjusted to it, I picked up the vanilla. The taste is chaotic, the rye and the wheat seem to be battling each other for dominance. It seems to me that the whiskey needs more time in the barrel to settle down and find its personality. Initially I catch the smoothness of the wheat, but the spicy rye finish is...interesting. I'm not really sure how I feel about it. It is a strong middle of the road bourbon, and not a bad result from a science experiment.40.0 USD per BottleFine Wine & Good Spirits -
Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 9, 2020 (edited March 2, 2020)A decent bourbon. Nice nose with hints of vanilla. Nice tongue. Just enough rye to make it spicy without over doing it. High alcohol burn, but it is 100 proof, so to be expected. Is it worth all of the hype? No, I don't think so.60.0 USD per Bottle -
The nose is off. It just has an unpleasant "wrongness" to it. It smells like a high school gym locker owned by the kid who never takes a shower. The taste is hands down the worst thing I have ever drank. An order of magnitude worse than Sheep Dog. I could at least see someone enjoying that. Seeing that this is a distilled beer mash, it has a unique flavor that just tastes horrible. It has a nice oaky start but ends with a foul stale coffee flavor that lingers for an eternity. I wouldn't even give this to someone I don't want to come back, because I would hate the implication of my lack standards. End opinion, save yourself the distress of drinking something that tastes like it was distilled in the casket of the guy pictured on the bottle.40.0 USD per BottleCannonsburg Bottleshop
