Rare Perfection 14 Year Canadian Whisky
Canadian — Canada
Reviewed August 7, 2022 (edited October 10, 2022)Vanilla, grain and almond notes. Really too light in flavor and body for a 100 proof. Not much finish -
New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 7, 2022 (edited September 16, 2022)Cinnamon, vanilla and orange peel. Very Creamy and almost oily (which I love) Orangsicle flavor on the finish. Several drops of water really open this up. I think it's necessary here. More citrus floral and white pepper. -
Barrell Craft Spirits Gold Label Seagrass
Canadian — (bottled in) Kentucky, Canada
Reviewed August 7, 2022 (edited August 10, 2022)OK, so regular Seagrass is quite possibly my favorite Rye. For this version, there has been a bottle of this at a nearby store for $300. So far, I've resisted buying it. In Louisville and our hotel bar has it. I'm in... Delicious... I like the standard version better. There, I typed it. It's wonderful as you'll see by my score. But I'll defer back to the standard bottle. This is more like canned peaches and the accompanying syrup. More honey notes. Seagrass is phenomenal, this is amazing... So I don't want this to read as a negative review -
Wattie Boone & Sons 10 Year Small Batch American Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — USA
Reviewed August 7, 2022 (edited March 4, 2023)Not a lot here to be honest. Watery. When you consider the price..... I'm glad I tried it as part of a tasting. Nothing technically wrong. Just nothing really right. -
Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond 17 Year (Spring 2022)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 6, 2022 (edited August 5, 2022)Yeah, I just pinned a "5" on this one. It's the second time I've been thunderstruck by OF BIB. Not sure how things get better than this. Strawberry vanilla cream with a kick of spice including cinnamon and clove. Added a drop of water to a side pour as I didn't want to risk the glass. Good choice. No water necessary. Takes away the heady Aroma and the front fruit punch. Spice kicks up. Maple notes from time to time with lovely dark brown sugar and oak. Just spectacular -
Was so fruity on the start it was crazy. Brown Sugar, red fruit in Aroma with flavor of the fruit and cinnamon. Body is slightly oily. Very good. Added two drops of water. Gave it a bit of a fireball vibe as it amped the spice. Body was not helped by this (just 2 drops) as it lost some of the lovely oily texture. Don't add water here.
