Bomberger's Declaration (2025 Release)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 6, 2025 (edited March 19, 2026)Id call this pretty generic whiskey at best. I know its nas, but given the price and hype i was certainly expecting more, especially with a pro review score of 93 from a pro reviewer. Certainly not bad, but ecbp, knob 12 or frankly even rare breed are better than this for my pallet. It this was a $65 is bottle it go to 4 starts, but given the price and hype I'm gonna knock it back to 3. I will chamge.my score on the odd chance it opens up. To be fair, this is also been open only 4 weeks with 2 ounces since the crack. I wouldn't even buy this again at $50 but maybe in time (1 year @ half bottle it will get better) -
Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask Faith & Conviction
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 26, 2025 (edited January 16, 2026)This is an outstanding Rye. After 5 months open at half bottle zero alcohol burn and all beautiful flavor profile. Minimum 4.5 rating! -
Just be cautious when finding a TT Series 1 on the shelf. Series 1 first came out in 2021 with less than 1,100 cases. The second release of Series 1 came out in 2022 with a different proof, and MUCH better than the first batch in 2021. You could find the second batches on store shelves until about the Spring or early Summer of 2023. Then, in Fall of 2023, Cathead released a third batch of Series 1 with a different proof, and it’s still not as good or near the same as that second batch. The second release, and this is the one you'll want to hunt for was bottled in 2022 at 122.3 proof. The bottle I have and rating/reviewing here is bottled at 120.6 proof and purchased at K&L Wine in 2025.One of the most disappointing whiskies of the year for me. I paid $100 and would not even buy again at $50.Very lackluster and not much going on for this young whisky in a hyped store review.
