Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 23, 2021 (edited August 3, 2021)Pure, modest, exceptional value bourbon. Oak, vanilla, clove, cinnamon…Medium finish, a little light on the palate but just enough to keep the dram interesting and satisfying. Great package redesign and increase in proof. Cheers!14.99 USD per Bottle -
Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 1, 2020 (edited August 7, 2020)On the nose...Vanilla, Honey, Oak, Cinnamon Palate...All of the above plus candy corn and caramel however, not cloyingly sweet as the wood balances it out. Mouthfeel is viscous and provides a nice coating. Finish...Wonderful Medium/Long Kentucky Hug. As a long time fan and drinker OGD BIB, I was afraid this may be too similar. Fortunately, it is slightly different with a richer profile. Delicious, terrific price point, and great old time labeling...Cheers! -
Booker's Bourbon Batch 2019-02 "Shiny Barrel Batch"
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 23, 2019 (edited April 10, 2020)Outstanding!!! Incredible balance of oak, leather, brown sugar and baking spices. Literally explodes and coats your palate with all of its goodness...Spice hits you at the front and mid while the sweetness then provides a wonderfully long finish. One of my favorite Booker’s offerings in a long time. Best enjoyed neat..Cheers! -
Booker's Bourbon Batch 2019-03 "Country Ham"
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 23, 2019 (edited December 14, 2019)Phenomenal yet slightly different offering from Booker’s. Very smooth, easy drinking, brown sugar and cinnamon bomb! Some usual oak and a bit of tobacco as well with a medium long finish. Neat (IMO) is the perfect way to sip this terrific bourbon. Cheers! -
As a full fledged Whiskey/Bourbon drinker for more than 30years, this Rum is truly a masterpiece. Rich, viscous and not overly sweet. Balanced notes of vanilla, molasses, spice and oak on the nose. On the palate it’s cocoa, spice, oak, and caramel. Finish is long and warming but not overpowering. Fantastic pour and should be enjoyed neat (IMO) I enjoy all my whiskey at high and or cask strength so this is right up my alley. Cheers!

New Riff Kentucky Straight Rye Bottled In Bond
Rye — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed October 12, 2019 (edited January 14, 2020)A truly well done and enjoyable Rye. Nose and palate deliver rich spice, vanilla, oak and caramel. None overpower each other, all in balance with a viscous mouthfeel and medium long finish. Cheers! -
Fantastic whiskey produced by this distillery...Already have a back up bottle on hand. Nose is intense with sweet spices, charred barrel, leather and tobacco. On the palate, much of the same as on the nose but with a smooth, mouth coating, long finish. Ridiculously smooth for cask strength and truly a spirit to be savored. Cheers!
