Knob Creek 12 Year Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 11, 2025 (edited March 22, 2026)Great mix of spicy notes and deep red fruit notes. A little bit of that beam nuttiness at the finish. Nice long finish. Glad I finally got to try it. Soft vanilla. Tried at crush pad in downtown Charlottesville16.0 USD per Pour -
Penelope Wheated Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana, USA
Reviewed September 25, 2025 (edited December 7, 2025)Nose right off the bat drew me in. Honey. Tasting it, I wasn’t blown away at first, but it grew on me. Loved the smoked honey notes. Really enjoyed it. -
Wild Turkey 101 8 Year Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 22, 2025 (edited March 27, 2026)The nose is soft, vanilla-covered cherries. A little orange peel in there too. Palate continues the flavors but with a spicy clove kick and more citrus. Rate this one well above Rare Breed. -
New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon Bottled In Bond
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 5, 2025I’m pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy this high rye bourbon. Equally surprised by the caramel notes, which is the dominant flavor. Nice smokiness too. Intrigued to try a single barrel at some point. Smoky and sweet.4.75 USD per Shot -
Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 28, 2025 (edited December 7, 2025)I really wanted to like it. Trying to find a budget Beam bourbon to get those nutty notes. It’s faint here but overpowered by the cinnamon. Won’t be my go-to budget (that remains Old Forester 100 and Bowman Brothers SB). -
Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 28, 2025 (edited September 8, 2025)I’ll take OF100 over this. Has some aspects of OF that I enjoy but also missing some things. Astringent oak notes that I don’t get in OF100. Glad I tried it but won’t be getting again. Molasses, butterscotch, brown sugar, maple. No banana, unfortunately.
