Russell's Reserve 15 Year Bourbon (2024 Release)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 28, 2024 (edited July 30, 2024)Nose - Some light grape, pear, peanut brittle, caramel, double oak with a deep deep char, not smoky tho. Palate - Some soft vanilla coats the tip of fhe tongue. Brings lots of cinnamon and making spice that goes together with that vanilla. Some nuttiness lingers around. The ethanol is pretty strong though and comes through more as its opened up, which is odd. Finish - Pretty much lots of oil, cinnamon, baking spice. Lots of warmth goes down. Makes it feel hotter than it is. -
*** 11 *** Nose - Nice minty herbal note. Some caramel and vanilla. Palate - Same as the nose. Super chewy very nice. Lots of barrel spice and cinnamon thats complimented by the vanilla. The mint note is consistent all the way through and works fo nicely. Finish - exact same as the palate reallly nice.

Willett Family Estate 10 Year Old Small Batch Rare Release Cask Strength Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey #2026
Bourbon — kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 27, 2024 (edited July 30, 2024)*** 68.0% BARREL 6678 DIAMOND HANDS *** Nose - This is like the quintissential nose. Fantastic nose on this bad boy. Very clean with some light vanilla, some oak. Smells so nice. Palate - Oh wow. Lots of nutty, vanilla, creamy notes. This is nice. Not harsh at all for a 10 year, super palatable. Got some salted dulce de leche in there, got that oak and leather NOT bitter at all. Herbal notes are done right, not overbearing. Finish - Finish is more of that palate. -
*** DONT KNOW IF THIS IS RIGHT BARREL *** Nose - Lots of herbal clean notes. Like a spearmint, way brighter than just a regular mint. Not a whole not of sweetness but love the spearmint on this. Palate - Loads of spearmint. I like it alot. More of that sweet honeysuckle comes through beautifully. This is very very nice. Great summer drink. Finish - As the palate sooooo good

*** 6 YEAR TONYS LIQUORS *** Nose - Kind of a funky smell but pleasantly funky. Definitely a little different from a typical bourbon, some clean scent, little bit of apple crisp and berry. Palate - Kind of stale off the bat, like a salty cracker. Does have a slight vanilla that isnt over bearing but the staleness takes it away sort of. Finish - It ends with some nutty cinnamon notes thats capped by a lightly bitter vanilla oak.
-
Nose - Maple syrup is super prominent, a thick richness. Saltyness like a salted caramel comes through. Peanut butter is heavy too. Some vanilla compliments that peanut butter. Very sweet and rich on the nose. Palate - Alot of the nose with some added cinnamon. A little lighter on the mouth than the nose says but still nice. Nice bitterness from oak and leather. Finish - Its consistant with the palate and nose. More cinnamon spice comes in at the end but still lighter than a harsher baking spice.

Jack Daniel's 12 Year Tennessee Whiskey (Batch 2)
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed June 8, 2024Nose - Loads of honey vanilla and cinnamon. Very lovely jack nose. Some banana lingers as jacks typical nose/palate. Very lovely nose nice, complex but in a complimentary way. Palate - Honey banana very light oak. Thats kind if it. Its a solid palate and a fantastic nose but the palate doesnt compare as well to batch 1. Finish - Some cinnamon oak and leather, very classic whiskey finish. Some vanilla and banana creep back up to finish it out. -
Nose - Clean, pepper, orange citrus and crisp white grape. Some sweeat condensed milk and cinnamon dance around some lightly toasted leather. Palate - Sooooo bright. Burst of flavor my goodness. Citrus is the key here the brightens the typical rye notes of mint and herbs. Some cinnamon compliments the lemon vanilla. Finish - Finish is cinnamon oak vanilla and herb. Surprising banger right here.
