Lovely nose with notes of orange, chocolate, and a hint of barley funk. Palate is a little grainy and young, but has a nice, light honey note, too. Big, bold finish with some leather, a touch of smoke, and more oak than you’d expect. Overall, it starts good, ends great, but is a little disappointing in the middle. Not bad, but not amazing. Solid for the price but not for much more.

Woodford Reserve Distillery Series Honey Barrel Finish
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 25, 2023Almost smells like a scotch. I guess that’s the floral notes from the honey coming to play. Honestly, it drinks kind of like a scotch rather than a bourbon, too. Very floral and sweet, but with a darker charcoal note coming in at the finish. Not your normal bourbon, but a cool one.ShopBar -
Bardstown Bourbon Co. Origin Series Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 10, 2023 (edited March 7, 2023)Delightful notes of cinnamon, candied orange peel, and a hint of leather on the nose. Palate is a little thin and grainy (and surprisingly barley-forward) for me, which is disappointing, because I loved the nose. The finish, however, is pleasantly spicy and gives a good hug for a relatively young, inexpensive whiskey. The nose and finish really take off after letting the bottle sit and open up for a bit, so I like this quite a bit more on a second try than my first.50.0 USD per Bottle -
Nose is a lot richer than I expected for the price and proof point. Brown sugar, clove, and deep vanilla. Palate is surprisingly minty, almost like a rye. The finish is relatively short, as you’d expect from the proof, but it’s pleasant. A little bready. Overall, for the price, I’m very pleased.45.0 USD per Bottle
