Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #5
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 20, 2021 (edited December 29, 2021)Love the nose on this. Cinnamon, pecans, and cranberry. Smells like Christmas. Berry notes linger into the palate before bolder, woodier notes come to play. Finish is pretty pine-y and nice and long. -
The nose here is hard to pin down, but it’s bright and sweet. Palate is equally bright, with some floral notes and brown sugar. Finish is noticeably darker, with some oak tannins coming in to play. It’s almost like a scotch. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s a solid pour for sure if you’re into more unique whiskeys.

Makers Mark - Private Selection - Toasted Marshmallow
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed July 4, 2021 (edited September 24, 2022)Nose is pretty boozy, but if you push through it, you get some vanilla bean and sourdough bread notes. Palate is sweet and light, kinda reminds angel food cake. It turns spicier on the finish, which comes with a nice, long hug. -
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B520
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 15, 2021 (edited March 6, 2022)The nose is not at all what I expected, and I mean that in the best way. No ethanol, but rich and creamy, like strawberry shortcake. The palate is delightful. Vanilla and berries abound. The long, warm finish you’d expect with a barrel proof comes in just in time. Good lord, this is good. -
Elijah Craig 18 Year Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 15, 2021 (edited August 22, 2021)The nose on this one is a TREAT. Plenty of oak, but lots of sweet, cakey notes of vanilla and fudge too. The palate isn’t quite as rich, but it is still sweet. Finish turns a little darker, starting off with some dried fruit flavors coming to play before turning oaky.
