Bomberger's Declaration 2022
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 14, 2022 (edited December 12, 2022)Nose: cherry, oak, caramel, little mint, just a hint of barrel smoke, sweetness carries the day on the nose. Body: medium to full Palate: oooh that first sip neat is good. Packs a lot of flavor in that 108 proof. Caramel, salted caramel, oak the sweetness on the nose is muted on the palate by for me came through more on the back palate before giving way to the smoke In the finish. The mint on the nose is no where to be found on the palate. It’s a little dry which is more an observation than a critique, just leaves your mouth watering. But over all this is an big oaky caramelly sweet nosing whiskey Finish: is long and smokey oak. My favorite kind of finish. Note: this is really good. Lots of big bold flavor. This is just a real good bourbon. Lots of flavor, leaves nothing to the imagination nice flavor profile, nice long smokey finish. Super good -
Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye 7 Year
Rye — USA
Reviewed August 31, 2022 (edited December 3, 2022)Nose: rye and soft barrel spice. Vanilla and faint milk chocolate. This is not an overpowering etoh forward nose. Sweetness, honeyed. Malt. Little leather. Woody and earthy later. Body: medium Palate: interesting, unique, complex and seemingly a lot going on on the first sip. Rye, chocolate, bready maltiness, cinnamon, water chestnut (?) or light nuttiness. Black licorice really started to dominate late in the dram. Finish: medium Note: a great pick up from 1010. Very hard to get any willet rye other than the 4 year. This barrel was picked by Rachel 😮 so I hope it’s good. This is barrel 2237, 58.3%, 7 yr. Yup this is good and interesting. Overall this was extremely easy to drink and has layers of flavor. -

George T. Stagg Bourbon (Fall 2016)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 19, 2022 (edited August 20, 2022)Nose: cherry, caramel, sweet oak in comparison to the stagg jr batch 9 I just tried this has much less of the sugary nose and more oak. Maybe a little red fruit maraschino cherry Body: full and wow another big banger Palate: sweet oak, caramels covered in cherry glaze and dipped in vanilla. Wow. Finish: long, smoky sweet Note: another ounce from don. Whoa as full bodied as the stagg jr batch 9 I just tried but has more depth of flavor, more refined and interesting. Holy shit this was good. -

Finish: long and a wonderful Kentucky hug. Note: an taste from don. This is friggin delicious. What really sets this apart is how full bodied and flavorful this is.
