Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A122
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 9, 2022 (edited April 18, 2022)Mmmm. The nose is a warm sweet chocolate bakery scent. Hits the tongue with an apple pie and mellow vanilla. Sort of bitter fruit aftertaste that lingers and gets sweet after a few seconds. Long aftertaste. Needs an ice cube or two to mellow the intense barrel flavor, but great flavor throughout. Sweet wheated bourbon.55.0 USD per Bottle -
Drinking straight out of glencairn glass. The nose is a sweet fruit and a brown sugar mix. Hits the tongue and adds a sweet red sherry flavor with a little bitter fruit. Definitely a maple syrup in there too. It’s a honey and oak aftertaste that sticks around for a decent while. This is a great bottle but might be too sweet for some. Just right for me. Excellent.

Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 6, 2022 (edited March 27, 2022)Straight with a few cubes of ice. Sweet nose with a warm vanilla flavor. Hits with a toffee and chocolate flavor after a second and then goes to a classic cherry bourbon taste. Nice warming but not burning. You taste a few other levels very lightly but I can’t really grasp what’s there other than to say it’s all good. Comes together well. Great sip all the way through. Complex.40.0 USD per Bottle -
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 9, 2022 (edited January 16, 2022)Bottle C921. Dark amber color. Before you even sip you see how thick and oily the consistency is. The nose is a sweet and oaky mix but very little hot alcohol smell. It’s all sweet, dark syrup. First sip is intense. Smokey dark apple and honey. Sticks around for a while and mellows out gradually. A little burn in there. A little water mixed in and it definitely opens up another layer with vanilla and a dark cherry. You taste every year it was in the barrel and they’re all great. Sip slow and enjoy. It’s got some flavor in there that I can’t place but damn if it isn’t a great journey.70.0 USD per Bottle -
Heaven Hill Bottled In Bond 7 Year
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 26, 2021 (edited January 17, 2022)Another very good to nearly great Heaven Hill offering. It’s actually on the lighter side. The nose is a sweet caramel apple. On the mouth there’s more of the same with a smooth vanilla to mix with the up front sweet. I felt like it was more welcome and wanted it to stick around longer but the finish was a little too short. It’s a very solid bottle. Good for a nice easy sip. -
Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 24, 2021 (edited August 10, 2022)Sweet all the way through. Strong nose with deep vanilla and sweet apple. Mouth brings in caramel and toffee twist. Fruity taste in there as well. No burn on the aftertaste. All over good bottle. -
Sweet woody cherry pie taste on the nose and up front. The heat is there but balanced by a sweet fruit. Very well balanced. After there’s an awesome maple honey that lingers for a decent time. It’s definitely one of the sweeter bottles I’ve had. Consistency is like a smooth syrup. Fantastic bottle at a great price.35.0 USD per Bottle

Blanton's Original Single Barrel
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 11, 2021 (edited January 22, 2022)Mmmmm bourbon. Classic sweet tasting bottle. Nose is sweet apple with a savory vanilla mixed in. Thick consistency. Covers the mouth and has a cinnamon twist as you nurse it. Aftertaste lingers for a few moments and has a fruity hazelnut flavor. It might not live up to the reputation but it’s an excellent bottle. The price wasn’t too crazy, and although I’ve had better bourbon at a cheaper price I’m very satisfied at this investment. Great bottle for the collection but not sure I’ll ever get the complete group of horse bottle tops. Oh well. Cheers!60.0 USD per Bottle -
Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 10, 2021 (edited December 11, 2021)Drinking straight. Sweet apple cinnamon on the nose. Has a dry flavor that sort of counters the sweet. Classic bourbon smell but little if any alcohol up front. Taste is medium length and very clean. You get that nice apple vanilla taste once it hits the tongue with a little fruity twist hiding in plain sight once you feel it there. No burn on the aftertaste. Clean finish. Honestly this bottle was tough to track down in Maryland. Not sure if it lives up to my unrealistic expectations but it’s a classic bourbon taste at a very affordable price. Thumbs up. Cheers.35.0 USD per Bottle -
Mmmmmm scotch. The sherry cask aging is very apparent. The whisky has a dark golden red color. Has the same oily and thick consistency as the ardbeg 10. The nose is very fruity. Has a sweet red wine smell. When you sip it has the sweet smoke and strong fruity scent right there. Aftertaste brings in a nice sweet honey twist and some dark chocolate kick in there. The flavor stays for a long time and is just a thick, sweet, smokey, and oily presence for as long as it should. I drank this a bit after a Lagavulin 16 and this is slightly better. Drink and enjoy. Cheers, mates.85.0 USD per Bottle
