Kirkland Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon by Barton 1792
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 30, 2021 (edited January 26, 2022)Aroma is bright, lots of apricot with an undercurrent os smoky molasses. First taste: lots of mellow fruit, a definite lightness in the taste buds, but solid mouthfeel. Smooth, without being bland. Solid lingering mid taste, really stays longer than you'd expect from the fresh high notes. Some spice, emerges quietly towards the end, staying in the back of the mouth and throat. Never gets too hot, but it stays for a long lingering stay. This is a definite keeper. It may not be a favorite, but it's irresistible at this size and price.18.0 USD per BottleCostco Wholesale -
Mill's & Mash Kentucky Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 19, 2021 (edited April 9, 2022)Nose is very smooth, lots of maple syrup,but very mild. First sip: almost no spice or burn, very thin flavor. Second sip: lots of butter, thicker flavor, delicious coating in the mouth. Ah, there's the burn... Took waaay too long, and lingers a little, but I expected it to hang out longer for juice of this proof. It's fine, very approachable, but this is a well Bourbon at best.12.0 USD per BottleBevMo! -
Nose is peppery and strong, with maple notes. Sweet/spicy in the initial taste, with thin body. For a while, nothing on the tongue, but the burn comes out after a good 30 seconds. Second sip favors a more mellow smokiness, quickly followed by the heat, then both fade, and then there's that crazy return of the heat. A slight saltiness, but it fades fast. A good everyday companion.25.0 USD per BottleTotal Wine & More

Wolcott Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 1, 2021 (edited November 23, 2021)Spicy, full, complex. Starts a little medicinal with a minimal nose, but bursts into rich smokiness. The sweetness starts about halfway through, then lightens, but the burn increases. Very good, but not great... But a competitive offer to Two Stars or any basic, good Kentucky Bourbon.20.0 USD per BottleTotal Wine & More -
Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 15, 2021 (edited June 24, 2021)On first sip, almost salty that slowly mellows to a light honey. The burn is almost slightly delayed, but it stays strong for a long time, until it dissapates into a round mouthfeel. The interesting thing is the residual saltiness coats the top of the mouth; unexpected. Not much of a bouquet that I noticed. Definitely a less complex Bourbon, but the long lingering heat and odd salty/sweet combo makes it worth a taste.20.0 USD per BottleTotal Wine & More
