Black Draft Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — West Virginia , USA
Reviewed May 24, 2020 (edited April 30, 2022)This bourbon is probably one of my favorites! It’s so rich and yet so smooth at the same time. Classic cherry and oak on the nose, though subdued. The whiskey coats the tongue with an oily intense sweetness and finishes a touch dry and oaky. It’s classic bourbon, but where everything has gone right. -
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 5, 2020 (edited May 18, 2020)So much bright, sweet cherry on the nose! Classic bourbon notes on the tongue. It burns! At barrel proof, it’s got more of an oily texture. Nice rounded and dry finish. -
Glenlivet 12 Year Double Oak
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed March 31, 2020 (edited April 5, 2020)Really fruity and sweet on the nose. Honeyed apricots and pear. On the palette, it’s smooth and easy to drink. A touch of heat and spice at the end. Overall, a nice easy drinker. -
Smooth Ambler Old Scout Straight Bourbon (NAS)
Bourbon — Indiana (bottled in West Virginia), USA
Reviewed March 5, 2020 (edited May 31, 2022)Classic bourbon notes on the nose with sweet cherries and vanilla, though it’s a bit harder to find. On the palette it’s immediately very sweet and the cherries and corn sweetness are super prominent. Then, the sweetness falls away and the whisky becomes very dry and dusty, which I actually like. Short finish.
