Old Forester Classic 86 Proof
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 22, 2016 (edited June 28, 2016)Vanilla and oak nose. Creamy caramel and sweet fruits in the mouth. Finish is odd medicinal lingers for awhile with some tannins. Would be about a 3.5 stars but gave it a 4 based on price. Tried neat. So on an ice ball the vanilla shines and the creamy texture remains however the tannins and medicinal finish remains. Good bourbon overall but the finish is still off -
I.W. Harper Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 17, 2016 (edited September 16, 2018)Not a big fan of this one do not understand the rating here. Lots of alcohol on the nose some fruit with a hint of everything from wood to toffee. The taste is all over the place nothing to really note that goes into a mild burn and not much else. This was neat on ice ball it was thin and boring. Wish it would have been better but I will try in a few months and see if changes. -
Weller Special Reserve Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 16, 2016 (edited February 25, 2016)Love this!! Vanilla oak and leather on the nose. Sweet start on the palette that eases in from candied fruit and vanilla to oak. Nice burn on the finish with more hints of charred wood and caramel. Truly enjoy -

Old Grand-Dad 114 Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 29, 2016 (edited October 27, 2019)Impressive. Nose is sweet vanilla cookie and baking spice with hints of leather and oak. Palette initially was where you get the proof of this hot initially but then softens nicely with vanilla, oak, toffe with an oily feel in the mouth. The finish is long with more oak but lots of baking spices come up with some licorice. Tasted neat will try with an ice ball next time as I think it will open up a lot. -
Four Roses Yellow Label Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 28, 2016 (edited July 28, 2017)Decent sipper either neat or ice ball. Just a good value with decent if subdued flavors. Great price to have around for all occasions -
Rebel Yell Small Batch Reserve Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 23, 2016 (edited August 24, 2020)The bourbon here is a steal at the price point. Nose is interesting with some honey and fruit and even some cinnamon. Taste is similar but with more baking spices and honey. Finish is good with a mild burn, spicy and a hint of licorice. Good stuff -
Jack Daniel's Old No. 7
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed November 22, 2015 (edited April 24, 2018)Classic. Just a solid whiskey that I decided I needed to try again. Still smooth and mellow with just a light burn with a 3 cubes of ice. Not a bourbon so not as rich in flavors but what is there is nice and slightly sweet. Quick finish that does not linger.
