Elijah Craig Single Barrel Barrel Proof Bourbon (Private Label)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 2, 2024π marshmellow roasted over an oak fire just a little bit too long. Really have to dig for the spice - even at 129 proof π Dries out the pallet and pulls in a pretty strong cherry flavor. But like at the farm, freshly picked where you can still smell the surroundings. More pleasant than I just described it π Best part of the experience by far. Lingerssss even after a small sip and contains all the best flavors plus vanilla and cinnamon -
Nose - Exactly what you'd expect. Sweet oaky goodness. Pineapple? Palate - Not as exciting as I'd hoped. Spicier than I'd hope. It tastes good, but is hot and really lingers on the palate Finish - More of the same. Really didn't expect it to drink this hot. Good flavor, but especially considering price, I'll take Woodford Double Oaked or OF 1910

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 4, 2023 (edited July 6, 2023)π Nothing crazy. Obviously low proof π Sweet vanilla oak bomb. Chuggable π Maybe add cherry to the palate notes, but more of the same My notes seem like I was very unimpressed, but this is great whiskey. Exactly what you'd expect from a low proof double barelled whiskey, but no unique notes. -
Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana (bottled in Nevada), USA
Reviewed June 27, 2023 (edited July 6, 2023)Happy to drink this all day, but nothing to get excited about. Probably better bottles for the price. π I'm pretty congested, but still getting the heat here. Maybe blueberries? π 114 proof for sure, but smooth enough to swish around a bit neat. Interesting undertones. Mango? It tastes like brown. Idk what that means either. π Vanilla with a sorta young oak. Definitely some trees -
