Consensus winner at the 2023 Birthday Boy Bourbon Tasting! Michelle was proud, as she bought the bottle a couple of years ago. I’d just never opened it. Now I know! At the risk of exagerating, my first thought is it reminds me a lot of Pappy 15. I said what I said. This was during a blind tasting, and I kind of wondered if the host snuck it in. But no! It’s Belle Meade – a fantastic bourbon I’d like to always have around.Charleston WV

McFarlane's Reserve Select Cask Strength
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed March 12, 2023 (edited March 29, 2023)This was the biggest surprise at the 2023 Birthday Boy Bourbon Tasting – which was blind. It placed 2nd. My rank was 3rd. No one had ever had this or knew much about it. But for a relatively strong whisky, you have a fairly wide array of flavors. It’s not harsh. I’ll be buying this if I ever see it.Charleston WV -
Voyage 23 This tied for 5th at the 2023 Birthday Boy Bourbon Tasting. Sidenote: It tied with WELLER green! Personally, I ranked Weller 7th just behind Ocean. My ranking is about right for Ocean, but I was a little embarrassed about my assessment for Weller. This was a blind tasting, and I’m pretty sure Weller would have been higher if I knew the label. Just goes to show.Charleston WV
