Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon (2021 Release)
Bourbon — Texas, USA
Reviewed December 19, 2021 (edited March 21, 2022)Nose: cinnamon, vanilla cake, brown sugars. No ethanol on the nose. The nose is lovely Palate: barrel spice, Carmel, vanilla frosting, orange zest Finish. Long and lingers. Tingle on the back of tongue. Overall: this 2021 release is 131.3 proof and it drink like it’s 90 proof. Little to no burn. I hate saying “smooth” but that’s exactly what it is. Complex and delicious and very smooth. 9/10. The issue is it’s 250-300 dollars. I probably won’t buy another simply due to the cost. But it’s damn delicious. My bottle is #3843 -

Bourbon — USA
Reviewed December 13, 2021Nose: vanilla, Carmel brown sugar Palate: barrel spice. More brown sugar and Carmel Finish: long Kentucky hug it lingers. Overall: it’s damn good classic bourbon done well. Solid pour that will keep you coming back. It’s way better than I expected. -
Balcones ZZ Top Tres Hombres
Other Whiskey — Texas, USA
Reviewed December 13, 2021 (edited July 2, 2022)Nose: honey, Carmel and vanilla Palate: Carmel, barrel spice and Texas funk. I don’t know what Texas funk is but being a Texan and having tried loads of Texas drams this definitely has that Texas funk. Finish: long and lingers. Call it a Texas hug. There’s a hint of some sort of floral at the very end reminded me of juniper berry. Overall: not a bad pour. Very different sort of bourbon. I’d have another glass. -

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 9, 2021 (edited December 25, 2021)Nose: typical bourbon smells. Carmel, vanilla, brown sugar Palate: semi sweet with a note of a fruit. Can’t place the fruit. More citrus I think.

Kuiper Belt Kentucky Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed December 9, 2021 (edited February 11, 2022)Nose: Carmel bomb, Very little ethanol, vanilla and brown sugar Palate: thick mouth coat, a bit of fruit like orange peel zest, barrel spice Finish: no Kentucky hug here. Short without heat. Overall this is a great pour. Actually it’s fantastic and dangerously “smooth”. Easy sipping whiskey. Highly recommend -
Nose: vanilla, Carmel and brown sugar. All the standard stuff. Some ethanol burn. Also light fruit on the nose. Like sharp pear. Palate: pear, rye spice, possibly light apple. Finish long hug, complex OSSA is one of my favorite ryes. This barrel I got is a blind rabbit group pick. It’s unbelievably amazing.

Rabbit Hole Dareringer Straight Bourbon Finished in PX Sherry Casks
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 25, 2021 (edited January 29, 2022)Nose: a sherry, Carmel, vanilla bomb on the nose. Palate: light vanilla, sherry Finish: Silky wine fruit finish Fantastic pour. I highly recommend it. If you looking for a similar dram try Yellowstone “Amarone” it has a bigger nose than this derringer but is very close in all other area. However it falls short price point. It’s 129 dollars vs the derringer’s 85 dollars. All in all this is great. It’s steep in cost but it’s a damn good pour. -

Reviewed November 19, 2021 (edited January 14, 2022)Too sweet. Needs to be cut with something for me to enjoy it. The nose smells like pancakes. It’s wonderful. The palate one note- super syrup sweet. Like drinking pancake syrup
