Nose: I get honey and baking spices up front. Followed by brown sugar and caramel. Palate: a slight honey note, rye spice turned way up. Black pepper, touch of fennel Finish: long lasting Overall: this is a terrific rye. It’s spice, earth and sweet. It’s very vicious and mouth coating. Whatever they are doing at this distillery in the desert it’s working. This is delicious.

High West A Midwinter Night's Dram The Encore
Rye — (bottled in) Utah, USA
Reviewed December 24, 2022 (edited December 25, 2022)Nose: dark fruits heavy on the nose. Baking spices and vanilla. Some cinnamon and clove. Smells like the holidays. Palate: the white port come through. It’s a bit drying on the tongue. Rye spices compliment and give a balance to mid palate. A touch of sweetness and wine tannins. Finish: lingers on the tongue. I get some figs on the back end. Overall: 4/5 stars. It’s a great pour. I prefer the regular MWND port offering. The white port is a bit different. It’s still a very good pour it’s just different for the usual MWND.150.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed December 16, 2022 (edited January 24, 2024)Nose: classic bourbon nose some leather, a bit of barrel spice, some vanilla and brown sugar. Palate: flavor bomb.

Balcones High Plains Texas Single Malt
American Single Malt — Texas, USA
Reviewed October 9, 2022 (edited October 10, 2022)Nose: earthy in a good way. Like tobacco, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar and I get a candy hard shell like those caramel hard candies. Palate: a bit of coffee, slightly grassy which I often don’t like. It’s subtle here. A lot of Texas whiskey I find had that barn yard grassy funk in it that overwhelming. Definitely tobacco as well. This is pretty tasty Finish: lingers on the tongue and end with some sweet notes. Overall: for me it’s a 4.3/5 stars. This is stellar. As a native Texan I’m often disappointed in Texas dram. It’s often hay forward and leave this “funky” after taste. I’ve tried all the balcones and disliked them all however I was told the high plains malt is exceptionally good. It’s definitely a excellent pour. -

Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 18, 2022 (edited November 10, 2022)Nose: vanilla, brown sugar, light tobacco note Palate: tobacco, caramel, barrel spice and oak Finish: long and lingers on the tongue. I don’t get a lot of chest Kentucky hug on this. Most mouth. Overall: this is as solid a single barrel as I’ve had. Also for the record I’m a turkey ***** so I’m not surprised I like this so much. This is a high quality pour.
