Saint Cloud 7 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 28, 2022 (edited December 15, 2022)Barrel name: Good Shi7. Bottle #11. Hot nose of brandy, figs, cinnamon, clove, caramel and grain. Sweet and fruity on the palate, with toasted caramel, berries, dark chocolate, brandy, butterscotch, vanilla, cinnamon, raisins and grain. Long hot and peppery finish. Quite a bit of heat on this one, but some water exposes deep richness and complexity. -
Lovely aroma of caramel, vanilla, black pepper, spicy sotol, grape, mint, lemon, brine, grass and a big dose of cedar. Woody and spicy on the palate, cedar, pepper, caramel apple, cinnamon and a hint of chocolate. A little spice at the finish. Utterly aromatic and complex. Delicious.Total Wine & More

Rich, brandy-like nose of grape, toffee, sherry cask, vanilla, chocolate, figs, herbal mint and charcoal. Sweet and slightly peppery on the palate, with flavors of chocolate, sherry, oak, caramel, stone fruit, orange flesh and toffee. Quite smooth for the proof. Solid, interesting stuff. This has to be the most sherry-forward whisky of any kind that I’ve experienced. On the palate it’s a single malt heavily influenced by the wine. On the nose I’d almost guess it’s a single malt/cognac blend.

Oak & Eden Bourbon & Spire -Toasted Oak
Bourbon — (bottled in) Texas, USA
Reviewed May 11, 2022 (edited November 14, 2022)Relatively soft throughout, bordering on thin, but with some lingering spice at the finish. Oak is the only real full flavor/smell. Caramel, oak, red hots, pear, mint, blackberry, honey, charcoal, rye, and chocolate form a soft, but nice, nose. Oak dominates on the palate, with char, cinnamon, caramel, blackberry cobbler and a fairly heavy dose of milk chocolate. Finishes oaky and peppery. I think it’s good, but if this were richer it would be much better.
