Dragon's Milk 5 Year Origin Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Michigan , USA
Reviewed May 8, 2022 (edited August 23, 2022)It's very different from any other bourbon I've had. I tried it neat first and then moved it to a large sphere and let it sit for a bit. First, I could get the spice in the mouth but no burn going down. Definitely some vanilla wafer taste upfront, followed by a stone fruit taste on the end. This is the first non flavored whiskey I've had that actually tastes this much like apricot on the end. I don't get it from the smell, but the first taste I took made me say "Wow" because of the stone fruit finish. The large sphere immediately cut the spice and brought out more of the stone fruit and wafer taste. Overall, it's not my typical bourbon choice, however I find it very enjoyable and will be one I share with friends as a "Hey, this is different, you need to try this", and will be one I reserve for when I want something different. This price isn't horrible, but it's definitely more than I pay for a typical daily drinker. I wouldn't pay more than that, but it's a good price for what it is. The bottle is definitely a conversation piece and will be one I keep when it's finished! I want to find a way to keep it out on display. I am working on arranging my home office and would like to have some shelves to display cool bottles like this. -

Journeyman Distillery Featherbone Organic Bourbon
Bourbon — Michigan, USA
Reviewed February 12, 2022 (edited June 19, 2022)Very pleasant aroma! Tried it neat and then with some ice chips. First, it has some spice on the mouthfeel but not in the overall taste. The ice cuts down the initial spice but moves it to the back of the mouth for a brief second and disappears. I would keep this one on hand. The high corn and wheat provides a sweetness that I like. -
I tried this neat first, as normal, and it is noticeably spicy. The ethanol odor is present but not horrible. Halfway through, put some ice chips in, and it cut the spiciness and brought out the other flavors. The spice does linger afterwards, but it's good. I would keep this on hand and drink it over ice.

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed February 4, 2022 (edited June 25, 2022)Not a pleasant aroma, however the taste is far superior. I enjoyed this better on some ice, and is one I would contemplate keeping in the cabinet to have something different on hand. This was part of a Flaviar tasting box.
