WhistlePig The Boss Hog IV: The Black Prince
Rye — Indiana (bottled in Vermont), USA
Reviewed December 1, 2017 (edited December 10, 2017)$550 Nose surprised me at first as it didn't smell like anything mainstream, but after the 1st sniff I started getting notes of oak, caramel, vanilla, spices, apricots, burnt sugar. Very satisfying and complex as well. On the palate so delicious and smooth yet having a very bold taste with hints of oak, nuts, fruit, and sugar. Very long finish of that burnt sugar again. Is it worth $500, well not much is but to me it's worth it because it not only tastes good but more importantly it's different than anything I've had before as well. That pewter top is also a great collectors item :) on a serious note though it really does have a complex nose, palate, and finish that lasts which to me makes a great whiskey. Well it didn't take me long to have another pour this afternoon after a very long day because I wanted to see if the hype was still there. And guess what this keeps getting better. On the finish I noticed there's a nice mild peppercorn spice to it, not the normal in your face spice that a lot of whiskeys share. Really digging this. Going to pick up another bottle because this isn't going to last me long. -
Jefferson's Reserve Pritchard Hill Cabernet Cask Finish
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 30, 2017 (edited December 6, 2017)$79 Sweet notes of dark berries, chocolate and a whole lotta cab/Port on the nose. Palate reminds me of the new basil Hayden dark rye but a little tamer. Reminds me of drinking a nice red wine while eating those raspberry dark chocolates they give ya at Arrington Vineyards but with a hotter finish of course. I really enjoyed this and think it’s definitely worth the buy but I’m biased a little because I also enjoy a nice glass of cab/port as well. It’s definitely a unique bourbon that I think you’ll either love or hate.
