It's the best bourbon I've had hands down for the price. Uncut Unfiltered, move over... It's like they somehow took out the high-rye spicy note out of Uncut, and you just have waves of creamy vanilla left over. . I also wondered if a pricing error was made by the store or distillery, but let's keep it that way!33.0 USD per Bottle

Heaven's Door Homesick Blues
Bourbon — Minnesota, USA
Reviewed February 19, 2024 (edited February 27, 2024)The wheat is integrated so perfectly with the corn, and it's incredibly smooth for the abv. It absolutely destroyed Barrell Foundation (which is pretty good by itself) and made it taste like water. Tried at a friend's or I'd have more its many notes. Would love to blind this with Bardstown Origin series wheated. -
Nose: Almost no nose except a slight honey. Palate: certainly no flavor bomb, but there is a faint caramel, a high-rye backbone, and a mineral note (Dickel?). It creates a nice mouthfeel with its blend of sources and overall favors being smooth over flavor. In a blind it barely narrowed out the similarly priced Bardstown Origin series straight bourbon...55.0 USD per Bottle

Balcones Cataleja
American Single Malt — Texas, USA
Reviewed December 26, 2023 (edited January 1, 2024)Cateleja is a complex beast. Raisins, truffles, sulphuric dry sherry sweetness, chocolate, dates, tobacco, and mature grapes. Cons: 1. The price 2. The rotten egg flavor of sulphuric sherry, which is prominent with the bottle first opened. (A popular Youtuber review even started the review with a frown about the rotten egg note, but later admires its 'complexity'.) Pros: 1. Complex 2. Unique 3. Maybe all those dark flavors coalesce and harmonize with a little air and time opened up... I'm taking a half-glass empty approach, especially after comparing it to the instantly pleasing and wondrous Glendronach batch 12 right afterwards...120.0 USD per Bottle -
Old Overholt 10 Year Cask Strength Rye (2023 Release)
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 26, 2023 (edited April 11, 2024)Incredible. I've had many ryes, but not many that make me want to keep returning to the glass as it gets better and better. It combines waves of syrupy brown sugar and a Beam old dusty peanut note (which may sound weird, but makes it even more addictive) and is so smooth for 60 abv. The hype is real, and I would not pass this up.92.0 USD per Bottle
