Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak Cask
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed July 30, 2020 (edited August 3, 2020)Tried neat- very sweet and smooth, I dont think adding water is going to do much in terms of enhancing flavor. May try on ice (or chilled) just too see. -
Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 9, 2020 (edited April 10, 2020)Neat- delicious and smooth! With water- same as neat On ice- better neat than ice, but I think that'll depend on preference. It was just really THAT good neat65.0 USD per Bottle -
Straight Edge Bourbon
Bourbon — Tennessee and Kentucky (Finished and Bottled in California), USA
Reviewed April 3, 2020Tried neat- sweet and as smooth as can be. Definitely the kind of bourbon that could easily "evaporate" out of the bottle. Tried with water- just as delicious. Tried on the rocks- just as good! -
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 3, 2020 (edited April 18, 2020)Tried neat- wow, not expecting a pour this smooth. I'm inclined to say that it doesn't need any water or ice... Tried on the rocks- not bad at all, definitely above average, but I think this bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with some water, depending on preference. Once the temperature dropped, I felt like it wasn't as smooth on the finish. Tried with splash of water- I think that my first inclination was right. Neat or slightly diluted is the best way to enjoy this one55.0 USD per Bottle -
Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed April 1, 2020 (edited May 2, 2020)Drank neat Bottle I picked is a whopping 135.1 proof, so (without say) the initial kick on it is STRONG. Take a few sips to get your mouth used to it then, try to really taste it. Overall, it's not bad. Tried on the rocks A lot more palatable, the cooler temp makes it a lot smoother going down! Tried with some water Really opens up the flavor. Like some of the other high proof bourbon in my collection, i think this one is best muddled down with some ice and just a hair of water to open it up65.0 USD per Bottle -
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 4, 2019 (edited December 15, 2019)Tried neat- initial taste is smooth. Going down there's a light burn, but mellows out pretty fast. The finish leaves a slight coat on the tongue, but very delicious! Tried on rocks (let sit for a few mins)- very smooth, taste is still evident, but a lot more toned because of the water. Will have to try chilled to see if I like it that wayBakersfield Short North -
I.W. Harper 15 Year Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 16, 2019 (edited January 27, 2020)Tried neat- very sweet, slight burn on the throat, but still VERY pleasant. Tried on the rocks- much better. The sweetness really comes out when lightly diluted with water. (NOTE: let it sit on ice for a few mins. Straight chilled makes it taste a bit bitter on the burn.)Buckeye Bourbon House -

Reviewed August 11, 2019 (edited February 25, 2020)3.75/5 Very smooth for high proof bourbon! I dont think I would get again, but it was not bad at all
