Smoke Wagon Small Batch Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana (bottled in Nevada), USA
Reviewed March 6, 2024Ok, i heard tne hype that this was a winner for the price , but i kissed too many frogs in price point and wasted alot a time and money . While this frog may not be a prince , it has some powerful legs to win alot of races . Share this pour with friends and enjoy the praise this bottle deserves. Notes of sweet oak and soft vanilla on the nose that follow thru on the palate and continue to add nice notes of mint and lemongrass . -
Nose includes notes dried fruits , banana , . Nice flavors of soft vanilla and toasted oak . Drinks at 107 proof . Fleeting notes of dickel flintstine vitamins , but flitter softly in and our and do not distract from this being a nice pour. . Nice finish of oak that lasts a minute or longer on the tongue . Score 3.75 , possibly 4. Not the best BB , but solid pour

Smoke Wagon Small Batch Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana (bottled in Nevada), USA
Reviewed October 4, 2023 (edited December 16, 2023)Nice nose with notes of creamy vanila oak, burnt sugars, and dandelion tea. Drinks correctly at 100 proof with notes of nice oak backbone with hints of lemongrass and salted dark chocolate . Very solid pour and almost scored at 4 stars, but tonight it just felt it needed a little something else to grab that extra bump i couldnt find. -
Nice and crushable but needs something more to make it worth the price. Nice nose and sweet cherry cordial pie flavors , but finish is so short . Hits well below 100 proof and thin mouthfeel . The juice is really good and if that was the only factor to consider when scoring this i would give it a higher score , but at $100 bottle it needs to take you on a better finished trip

Black Ridge Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 13, 2023 (edited July 14, 2023)Pleasantly surprised by this pour. I didnt think i would hate it, but also didnt expect myself to grab additonal pours. I expected the alcohol or corn mash to dominate the nose at this price point, but actually had some nice notes of vanilla , buttered oak. Mouthfeel is thin , but still nice soft vanilla on the palate , some cornbread on the finish. Easy sipper that doesnt require alot of thought. It’s not going to impress your friends ,but isnt priced that way , so don’t feel guilty of buying it to have as an affordable pour. This one can be sipped alone while watching tv and noticing that your glass in empty again. -
Barrell Dovetail (122.9 Proof)
Blended American Whiskey — (bottled in) Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 12, 2023This is definitely a fun pour, but one i have to be in the mood for. Nose is confectionery sugar, vanilla, toffee, banana, honeydew , and mint. Palate is definitely hot and all 120 plus proof shows up in the back of the tongue. Flavors of overripe banana, cinnamon, and spearmint . Good pour that somedays i enjoy more than others, but glad i have a bottle when that urge hits for banana fosters in a glass.
