Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 18, 2023For an $18 bottle it is worth it; honey, caramel sweetness on introduction to palate followed by a wave of spice; some oak notes and grains with subtle smoke on finish; a smooth sipper but mixing complexity of flavors. -
Baking spices with fruity notes climb over palate from intro to finish; satisfying spice bomb on finish; noticeable wood oak chew with tannins, spice, tobacco and smokiness; hint of tawny port wine; many different flavors dancing around which makes it both fun and difficult to identify. Overall an unique experience. The process for this bourbon is very interesting and unique, worth reading about.65.0 USD per Bottle

Elijah Craig 18 Year Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 18, 2023 (edited February 20, 2024)The experience for the price tag is just not there for me. Not anything special for the price point. Not bad at all, just underwhelming. Deep oak complexity, very smooth; low proof brings underwhelming entry to palate, but oak and subtle spice quickly come to forefront; some honey up front; oak tannin chew with leather notes, little floral or fruit, missing sweeter caramel, vanilla and cinnamon. Finishes smooth and satisfying. Subsequent follow on experiences leaves me more interested. However, for the price point not worth the investment, but definitely worth a pour at a tasting or offered elsewhere. -
Caramel nose with citrus fruit notes; tobacco and sharp pepper spice on palate; hints of cinnamon and peppermint; orange tang in finish; caramel, oak tannins, cherry come out on second tasting; finishes with oak and tobacco and spice; good flavor profile mix but younger age shows; an introduction to complexity but just not there yet; overall enjoyable sip.

Floral, apricot, fruity nose; rye spice with fruity notes; apple pie bursts out; very smooth, light cream with oak notes; some coffee, tangerine-orange; each sip brings new experience of complex flavor profile; a little sour rye spice after finish; not dull at all, very interesting experience that one can chew on for some time to experience depth of flavor profiles. Comes with hefty price tag

Dettling Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon
Bourbon — Alabama, USA
Reviewed November 18, 2023 (edited February 2, 2024)Very unique profile and red amber appearance; licorice, medicinal, Dr. Pepper, stout, chocolate, cherry; spicy. This is very interesting to try, but I cant stomach more than one sampler pour. I like the field to bottle process from South Alabama corn fields; white wheated bourbon. -
Chicken Cock 8 Year Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey
Other Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 18, 2023Ginger, pepper spice with some citrus tang; very abrupt, unsmooth finish, but with a heavy spice that lingers.
