Garrison Brothers Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Texas, USA
Reviewed August 10, 2019 (edited June 19, 2020)Another Bourbon with aroma that shines and flavor that just misses really driving it home. Nose- excellent mix of cinnamon spice, oats, Wood & char Palate- a subdued return of the aroma notes but the addition of some vanilla at the end Finish- is short and pleasant but tapers to an interesting dryness. I would buy this but GB products are a bit pricey. -
Very good Bourbon that I will have to travel to buy again. Nose- very enticing with charred oak, vanilla & hint of toasted coconut followed by cinnamon/spice (the nose is king) Palate- silky not quite creamy or oily and again vanilla with slight notes of chocolate & nut Finish- short/medium but slightly sweet and very pleasant

Jim Beam Pre-Prohibition Style Rye
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 4, 2019 (edited October 6, 2019)No, just no. This is not bad but it’s just not worth being in the standard rotation or even being re-purchased. (Just trying to use it up in cocktails) -
*Part of the Distiller Top Single Barrels under $100* Nose- light toast & light fruit, honey & vanilla Palate- velvety smooth viscosity with sweet Butterscotch & vanilla Finish- light oak but tapers quickly and is short Note: this is not a complex Bourbon but does not disappoint as an easy-drinking, low priced Single Barrel

Jim Beam Pre-Prohibition Style Rye
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 25, 2019 (edited October 6, 2019)First trial and I am not impressed, it’s not bad but merely boring. I will leave no tasting notes this time as it was quite one-dimensional. It may be a strict mixer but I will try it neat again for good measure. Presently - not a repeat purchase. -
A new rendering of this expression does not live up to my previous experience. Being a Single Barrel Bourbon there can be some fluctuation but this seems pretty dramatic. This bottle is much dryer and high on the ethanol nose & palate. Dropping it 3/4 ⭐️ from its previous score. **Edit - this bottle makes an excellent Old Fashioned though**
