Whistlepig Summerstock Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — USA
Reviewed August 15, 2023 (edited December 25, 2023)Dried fruit- raisins and dates- as well as strong honey sweetness and some hay and floral notes- clover maybe. Unique flavors but not incredibly smooth. -
Old Elk Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey
Rye — (bottled in) Colorado, USA
Reviewed August 10, 2023Virginia ABC pick. Strong anise with a bit of sweetness and hints of earth, leather and old books. Unfortunately not very smooth- even for the proof (119) it burns more than it should. -
Penelope Barrel Strength Bourbon (Batch 11)
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed August 7, 2023 (edited July 10, 2024)Caramel, cinnamon, vanilla. A little generic tasting, not a lot stands out to me. Smooth but spicy. This is drinkable but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. -
Maker's Mark Private Selection "Brownie Sundae" (OHLQ 2021)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA, USA
Reviewed August 7, 2023This has some great, deep, old flavors in it- chocolate, mint, leather, tobacco, vanilla. But the finish could be a tad cleaner; I get a slight acetone bite that I don't love. -
Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished in Amarone Casks (2021 Limited Edition)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 1, 2023Fig, raisins, dried dark cherries, caramel, a hint of chocolate. Leather, menthol and clove in the finish, along with a moderately hefty burn. This is quite well- balanced between spicy and sweet and has some interesting, wintery flavors. -
Crown Royal Golden Apple 23 Year
Flavored Whiskey — Canada
Reviewed July 18, 2023 (edited September 12, 2023)Incredibly smooth. Caramel, apple, cinnamon- the flavors you'd expect- coupled with a smooth, short, only moderately spicy finish. I like this a lot, although probably not worth the $$$ price. -
Yellowstone Hand Picked Collection Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 11, 2023Pittsburgh Whiskey Friends pick. 109 proof. SO much peanut flavor, but also some earth, cardamom, leather, and dusty old books. Fairly spicy finish. Interesting flavors but I'm not loving it.
