  • Buffalo Trace Bourbon

    Not much on the nose, but more flavor in the middle. Some nice oiliness and a little caramel. The finish burns at first but settles nicely with a slightly nutty flavor.

  • Booker's Bourbon Batch 2016-01 "Booker's Bluegrass"

    Be prepared for some heat, and make sure you add ice or water. The nose has the typical leather and vanilla notes. Drinking neat makes it really difficult to find much flavor besides vanilla. With some ice, the leather comes on strong with the oily taste and the vanilla. It finishes very hot as well, which is a little disappointing because the flavors are very smooth in the middle.

    The nose is just some light peat with everything else indistinguishable. The taste is a wonderful blend of light peat and a light sweetness. A lovely salty vanilla flavor plays nicely with the peat. Sadly, the finish is very short.

    This definitely has some caramel and vanilla in the beginning. In the middle you get some spiciness of cinnamon or clove. The ending is all oily leather and a wonderful finish. Overall, an excellent value.

    Compared to the 10 year, this is more about the peat. Still has some lovely smokiness mixed with the peat. Has a touch of oiliness that helps this finish very smooth.

    Smells just like a classic bourbon, oak and vanilla come through really nicely. More surprising is the taste, really smooth. The addition of a light honey flavor makes this a very nice drink.

    Nice mix of oak and citrus on the nose. A little clove and leather flavor in the middle. It ends fairly smooth with some spice and rye.

    It may have the sherry but it is a pleasant sweetness. That blends wonderfully with a smoky flavor. There is a touch of spicy bite in the middle, but it all smooths out nicely in the end and leaves you wishing for more.

    Almost a peppery spice on the nose, but not a lot in the flavor. Flavor has a bit of a bite, but sweetens up quickly. Ends up a little dry with some of the oak woodiness coming through.

    It is like Ardbeg 10 and Highland Park had a baby. A smoky and peaty nose are what you expect. The light addition of honey and sherry flavors make this a fantastic drink and an excellent value. Not too sweet, and just smoky enough.
