Ironroot Promethean (16 Months)
Bourbon — Texas, USA
Reviewed June 15, 2020 (edited September 20, 2020)Nose: strong ethanol, oak spice. Candy store sweetness. Taste: right off the bat the taste is strong corn whiskey, not too sweet, some hot cinnamon. Finishes with a little tannin dryness. But gives me a saccharine aftertaste. Pretty different from the usual bourbon. -
Nose: peaty burned rubber with a medicinal smell reminding me of old hospital smells, camphor or phenol. Any sweet smell is overpowered by the smoke. Taste: more pleasant than the smell. Sweet marmalade, citrus, ester flavors in the finish. I would have scored higher if that camphor wouldn’t have made me think of clinic visits with Nurse Ratched.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed June 9, 2020 (edited August 14, 2020)Nose: brown sugar, over ripe banana, a little bit of nail polish remover. Taste: Starts with a BURST of sweetness followed by cinnamon spice heat and oak and banana fumes enter your sinus. Wood tannins finish it off. The length of your esophagus will not be ignored as it travels down.
