Woodinville Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Washington, USA
Reviewed March 10, 2021 (edited August 18, 2021)Nose is dry, oaky, and slightly sour. The palate is cherry coke and oak. The finish is at first bitter but after a few sips to normalize the palate, it turns peppery deep in the throat. This brings a lot for a 90 proof whiskey. A unique flavor you will either appreciate or dislike, no in betweens. I fall on the appreciate side of the scale. Collectors and craft fans should snag a bottle, casual drinkers might pass. I wonder if more time in the barrel would round out the flavors or go off the chart oaky? Two years on, finishing this bottle, and I have the exact same assessment. -
Light, sweet, slightly soapy nose. Palate does not bring a lot. Sweetness, corn, a little grain alcohol. Peppery finish, warm. This is a bargain shelf bottled in bond. Evan Williams BIB, another from Heaven Hill, brings more flavor personality for just a couple dollars more, and more widely available.16.0 USD per Bottle

Knob Creek Single Barrel Select (Missouri Customers) W-N, F-05, R-021
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed February 20, 2021The nose is fairly light for 120 proof. Peanut brittle and slightly floral. Not overly oily in the glass. The proof comes through on the palate. Peanuty, but peppery and hot. The flavor is front and mid-palate. There is a touch of paint. Water/ice improves this one. -
Rebel Distiller's Collection Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed January 9, 2021 (edited June 22, 2021)Bubbles Wine and Spirits, Kansas City, Mo Barrel# 7112071, 4 yrs old Light nose,sweet and orangy. Palate follows suit, but with a touch of ethanol and licorice. The licorice lingers on the finish and black peppery heat comes in the end. A good value, but probably more of a mixer.30.0 USD per Bottle -
Ezra Brooks Distiller's Collection Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed January 9, 2021 (edited July 25, 2021)Bubbles Wine and Spirits, Kansas City, MO Barrel#7015837, 4yrs old Nose is barn straw, almonds, and honey. The palate is sweet pit fruits, cherry pie. Short finish bringing a slightly bitter grass on the tongue, but not overwhelmingly so. Ends with a warm chest you might expect from this proof. I do not pick up any ethanol which is a pleasant surprise for this youthful a whiskey. Fairly simple. Definitely worth the asking price.30.0 USD per Bottle -
Barrell Bourbon Batch 025
Bourbon — (bottled in) Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 1, 2021 (edited May 31, 2021)Nose belies the proof, mild, syrupy and fruity. Heavy on the Dickel. Tasty cherry pie palate. Very tasty. Short finish.93.0 USD per Bottle -
Long legs in the glass. Sweet brown sugar nose, molasses and a slight spice and pepper. Does not bring the alcohol you might expect at this proof. Very sweet on the palate, caramel and brown sugar with a hint of almond. Flavor is concentrated on the middle of the tongue. Spice and heat come with the finish and fades nicely with the heat lingering in your chest. Unique and very nice. Follow up, the more I drink this, the more I like it. This whiskey is borderline exceptional. Finishing my second bottle of this, my opinion hasn't changed. This is easily the best Barrell batch I've had, although I have to admit I'm not a long time drinker of Barrell products.86.0 USD per Bottle

Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon 7 Year (2020 Limited Edition)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 8, 2020 (edited January 10, 2021)Light nose, salted caramel, honey, and a little fruit pie. The palate follows suit more intensely. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove come forward and the armagnac makes the sweetness linger. Long warm finish and there is a nuttiness there as well. No water necessary unless you want a mellower whiskey on the tongue. Long legs in the glass and oily mouth feel. This whiskey will give you a lot if you give it time. At $120, I don't know that I would recommend it to everyone, but for collectors, this is a nice addition.120.0 USD per Bottle
