Lukas Liquour 24220, 12/22, 109.1 proof Sweet apple and fig nose. MM consistent minimal legs in the glass. Pleasant but light nose, stewed sweet applea and light fall spice. Palate follows with a smoky emphasis. Ice brings the apple forwaed, but smoke remains. The private selection series is so variable and hit and miss, this one seens to be ib thw middle. Price is right.48.0 USD per Bottle

Barrel 1363. Nose starts out musty and moves into toasted rye bread and a touch of pine. Decent legs in the glass. The palate hits strong with white pepper and it slowly grabs your whole mouth and holds on for quite a while, especially on the rim of your tongue. Their is a hint of licorice but the pepper completely dominates. I like this but it is monolithic. I let this sit with some ice for a few minutes as sometimes that helps bring out depth in whiskey. This did back off the pepper some and let some rye flavor come forward, but not enough to turn this into a sipper. This was a store pick and had been on the shelves for a while. I think that's why the price was so low ($32). Seems like I usually see these for the low to mid $40's. I think this is a 95% rye from MGP, not sute, though. I've definitely had better picks from Pepper, but can't complain. I think this bottle is destined for cocktails.32.0 USD per Bottle

Booker's Bourbon Batch 2022-03 "Kentucky Tea Batch"
Bourbon — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed October 18, 2023 (edited October 20, 2023)Surprising lack of legs in the glass. Beautiful nose has stewed appls, and spices of cardamon, coriander, and cream of tartar. The palate hits straight on. Hot spice and bitter. A little melted ice brings the peanut forward and the spice gets stronger but the dry bittetness persists. Finish brings leather, hay, and pepper. -
Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A123
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 2, 2023 (edited October 20, 2023)Little legs, but the glass stays well coated after a twirl. Very nice butterscotch nose. Palate has apple, caramel, and hot cinnamon. Finish starts slow, but brings on bitter chocolate with hot pepper spice. This is nice, but not great.65.0 USD per Bottle -
Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C923
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 2, 2023 (edited October 20, 2023)Little to no legs when swirled in the glass. Nose brings fresh apple, leather and cinnamon. The palate is a spice bomb, cinnamon and pepper, no fuit to be found. Iget a hint of coconut and bitter chocolate. Leaves the rim of the tongue tingling. The finish is pretty hot, red pepper flakes maybe. Good for high prrof lovers, but not there best offering, not even the best of the year.65.0 USD per Bottle
