Heaven Hill Bottled In Bond 7 Year
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 20, 2022 (edited February 25, 2022)Nose: cinnamon toast, cherry, oak, light pecan wood. Peach and Smokey apples. Taste: heavy oak and tobacco with intense rye spice. Light fruit notes toward the finish of pears and apples with a light honey. Water intensifies the oak and caramel, moving the fruitiness to the end. -
Allegedly not "real Japanese whisky" if you're concerned about that. Nose: Crisp apples, pears, and honey. Heavy cake-y malt. Peaches, green grapes with the skins. Taste: light pear upside down cake with dense honey. Mild peaty and fruity finish including melons and peaches. Almost a bananas foster note as well. Not a bad blend. The taste is varied enough not to get too boring or one dimensional. Wouldn't pay more than like $40 a bottle though.35.0 USD per Bottle

Nose: intense lemon, orange, and fig. Vanilla pudding and light fruit cake. Taste: bananas foster with a slight hint of apple and cinnamon. Very grassy hay finish. Light hint of vanilla, caramel, and toffee. Water brings out the citrus, wood oils and burnt fruit cake flavors. Not too bad but nothing mind blowing. You can definitely tell the grain is the dominant part of the blend but the malt and pot still definitely helps round things out. It’s good to see at a reasonable price rather than shoving outsourced stuff at a premium price.40.0 USD per Bottle

Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye Distiller's Edition 92 Proof
Rye — Virginia, USA
Reviewed December 6, 2021 (edited June 19, 2022)Nose: Intense dill, peaches, vanilla and light hay / dirt. Aniseed and dill merge into a rye bread scent. Very light chocolate and apple nose. Taste: Very thin and watery open of dirty hay that slowly devolves into heavy rye spice and caramel with a bright dill and menthol finish. Water brings everything out. Light toffee and caramel covered peaches with mint and dill with the dirty hay note buried towards the end and a spicy finish. Maybe needs more time in the bottle but kinda underwhelming at least for my tastes. Would probably be a good cocktail base. -

Reviewed December 5, 2021 (edited December 6, 2021)Nose: baked apples. Cinnamon, nutmeg, light hint of chocolate and tobacco. Taste: strong apple and cinnamon with caramel vanilla and oak. Average bourbon nothing too special or weird.
