Military Special Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 30, 2019 (edited December 30, 2020)Almost no scent, unless you really sink your nose into it. The flavor is surprisingly not bad, which is what I was anticipating, but instead, it turns out to be less flavorful than most flavored waters, with only grain notes to speak of, and almost no wood. If used in any cocktails (which is the only use for this from now on), it will probably have the volume used doubled to get any good flavor from this 3 year aged, 80 proof bourbon.9.0 USD per Bottle -
A large amount of wheat and grain scent and flavor, as if it were very young, but we know it can't be too young. It's got a great barrel caramel flavor throughout, which again, is very contradicting and strange. Overall, it finishes with a bit of smoke, but falls away quite quickly.23.0 USD per Bottle

Limestone Branch Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed June 23, 2019 (edited September 9, 2020)For a 15 month bourbon, combined with a level 3 char, this has all the grain smell and taste of a moonshine, and just barely unlocks some barrel caramel as air meets the finish. I prefer barrel flavor in my bourbon, but if I had to have a young bourbon on my bar, this is the best so far.28.0 USD per Bottle -
Lots of smoke flavor, but not enough to overwhelm you. It doesn't quite achieve the wood level that other bourbons do with double oaking, but instead transforms Jim Beam into any other number of top shelf bourbons that achieve a full barrel flavor with only the one go through the barrel. For the cost, this is probably a permanent staple of the bar.
