Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Strength Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed April 1, 2019 (edited February 27, 2021)Not a huge JD fan but this is really good. Will absolutely destroy your palate before anything lower proof so drink those before you get to this. Strong but smooth. Get a lot of burnt brown sugar, banana, dark fruit (plum)? . Nice long smooth finish. This is the only one I feel a couple drops of water does justice. Don’t have a hard time finding either, get one ☝️ -
Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 30, 2019 (edited May 6, 2019)Really like this one but have had a good bottle and a bad bottle... the good bottle was very smooth, nutty, banana bread on the palate along with your classic caramel vanilla notes. At the price for a 10 year, BIB single barrel offering should rate higher but know there will be inconsistencies given it’s single barrel product. -
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 15, 2019 (edited May 6, 2019)Bought this after reading a couple reviews, nothing special after initial pour. Was told to let it open up and man did it ever. Given availability and price, love the barrel proof stuff. This is an amazing bourbon and agree rivals BT stuff. Great Mouthfeel, think vanilla pound cake with a cinnamon apple caramel note on palate, leather/oak finish. Fantastic👏 Update- The more I go back to this one it is 100% consistent to profile above and absolutely delicious. Bumping it up due to how it compares against others and thank you WT 👏👏it is “wildly” available at $49 which is a ridiculously fair price and steal for those that truly appreciate bourbon.48.0 USD per Bottle -
1792 Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 21, 2019 (edited October 25, 2019)Solid BIB. My favorite of the 1792s so far. Best description would be comparable to the EH Taylor small batch BIB. Comparably Smooth with maybe a slight fruit note of some sort? Peach? Worth picking up if you can find a bottle. Would put ahead of the single barrel release.40.0 USD per Bottle -
Knob Creek 9 Year Single Barrel Reserve
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 9, 2019 (edited March 17, 2019)Quality bourbon, love single barrels and this didn’t disappoint. Smooth/Complex for 120 proof. Better than Bakers by far -
Elijah Craig 18 Year Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 2, 2019 (edited October 25, 2019)Nose was beautiful but something lacking on taste, tasted just like Evan Williams single barrel. Very smooth but nothing complex or special. Seriously thought this might be something else in bottle but they were charging for EC 18. Like the barrel proof way better and the small batch for that matter if this really was the 18 year?The Blind Elephant -
Good not great for the price, but it’s always available? I will say I liked more the further I got into the bottle...Let it sit for a couple months a little under half full when I went back to it seemed a lot better. Got some of the sweeter Caramel, vanilla, brown sugar notes where initially I tasted apple and was fruity/floral.
