Rabbit Hole Dareringer Straight Bourbon Finished in PX Sherry Casks
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 7, 2024Elegant and refined, fairly sweet, with raisins, sherry, baking spices, and a bit of cherry appearing on my palette. Dareringer was my favorite in the flight I had at Rabbit Hole’s Overlook bar in Louisville—other than their truly eye-opening rye-barrel aged Bespoke Gin—and I still enjoy it very much today. It’s very easy-drinking given the proof.79.99 USD per BottleTotal Wine & More -
There’s nothing refined or subtle about this bold rye, which may or may not be a good thing. Black cherry and dark honey appear in the nose. On the palette, it’s sweet, with hints of the aforementioned cherries and honey, plus lots of strong rye spice. Hints of honey pop up in the finish, plus something floral, and a bit of numbing menthol. This bottle was a gift. The taste is unusual, and although interesting, I wouldn’t seek out another bottle.

Jack Daniel's Green Label
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed January 29, 2024 (edited January 30, 2024)I saw this at The White Rabbit Bottle Shop while visiting the Jack Daniel Distillery. A sign said it’s only sold in five states, and California wasn’t one of them, so I took a bottle home. I was told the green label comes from the lower ricks of the warehouse and is aged 4–5 years, whereas the black label comes from the middle ricks and is aged 6–8 years. That being said, it tastes like a dilute, less mature version of the black label. It’s crisper and harsher, with the banana element more pronounced. I’m glad I tried it, but I wouldn’t seek out another bottle.35.0 USD per BottleThe White Rabbit Bottle Shop -
It’s got a pleasant pine aroma and a strong pine flavor, but is definitely not for everyone. I can imagine it reminding people of a cleaning solution. If you like pine or wood aromas and flavors, you may like this. If you want the same sort of aroma and flavor, but want it sweet, look for a liqueur called mastica, which I like a lot more.44.99 USD per BottleHi-Time Wine Cellars

I’m a bourbon drinker, and have little experience with rum outside of tiki drinks. Having visited the Strong Water Anaheim tiki bar this rum was blended for, I picked up a bottle and am drinking it neat, like I do most spirits at home. I was surprised at the bananas foster aroma and flavor: warm, ripe bananas, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon are very obvious.29.99 USD per BottleHi-Time Wine Cellars

Jack Daniel's Tennessee Tasters' Selection Barrel Proof Rye
Rye — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed November 20, 2023 (edited November 22, 2023)When I bought a couple of bottles at the White Rabbit Bottle Shop before taking a tour at the Jack Daniel Distillery, I had no idea this would be one of the best whiskies I’d ever drink. It’s simply phenomenal. Rich and sweet in the nose, with rum- or whiskey-soaked raisins, vanilla, and oak. Sweet on the palette, with molasses, vanilla, and rye spice, and a bit of burn as it goes down. Finishes a little dryer, with plenty of rye spice lingering on the lips and tongue for a good while.37.5 USD per BottleThe White Rabbit Bottle Shop -
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Tasters' Jamaican Allspice
Tennessee Whiskey — USA
Reviewed October 24, 2023Strong, sweet aromas of baking spices in the nose. Initially sweet on the palette, followed by an intense, dryer burst of clove, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon, then dark stone fruit, like Italian plums, which lingers for a while. Finishes fairly dry. It’s definitely something out of the ordinary, and I’m glad I picked up a couple of bottles at the White Rabbit Bottle Shop in Lynchburg.37.5 USD per BottleThe White Rabbit Bottle Shop
