  • JB Rader's 103 Proof

    Easily the best moonshine I’ve ever tasted. The aroma and flavor are just perfect. JB Rader worked with the legendary Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton, and he knows what’s he’s doing. I got to try it coming right off the still at 118 proof, and it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.

    Disappointing. I expected much more given the price of a bottle. Well, I’ve been on a bourbon kick for a while now, and for me this scotch just doesn’t compare. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    This moonshine (white, unaged whiskey) is made using the still in The Underground speakeasy at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas. It’s made with 100% corn and is 100 proof. There’s buttered popcorn in the nose and corn on the palette, with a little numbing menthol appearing in the finish.

    Now that’s unusual. Strong aroma of cocoa powder with a hint of…ashes? Thick, creamy mouthfeel, with rich flavors of chocolate and oak on the palette. A bit of smoke, almost like bacon, appears on the long finish. Aroma of cedar wood in the empty glass. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    BAND-AIDS in the nose, somewhat sweet on the palate, with BAND-AIDS and then strong iodine showing up in the fairly long finish. It’s good when you feel like a peated scotch. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    Sometimes peanuts, sometimes cherry, and all the time cedar blocks or chips in the aroma. Moderately sweet on the palette, with a hint of wallpaper paste. Despite the description, I actually do like this bourbon. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    Initially, I got the aroma of banana pudding, but that was followed by that of strong gingerbread spices. The flavor is spicy, but only moderately sweet. Mint in the finish. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    As a fan of bourbon, I don’t get most of the comments here. This scotch has a fairly weak flavor, with a bit of smoke, and I find it dry rather than sweet. Vanilla, brown sugar, raisins…nope, none of those are there for me. Just disappointment. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

    Very nice. Delicious. Vanilla and a touch of citrus in the nose. The flavor is rich, moderately sweet, with wonderful floral notes and a bit of rye spice. The finish is long and pleasant, and ends with the faintest tingle of menthol. Slightly pricey, but you’re paying for the cool bottle, too.

    I was hoping that Kahlúa Especial would be better than regular Kahlúa, more like the Kahlúa I remember from two or three decades ago, but it’s not obviously so. People say it’s less sweet, but it’s still plenty sweet. It says “made for cocktails” right on the label. I’m sure it’s great in a Black Russian or White Russian. I added some milk. It’s fine, but nothing really especial.
