Redwood Empire Lost Monarch Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — USA
Reviewed May 6, 2022 (edited August 26, 2022)Just came to add a note to all bartenders; stock this in your bar. While it’s a fine sipper, it would be great in a Manhattan. In fact it would be perfect! (Bad pun. Sorry). Good value. -
Bird Dog Small Batch Bourbon (Treeing Walker Coonhound)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 27, 2020Boring, non descript. But the milk chocolate and orange notes makes it somewhat interesting. If only it wasn’t too thin. -
Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 4, 2020 (edited July 21, 2020)McKenna was my go to bourbon for years. But then it got "discovered" and has become a cult classic and can no longer get it. Although my local liquor store did finally get a shipment in and he saved me a bottle. I was buying from him all those years. I really miss it. It had been 2 years.45.0 USD per Bottle -
TX Blended Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — (bottled in) Texas, USA
Reviewed November 30, 2019 (edited July 24, 2020)To me it's like drinking liquid pecan pie. It is definitely different than the usual American whiskey. Maybe explains the low score by the official reviewer. Enjoyable for the price. -
Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 22, 2019 (edited May 28, 2019)If you love cult status whiskey and you have money to burn this is the bourbon for you. It is nuanced, very well made. But...It is not worth the $130 price point. Its good. But not that good. I'd rather go to scotch whisky at this price point. If it were $80 I would buy it again. -
Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 10, 2019 (edited August 17, 2020)Give it time in the glass. Too be sipped over time. DON'T put any drops of water like I did at first. Take your time and it will mellow out. Not overly sweet. More nuanced. Dare I say more "sophisticated" bourbon? Menthol, butterscotch, candy apples. Getting marzipan which I assume from the higher content of barley. Hints of vanilla, leather, and nutmeg. I assume vanilla from good casks, leather from the age, and nutmeg from the rye. A hint of brewed tea. All that said I really like Russells 10 year reserve because it is richer is taste and mouthfeel. Both are good. Both are different.
