Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B523
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 21, 2023 (edited January 10, 2024)NEAT NOSE - Sweet Hawaiian Roles with Honey brushed over the top initially after I poured it into the glass. After some aerating, more honey and cinnamon came through with some lightly roasted nuts. PALATE - Sweet. Cinnamon and Honey FINISH - Medium BUY AGAIN?? - This is a great bourbon, but the more wheated whiskies I have, I notice I’m not the biggest fan. I like high rye bourbons and ryes so much more. But again, this is good and I am far from giving up on wheated bourbons. I wouldn’t keep a backup of this, but I will try to get the next batch. RECAP: I have come back to this bottle and its much better than the first pour. All the notes are there, but its more full in flavor than before. -
Knob Creek Smoked Maple
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 18, 2023 (edited February 13, 2024)NEAT This literally smells and tastes like a bourbon mixed with your basic maple syrup. I can’t stand it neat since I dont drink maple syrup alone, so I resorted to putting it in my hot toddies when I’m sick until the bottle is gone. If you enjoy flavored whiskeys from Ol’ Smoky Moonshine, then you’ll likely love this one. -
CHAR - 2 , TOAST - Heavy NEAT NOSE - Light Brown Sugar, Honey, and Caramel PALATE - Velvety mouthfeel with sweet, sweet honey FINISH - Short, but very pleasant with no burn or spice BUY AGAIN?? This is good, but for a next bottle I’d like to get either a cask strength or store pick. I’ve seen Cask Strengths with a proof of 110 and I’ve seen a Total Wine Pick at 115 proof. Im sure then, this nice toasted bourbon would be closer to 4, maybe 4+ stars.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Strength Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed December 12, 2023 (edited March 6, 2024)BARREL HOUSE : 2-21 BARREL # : 22-07762 BOTTLING DATE : 9.21.22 NEAT NOSE - Banana, Caramel, Dark Brown Sugar PALATE - Think eating a bannana rolled in brown sugar with caramel drizzled over it. This is an amazing pour with tons of complexity. Im sure my tasting notes are only scratching the surface. FINISH - Long and Pleasant BUY? - Absolutely. One of the best barrel proof bottles for the price and readily available. BUY AGAIN?? Absolutely. This is something to keep stocked as soon as the open bottle gets low. Plus the availability should make it fairly easy. -
NEAT NOSE - Very sweet and fruity. I get some syrup on the nose along with some peach and maybe a little bit of pear. PALATE - Sweet. Like a thin syrup with hints if fruit. Predominately peach. FINISH - Medium - Long BUY AGAIN?? Absolutely. This is my favorite BARRELL that I’ve had of the finished series.

RD One Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 1, 2023 (edited December 2, 2023)NEAT NOSE - Apples and Cinnamon with some vanilla. “Apple Jacks” or an Apple Cinnamon Nutri-grain Bar PALATE - Apples and Cinnamon FINISH - Doesn’t last long, but very pleasant. OVERALL - I thought people were exagerrating when they said this smelled and tasted like Apple Jacks, but they weren’t lying! I even had my wife smell it and she immediately said it tasted like apples and cinnamon. For the price and proof, this is an excellent value. Speaking of the proof, this honestly goes down like a 90 proof, not 110. Definite buy and something I’d like to keep on the shelf.
