TX Blended Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — (bottled in) Texas, USA
Reviewed March 28, 2022 (edited January 30, 2024)I've heard people describe vanilla and birthday cake flavors in whiskey before and never really had any whiskeys that had those notes. This one hits you in the face with both of those flavors big time, which turns it into a bit of a love or hate it affair. I personally like the vanilla flavor they have going on and it's really impressive that they didn't use any additives to achieve it. It's a great dessert whiskey, but if you are searching for typical bourbon flavors you may be pretty disappointed. -
Definitely a dessert whiskey. Tastes like a banana crem brulee with a nice strong finish. I wouldn't want to sip on this all the time, as the flavor is a bit much after the first drink and it would be cost prohibitive at $75+ for a bottle, but it is very good in small amounts. A nice celebratory whiskey.

Maker's Mark 46 French Oaked
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 22, 2022 (edited April 17, 2022)Surprised this one gets rated less than 4 and put in the "meh" category by a lot of people. I think for the price this is a great classic bourbon that has a lot of oak, brown sugar, and cinnamon notes. Much better than the regular Maker’s Mark, although the straight bourbon is still plenty good. Tried it back-to-back with Maker’s Mark FAE-01 and honestly liked this a bit better. The reviewer score of 90 is completely reasonable in my opinion. -
Slipknot No. 9 Reserve Iowa Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — Iowa, USA
Reviewed January 21, 2022 (edited July 18, 2022)My first sip out of the bottle actually tasted pretty good with some spices and marshmallow flavor. However, once I poured a glass, I got a strange plastic and cherry cough syrup taste, which I think others have noted is probably a particular spice note, that unfortunately doesn't agree with me. Wanted to like this one as I really enjoyed the regular No9 but it's not doing it for me at all so far. They are very different so if you disliked No9, that doesn't mean you will necessarily dislike No9 Reserve.
