Remus Highest Rye Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana , USA
Reviewed September 10, 2023 (edited September 21, 2023)Nose: Leather, cotton candy, toffee and sweet hay Palate: The nose follows through on the palate with added spice and corn, finishing with dry oak. It drinks a little warm but delightfully so. The Remus Straight Bourbon 94 proof was just okay. Nothing I would buy again at $40. This was a delightful bourbon I would buy again at $50.50.0 USD per BottleMaple Party Shop -
On the nose is fresh sweet hay and corn along with smarties and peanut that seem to blend together like a payday candy bar with a touch of fruitiness. The palate is not as complex - fruity, corny oak on first sip. Subsequent sips devolve into a salty caramel and corny hay that finish with a clean dry oak. Adding a touch of water increases the viscosity while muting the flavors to a vague sweet corny hay. While it is interesting and different it doesn’t have the classic Larceny flavor profile I enjoy with the rich dark brown sugars and dark fruit. This is a no for my palate but still a quality bourbon.60.0 USD per Bottle

On first crack this was typical MGP spicy toffee dried fruit with a bit of cocoa powder and oak on the back end. After sitting on the shelf for a month or two it opened up into a sweet candied version of itself with a creamy mouthfeel that leads into a warm tingly tongue feel with a long warm finish that largely stays in the mouth and jaw with some of it sliding into a gentle KY hug.

13th Colony Double Oaked Bourbon Whiskey Cask Strength
Bourbon — Georgia, USA, USA
Reviewed April 14, 2023 (edited May 11, 2023)The palate is just as dark and rich as the color and nose of this whiskey. Dark rich sugars, molasses, brown sugar, and oak are so intense and rich that it is indescribable. The finish is long and flavorful. At 135.3 proof there is definitely a KY bear hug and my lips want to go numb if I take too big a sip. You know, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all if my dentist used this to numb me up for dental work. -
Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C922
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 25, 2022 (edited September 21, 2023)Reminiscent of Ezra Brooks without the dustiness. Mix 2 parts apple pie filling with 1 part cherry pie filling served on a graham cracker crust with a sprinkle of brown sugar in terms of flavor but not sweetness. The tartness balances the sweetness. There is a little oak on the backside of the sip. The hug lingers but the flavor does not. C921 is still my favorite.64.0 USD per Bottle -
Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey
Wheat Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 19, 2022 (edited June 23, 2022)The nose is buttered toast and apple juice with a little lemon and spice. The palate is rich, buttered toast, honey, apple juice and spice. Apple peel lingers on the tongue after the finish. On first crack the buttered toast dominates nose snd palate. After some time in the glass the apple and honey are more prominent.35.0 USD per Bottle -
For some reason banana just seems out of place in a bourbon. The initial nose is exclusively banana runts, not even real banana fruit. Give it time in the glass and it will evolve into banana bread and baking spices. On the palate, banana bread, cinnamon and maybe a hint of oak if you want it bad enough. Seems hot for 100 proof. If you love bananas, this bourbon is for you. If you love bourbon, find something else.
