Burnside Oregon Oaked Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed March 31, 2020 (edited November 22, 2021)As an Oregon resident, I wanted to start a collection of Oregon based bourbons and whiskeys. This Portland spirit was seventh in "trying them all."I will talk about those at another time. Burnside is a major avenue that runs through Portland. Years ago, (and may still be) the street was the area where the down and outer's slept on the sidewalks,doorways and alleys. When I was young...it was called "skid row" There is also a major bridge crossing the Willamette River by the same name. I don't know if this spirit is a tribute to the folks who lived on the street of just the bridge. The bottle's label is a teal color with a reddish 1920s font, (decent for saving) with a nice wood stopper. The taste,( I'm a novice... so don't put too much into this), was better then some young bourbons I've tasted. The first sip seemed wheated and a slightly oak prominence. The best I can offer at this time is: This spirit would be a fair addition to anyone collecting bourbon from other states. The price was, a few dollars over what I would pay for a daily sipper (I usually drink alone), but...to share with others...This bottle would be a good conversation bottle. I hope this helps.36.95 USD per Bottle -

Bourbon — Kentucky (bottled in Oregon), USA
Reviewed January 14, 2020 (edited November 13, 2021)I bought this on a whim (as usual), when Elmer T Lee was STILL nowhere to be found.

I RECOMMEND this spirit to anyone wanting to enjoy a mellow sipper with touch of spice.34.95 USD per Bottle -
Fighting Cock 6 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 10, 2020 (edited June 18, 2020)I bought this spirit on sale at the local state ran store. I was told the 93 proof was to compete with Wild Turkey. ?...Although I enjoy WT...this bourbon has it's own mellow bite that IS acceptable and worth the low price. I DO recommend Fighting Cock as an alternative to other non BNB bourbons. Just the crazy name creates fun conversation, and is a good bourbon for cocktails...."FIGHTING COCKTAILS'! CHEERS!16.95 USD per Bottle -
A surprise to be sure...I bought this bourbon as "pick in a poke...what the hell" I'll give it a try deal...(we've all done it)....you SEE something new...the clerk say's "it's NEW here and on sale" So....ya give it a try. I, not being one to buy anything from Canada...OK....a few things....decided to give this a try. The taste was smooth as most blends are. NO big one flavor stands out..but it certainly was enjoyable. I will share this spirit with all who stop by . The price was more then fair.. The taste was a 3.8 and a .2 for a good price...I might buy again.21.0 USD per Bottle

Weller Special Reserve Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 9, 2019 (edited January 19, 2023)WOW! very smooth...excellent bourbon for the price. A bit hard to find in Oregon(not impossible), most state ran stores can get it....so you may have to shop. This spirit does NOT have the "punch in the chest" that the 107 antique delivers...but the taste and smoothness are very good. I am very HAPPY with my purchase...$27.00 for 750ml. I recommend this bourbon as a pleasant addition to any collection. I am giving 4 stars for the taste and a half star for the price and availability.27.0 USD per Bottle -
George Dickel No. 12
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed September 3, 2019 (edited October 21, 2019)A very interesting bourbon...the first taste had a peanut flavor with a bit of peat. As I got to the mid point of the 750ml bottle, the peat flavor disappeared. I found this spirit to be a VERY good sipper and the price was more then fair. 3.75 stars for flavor and .25 stars for price and availability.20.0 USD per Bottle
