New Southern Revival Jimmy Red Corn Bourbon
Bourbon — South Carolina , USA
Reviewed January 30, 2023Nose: sweet and slightly sour, like an old gym bag. Very young smelling. Past the slight funk is a prominent sweetness. Palate: definitely getting the corn forward sweetness but it lacks any distinctive body to the flavors Finish: really short lasting sweetness, slight vanilla pound cake on the finish. Why buy this when you have get mellow corn? -

Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI (2022 Medley)
Bourbon — Indiana , USA
Reviewed January 11, 2023 (edited February 17, 2023)Nose: sweet sweet peanut brittle. If I didn’t know any better I’d say this was a Russell’s pick. Palate: some candied pecans, and some slightly bitter but pleasant barrel tannins, but I can’t seem to pull anything else out of it. Finish: the finish outshines the palate, oak is definitely here along with big red gum and some cayenne in the back of the throat. Not what I expected from the nose so it was fun! -
Remus Repeal Reserve Series V (2021 Medley)
Bourbon — Indiana , USA
Reviewed January 11, 2023 (edited January 12, 2023)Nose: queen Ann cherries, pecan meltaway, pull n peel Twizzlers, candied orange slices Palate: gentle and oily at first but then a kick of black pepper/hot tamales punches mid palate. Finish: smokey sweet pipe tobacco, and the cherry/orange/nutty flavors are just dancing around FOREVER this is some top tier but gentle juice. I have to concentrate on the flavors because they are layered so nicely that if I wasn’t paying attention I would pound through this glass. -
Knob Creek 18 Year 30th Anniversary
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 20, 2022 (edited November 28, 2022)Nose: very oak forward as expected, dark candied cherries, canned chocolate frosting, and that classic Jim Beam nuttiness Palate: oak is not out of balance even with it being 18 years old, plenty of sweet Virginia pipe tobacco, and leather, very rich on the palate Finish: slight bitterness (oak tannins?) are balanced nicely with the high cocoa chocolate, and a little nutty dryness that is a dead giveaway for Jim beam. Dryness disappears and I’m left with pipe tobacco and wood lingering for several minutes 85/100 or 4.25/5169.0 USD per Bottle -
Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A121
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 4, 2022 (edited August 5, 2022)Neat in a glencairn Appearance: golden copper with slow forming thicc legs Nose: baked apples and buttery cinnamon streusel Palate: slightly thin on the palate but then pops with dried fruit and nuts…like trail mix missing the m&m’s Finish: sweet nuttiness and red cinnamon candy, and the apple comes back through in the end. Solid 82 (converts to 4.1) this is an instant buy for me -
Elijah Craig 18 Year Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 21, 2022 (edited July 16, 2022)Tasted neat in a glencairn Nose: smells like a werther’s caramel that has been sitting in the bottom of your grandmother’s leather purse for the better part of two decades Palate: ultra soft caramel fudge, rich mouthfeel and the creamy filling from a Queen Ann cherry. The oaky presence is bold and obvious. Finish: little burst of tart citrus, plenty of cherry, oak and caramel to last. Killer dram, thanks @LandryG for sharing!! -
Sometimes my friends give incredible blind samples. Sometimes my friends are the worst. This was mixed in a set of blinds from @thechad Nose: honestly this smells like the bottom of a sweaty gym bag. I’m scared to taste it, but I’ve got to give a review to find out what this is. Palate: vegetal bitterness. As I swirled it around my mouth I was getting hints of black licorice but as soon as I swallowed I shuddered and the unmistakable taste of canned green bean juice hit me. I’ve only gotten this note in one whiskey before and this has got to be pure Kentucky. Finish: regret. 6.9/100

Blind sample from @thechad Nose: sweet honey, mango, detectable alcohol, faint raspberries. Palate: pear juice, apple juice, raw oak Finish: short and sweet combo of mixed nuts and sliced pears. Score 74/100
