Maker's Mark 46 Cask Strength
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 19, 2021 (edited September 24, 2021)Nose: There is a woof of proof that finishes with vanilla and mature oak. Pallet: The oak and char covers the tongue at first, then a tingle and the dryness of the 46 seared staves. Finish: Flavor forwardness carries through and ends with spice notes that pleasantly linger. Perfect to enjoy after the pour has had a chance to breath and open up. I’m a big fan of the Makers Mark Cask Strength, if you’re looking for something with a step up in flavor and spice then this fits the bill.60.0 USD per Bottle -
The coffee profile mellows/smooths out the rum flavor (which there is almost non) and make this a great after dinner drink while the sun is going down. There is not a lot of complexity that I’m getting tonight except for the forwardness of the coffee and chocolate. I’m enjoying with a large cube and put just a splash of regular Kraken to mellow the sweetness. I’m enjoying this.

Clase Azul Tequila Reposado
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed July 3, 2021 (edited September 9, 2022)I don’t typically drink a lot of tequila neat but if you get the opportunity this is excellent. The flavor was unreal and very floral. Pour a glass, sit back and enjoy. Will have to pickup a bottle. -
Russell's Reserve 10 Year Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 22, 2021 (edited July 8, 2021)Excellent 90 proof pour with a heavy dose of cinnamon and oak in this one. Nice spice on the finish. -
Kirkland Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon by Barton 1792
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 19, 2021 (edited January 26, 2022)Nose: Good sweet notes on the nose Pallet: Oak, vanilla and caramel on the center of my tongue and a little rawness on the outer edges Finish: There a slight tingle on the finish. Kirkland outdid themselves in this on this release. Looking forward to the BIB and single barrel. For the price and quantity they are going to be able to sell can they keep the same quality?30.0 USD per BottleTJ's Market -
Woodinville Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Washington, USA
Reviewed June 17, 2021 (edited September 4, 2021)Tone of flavor for 90 proof, a little biter but with an ice ball it can be truly enjoyed. It takes a long pour to give your time to enjoy it. -
Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum
Aged Rum — Barbados
Reviewed June 11, 2021 (edited September 9, 2022)Nose: 80 proof bourbon strong with hints of light sweet brown sugar. Pallet: Raw flavors of vanilla and caramel which is likely molasses. Finish: The pallet follows through with a dryness. The only issue with the dryness is you want another sip! This is differently more of a premium rum and is made to be enjoyed neat or with a cube. You can tell that this has been aged for years. Moving into the summer season and your looking to move from bourbon to something a little more sweet this is what you need. The longer this breathes the more flavor it gets. Another excellent recommendation is the Plantation Pineapple Run (makes excellent summer cocktails). -
Nose: Sweet like simple syrup Pallet: There’s a tropical spice with sweet banana undertones. Leaves your pallet dry. Finish: Initial traditional run flavor and heat. I’m not a traditional run drinker but this is pretty good for being on the sweet side. I’ll have to pick up a couple more premium sipping bottles to compare them. This is going to be an enjoyable sipper during the summer.50.0 USD per BottleTJ's Market
