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

Floor 1 warehouse I Nose: Heavy and traditional with chard oak Pallet: The flavor does not match the heavy nose, not as strong as expected. Lots of caramel and mellows out towards the back. Finish: For 90 proof there’s a kick of cinnamon at the end. The bottle has been half full for a year so it has had plenty of time to breathe and it has gotten better.

Jim Beam Black Label Extra-Aged
Bourbon — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed May 16, 2021 (edited April 10, 2022)Nose: Light spice Pallet: Can almost get a hint of cinnamon with the char. Nothing stands out other than a good quality bourbon at a great price. Finish: Tart and a touch dry. Like it’s asking for a splash of coke. Trying to finish off some open bottles before summer comes and found this in the back of the cabinet. For $23 how can you go wrong, everything that Jim Beam has, touch more heat but a higher ratio of flavor. Michigan does not sell the 8 year double age but will have to find a bottle.23.0 USD per Bottle -
Nose: Light with hints our malted grain Pallet: vanilla on the front that turns oakey on the rear. Finish: What I would say is a classic Canadian whiskey finish with a hint of heat. This was a store pick from the Wine Palace and they get a couple barrels a year. Will continue to get these when they come in for the nights that I just want something easy to sip on.60.0 USD per BottleWine Palace

The first time I had this a couple years ago I remember not being impressed. Coming back to the bottle lost in the back of the cabinet I find it having excellent flavor. Having a second pour while grilling burgers I find it being flavorful with a dry spice to it. At 100 proof this will sneak up on you as I’m having with an ice ball. Need to have this neat on a different night. May get into a Knob Creek kick.
