Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 21, 2021 (edited July 21, 2021)Opened this bottle when family was in town and I need to sit down and do a proper tasting. I’ve only had this and the 4yr rye, my feeling is Willett has a unique flavor profile that may be suited to the old crowd (as my 70yr father said this was the best he has ever tasted and he knows what he likes). For me the nose was pleasant, smooth and flavorful but the flavor profile was a little more earthy than I would like. Will I get another bottle, yes, 1/3 because my dad likes it, 1/3 because of the bottle and 1/3 because I think you need to find some time with it.65.0 USD per Bottle -

Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Batch Proof 128.3
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 11, 2021 (edited August 15, 2021)Nose: Good nose with some floral notes. Pallet: Mix of sweet notes with a good mouth feel and vaococity. The flavor and heat does linger. Finish: The flavor continues and ends with a spicy heat. Woodford comes on super strong and then let’s up at the last second to make it really enjoyable. Almost to much flavor. Bottle need a little time to breathe in my opinion so I’m looking forward to the second pour in a couple weeks.160.0 USD per BottleTJ's Market -
1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 10, 2021 (edited October 19, 2021)Nose: The nose seamed a little uneasy for what I would expect for a high proof pour and light. Hint of nuts. Pallet: Well rounded but not as complex as say the WF batch proof but close to a 1/3 of the cost and much more available. Hints of caramel that ends in a nice spice. Finish: There’s a diffident heat but not a high proof sting that lesser bourbons would offer. Overall the 1792 is a little unrefined compared to other, however for the price and it’s availability it’s surprisingly well balanced. I can see why some of my serious bourbon friends always have this available and it comes highly recommended. Bottle need a little time to breathe in my opinion so I’m looking forward to the second pour in a few weeks.50.0 USD per Bottle -
Had this as a sample. The nose was the best part and it was fabulous chocolate but overall the flavor profile was just okay. A little odd mixture of chocolate and coffee on the pallet (ratio was off), didn’t sit right but may have been an off night for me. I’m glad that I didn’t go hunting for a bottle as it would have been pricey but glad I got to try it.TJ's Market

Isaac Bowman Straight Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed March 29, 2021 (edited June 3, 2021)The single barrel is very good so when we came across the port finish we had to give it a try. The first sip starts out great but then ends with a sour wine finish. Unfortunately, one bottle is this is all we need.45.0 USD per Bottle -
Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A121
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 21, 2021 (edited June 19, 2021)Nose: I usually don’t say this but, don’t breath in to deep or you might burn your nostrils. There is a good nose but a little to harsh to be pleasant. Pallet: Not as complex as I would have thought with the 115 proof. The overall pallet is smoother than expected with hints of caramel, spice and everything nice. If you like a pour with spice this is for you. Finish: There is a good heat but not to much spice, just get a warm cinnamon. Next time I’ll have to try it with a drop of water to see what else opens up and need to compare this against the Elijah Craig barrel proof. I’m not a huge Larceny fan neat but do enjoy it when a Coke, not ready to do that yet but it might be rather good but would need a acquire another bottle before I tried that.65.0 USD per Bottle
