Type: Kentucky Style, Straight Rye Decent starter rye but pricey compared to others.
Decent starter rye but pricey compared to others.
One of the more floral and fruity single malts even among Speyside Drams, that I have had in a long time and a great bargain too!
Another Benriaxh Single Malt this on with more rum barrel influence and peat added to the mix.
Still a great buy at the price point and a bit more traditional ( read somewhat peaty)
A delicate variation/iteration from its sibling the Original Ten with an interesting, subdued yet flavourful melange. Also, Damn cheap compared on both age and quality in the Scotch arena.
An excellent and refreshing option to Bourbon,Rye, or a Single Malt Whiskey. A bit lighter than rye, drier than bourbon and more spare than most single malt whiskies it is an interesting fourth path in your whiskey journey. Needs some tweaking but overall a promising whiskey. Will be interesting if they come out with an older version?
Bulleit 95 RyeA very good rye if not as complex as I would personally like. If you like them a bit shallow and uncomplicated this one is for you.
Singular, a touch exotic, and lovely- just the way we like them .
Dewar’s Highlander HoneyKind of a hot, artificial, mess
Glen Rose Old Saloon Four Grain Malt Whiskey Barrel # 11A very nicely done Four Grain Whiskey especially for a whiskey so young and from such a small barrel. A real standout !
Another notable addition or should I say another addition to the succession of barrel releases of their Four Grain Malt Whiskey.
Even though it is far younger it is very reminiscent of a good Lowland Scotch and other fine malt whiskies .
Nicely done 4 grain white whiskey that is mellow and delightful on its own.
Hancock President’s ReserveA bit pricey for what it is.
Decent if not spectacular. More of an investment than a drinking bottle for the low-life bottom feeders that engage in such a trade as it will no doubt be a limited edition and much sought-after bottle. Yes, I think a Heaven Hill aficionado would enjoy it quite a bit and it is worth trying if you can, but maybe not buying an entire bottle as it is pricey for what it is. Leave it to the speculators and shallow egotists and buy some of their more modestly priced releases for enjoyment.
House Spirits White Dog Barley MashTrust the crew from House Spirits (in the land of the serious foodies ) to come up with something completely different.
Hudson Single Malt WhiskeyThe grain is 100% malted barley -The whiskey is put in fresh charred oak barrels of various sizes 3 gallon to 14 gallons being used with whiskey from smaller barrels aged less than the larger barrels.
Jack Daniel’s Original Recipe Tennessee HoneyA possibly interesting mixer but NOT a sipper.
Jack Daniels Unaged Tennessee RyeBest unaged rye whiskey we have ever had !
Jim Beam Signature Craft Premium Bourbon finished with Rare Spanish BrandyA very interesting bourbon flavored with brandy. Well worth a try.
Lantern Light “Rye” MoonshineAn excellent rye white whiskey, and a great Samogon type spirit also for those of you looking for a lot more flavor in a white spirits that is not corn based.
The September 2023 release of Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon . While not a particular favorite, a solid wheated whiskey.
O’Begley Old Kilfoutan WhiskeyA full but gentle Irish whiskey-type malt whiskey with a full-grain palate.
O’Begley Poitin (Irish Style Unaged Whiskey)An interesting, well made Poitin style whiskey made here in America.
A bit overdone in the char department for me. Not a fan.
An outstanding Malt Whiskey created in collaboration with Master Distiller and Blender Alain Royer of Frapin Cognac.
One of my personal favorite spirits of the past year.
Parkers Heritage Collection Release Number 9 WhiskeyInteresting and well made, but not to my personal taste.
Parkers Heritage Number 8 Kentucky Straight Wheat WhiskeyMuch like your favorite old uncle very interesting , charming, and a touch of eccentric in many interesting ways but not so odd that you avoid them but rather seek out their company.
Red Breast Single Pot Still 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey With Limited Edition Bird FeederOutstanding whiskey for the price – Especially for anything close to this quality. Good luck finding a bourbon or a Scotch or this age and complexity for the money.
Red Saw Bourbon Batch No. 1 ( A.K.A. The Pilot Batch )A lean, dry as dust whiskey not without its charms. Not your average young bourbon.
Redemption High-Rye BourbonFor those who like it spicy, sweet, and slightly rough.
Redemption RyeA good solid rye whiskey that is an outstanding value for the money – not to mention the quality low cost option.
