Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Lot A122
Type: Barrel Proof A nice return to an old school bourbon style. This release is much closer to what bourbon used to be and it is nice to see Elijah Craig return to its roots
Rye Reviews
Type: Barrel Proof
Elijah Craig Straight Rye
Type: Rye Gateway rye at best. Great for newbies of rye but too light in character to recommend to anyone else
Elmer T. Lee Bourbon
Type: Single Barrel One of the best bourbon deals out there for quality versus price.
Empire Rye Vodka
Type: American, Rye Think of this as the Kyoto cold drip of vodka
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2000
Type: Single Barrel Highly recommend this as a great bourbon and a great value for the money
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2002
While decent, this Vintage 2002 is very light in the taste and finish department. Not one of our favorite vintages.
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2003 (2013 Release)
Type: Single Barrel Drier and woodier than previous vintages, giving you a rich oakiness similar to a much older bourbon without the cost.
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2004 (2014 Release)
Type: Single Barrel, Vintage Much heavier in all departments than former releases. Could almost believe it was a Scotch…
Gentleman Jack
Type: Sour Mash, Straight A more complex and fruitier Jack that is a bit more plush.
George Dickel Barrel Select
Type: Small Batch, Sour Mash, Straight A very civilized Tennessee Whisk(e)y of wonderful complexity. Highly recommended!
George Dickel No. 12
Type: Sour Mash, Straight This whisky also uses a higher proportion of corn than most bourbon, proprietary yeast strains and single story warehouses -all of which contribute to the uniqueness of the whisky.
George Dickel No.1 Foundation Recipe
Type: American White Whiskey See and taste how the it all begins at George Dickel – at ⅓ the price of the Jack Daniels equivalent white whiskey.
George Dickel Old No. 8
Type: Sour Mash, Straight Cheaper and better than Jack.
George Dickel Special Barrel Reserve
Type: Sour Mash, Straight The other Tennessee Whisk(e)y – much older, more muscular and flavorful than the other Tennessee Whisk(e)y .
George T. Stagg 2004
Type: Small Batch Next time I break my leg skydiving or BASE jumping I want this instead of morphine.
George T. Stagg 2005
Type: Small Batch Subtlety different from the 2004, but still wonderful
George T. Stagg 2006 Release
Type: Small Batch Somewhat fruitier on the nose and has a lot more rye punch and oak than last years version (2005)
George T. Stagg 2011 Release
Type: Small Batch The 2011 release is somewhat less fruitier on the noise and is generally a bit lighter in character despite one of the higher barrel proofs in a while.
Glen Rose Old Saloon Four Grain Malt Whiskey Barrel # 11
Type: Four Grain Whiskey, New York State, Non-chill filtered A very nicely done Four Grain Whiskey especially for a whiskey so young and from such a small barrel. A real standout !
Glenrose Wild Jim’s Old Saloon Four Grain Whiskey Batch/Barrel 1
Type: American Whisky A well done and tasty whiskey made with sincerity, craft, and a good degree of skill.
Grist & Saw Empire Rye
Type: Empire Rye A very solid New York State Empire Rye at a decent price- unlike a number of the others
Hancock President’s Reserve
Type: Single Barrel A bit pricey for what it is.
Heaven Hill Bottled In Bond 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Type: Bottled in Bond, Straight I’m pretty sure if Parker Beam was still alive he would drink this – it’s that good.
Delicious, complex and smooth everything you might want for a great price.
Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 1st Edition
Type: Barrel ProofDecent 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.
Honeoye Falls Distilling That Old Devils Bathtub Barrel Rested Gin
Type: Barrel Aged Gin A gin spice bomb with interesting interplay between the wood from barrel aging and their usual citrus forward gin profile veering it more towards a spicy melange.
Honeoye Falls Red Saw Rye Batch 1
Type: American Grain A decent start that showed some hope.
Iron Smoke Apple Wood Smoked Whiskey
An interesting and dangerously easy to drink young smoked whiskey.
Jack Daniel’s Old No.7
Type: Sour Mash, Straight The Microsoft of Tennessee Whisk(e)y Rough around the edges and fairly straightforward if you like that kind of thing.
Jack Daniel’s Original Recipe Tennessee Honey
Type: Grain Base, Honey Base A possibly interesting mixer but NOT a sipper.
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel
Type: Single Barrel, Sour Mash This is the cream of Jack Daniels Whiskies – twice the money of their regular but worth it if you like Jack and sip it.
