Ambassador Bourbon Barrel Proof 12 Years OldA truly excellent whiskey bottled at the right time for its high points on aging and taste profile rather than waiting for an arbitrary older age to command more money at the price of quality.
Breaking & Entering Bourbon WhiskeyBreaking & Entering Bourbon is a Juvenile Delinquent, with lots of promising showing but a bit of a lightweight
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 127 Proof Batch B517Damn fine Bourbon and Favorite of the Elijah Barrel Proof releases so far!
Another Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Release. A bit lighter than some of the others but still good
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 136.6 Batch A 120Another release of a full and robust Barrel Proof Elijah Craig to enjoy and add to your whiskey archive!
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A123 125.6 ProofWell done blending for the first expression for 2023! Reccomended.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch B522 121 ProofAlways a good solid bourbon. This batch seems a touch heavier on the nose in a nice way and delivers a full-bodied hearty bourbon at a modest price
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C922 124.8 Proof Fall 2022Have to say not a fan of this release. I used to think I generally liked the September releases better in any given year, but this one seems to be a bit out of balance to me
Decent release and worth getting if you can find it.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch No. B 521 118.2 ProofWell done slightly more approachable off the shelf than some of the other releases and a good buy for the money.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch No. C 921 120.2 ProofHighly recommend this particular release as the pick of the litter for this year! Less oak and char notes and a touch sweeter.
Grab it if you can!
One of the drier expressions of the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Series
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C 920 132.2 ProofFavorite release of this Elijah Craig Barrel Proof series in a few years!
Much better IMHO than a number of the releases especially lately.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Lot A122 120.8 ProofA 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
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel BourbonInteresting , but somewhat , shall we say simpler, (not to use the dirty word-light) expression of an Elijah Craig bourbon. Buy to compare to their other expressions and maybe use to break the newbies in.
Evan Williams 1783 Small BatchOne of the cheapest drinkable bourbons around . Usually can be found for $20 or so which is a steal these days for anything in a glass bottle and halfway decent.
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2002While decent, this Vintage 2002 is very light in the taste and finish department. Not one of our favorite vintages.
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2004 (2014 Release)Much heavier in all departments than former releases. Could almost believe it was a Scotch…
Five Brothers Kentucky Straight Bourbon WhiskeyPay more, get less, but collectible I guess? If you want to collect them all or want to show off a limited availability bottle go ahead, otherwise pass on this one.
A stunning achievement in both whiskey distilling and aging. While Parker Beam did not live to see this whiskey bottled I am sure he would be proud of it.
Heaven Hill Bottled In Bond 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon WhiskeyI’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.
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.
Jim Beam Signature Craft Six Row Barley BourbonInteresting whiskey with malty chocolate overtones to it.
A touch more oily or buttery than the last few releases with pronounced Spanish cedar and oak notes to it.
Larceny Barrel Proof Batch A120 123.2 ProofNot only do you get the extra proof but a lot of subtle aging characteristics and aromas that would have been lost in the proofing down process! Worth the extra money for the extra proof and all the goodness that comes with it!
Larceny Barrel Proof Batch A121 114.8 ProofOne of the best buys in bourbon right now. Yes, it is a relatively mass-produced whiskey, but it is a nicely done barrel-proof release of good bourbon to start with and the price/value ratio is a lot higher than a lot of newer craft whiskies that frankly are not as good – especially for the money.
An altogether much drier version than the A120 Release.
Well done release with lots of flavor. If you like the Larceny Barrel Proof series this is one one the better ones recently.
Frankly not as big a fan of this release compared to those in the past.
A nice somewhat incremental improvement over the last batch with a bit more dark fruit flavors than the last batch. Nicely Done !
