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.
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 rather dramatic departure from the Smoky Ten, showing a fairly heavy peat smoke coupled with age and some interesting notes from the marsala influence.
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.
Bernheim Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey 7 Year Old 2020 ReleaseAlways a great whiskey, unlike many over the years they have not changed the age or found a way to cheapen it at a cost to the taste, Was and still is a great whiskey.
Breaking & Entering Bourbon WhiskeyBreaking & Entering Bourbon is a Juvenile Delinquent, with lots of promising showing but a bit of a lightweight
Cobra Whiskey – Thailand Unique“Fear Factor” comes to whiskey tasting!
Crown Royal Maple Finished (Whisky)A heavily maple finished Canadian whisky, new cocktail or breakfast staple for the dissipated ?
Duke Cannon Big American Bourbon SoapDamn fine and manly soap made with real Buffalo Trace Bourbon
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 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!
Elijah Craig Straight RyeGateway rye at best. Great for newbies of rye but too light in character to recommend to anyone else
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 2003 (2013 Release)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)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.
Glen Rose Old Saloon Four Grain Malt Whiskey Barrel 14Another 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 .
Glenrose Spirits Wild Jim’s White Wolf Malt MoonshineNicely done 4 grain white whiskey that is mellow and delightful on its own.
Glenrose Wild Jim’s Old Saloon Four Grain Whiskey Batch/Barrel 1A well done and tasty whiskey made with sincerity, craft, and a good degree of skill.
Habu Pit Viper Rice Whiskey – HabushuSurprisingly pleasant and drinkable, despite having a large, venomous, pit viper in it. We put the geek back into Spirits Geek with 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.
Honeoye Falls Red Saw Rye Batch 1A decent start that showed some hope.
Iron Smoke Apple Wood Smoked WhiskeyAn interesting and dangerously easy to drink young smoked whiskey.
Jim Beam Signature Craft Six Row Barley BourbonInteresting whiskey with malty chocolate overtones to it.
Jim Beam Signature Craft Triticale BourbonA failed experiment in my opinion
