Barrell Bourbon Ice Wine Cask Finished Bourbon Review
If Grace Kelly could come back as an elegant whiskey, this would be it. If you could liquify gold and consume it, this is how it should taste. It’s 14 karat color backs my strained metaphor.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews
Bomberger’s Declaration Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
The nose is a simple pleasure and delicate in every respect: nicely floral and tropical fruity, a little honeyed, a splash of rosewater and candied violets.
Doc Holliday 7-Year Bourbon Review: Cask Strength, Bold Flavor
In the crowded world of single-barrel, cask-strength bourbons distilled in Indiana, this one is notable for its complexity and depth of flavor.
Cream of Kentucky Cask Strength Bourbon Review: Is It Worth $95?
It finishes warm and hangs around a long time. Judging by its light color and lean mouthfeel, it’s about 5 years old, which would explain its lack of complexity.
Bardstown Bourbon High Wheat Review – Rich, Soft, and Complex at 106 Proof
The nose starts off nutty (think cracked, toasted wheat) before a whiff of orange marmalade arrives. Caramel and campfire balance each other before sweet corn, golden raisin and honey join the party.
Woodinville 8-year Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
This is a dense bourbon, and deep, dark oak tones dominate and before cooked stone fruit, dried figs and baking spices roll across the palate, sweetening the whole.
Old Forester 2024 Birthday Bourbon Review
On the nose, there is every classic Old Forester aroma: a little acetone and banana, citrus peel and deeply charred oak. Juicy Fruit Gum is all over this, as are surprises like a chocolate-coated cream-filled donut, candy bar (nougat and milk chocolate), nutmeg and cocoa powder.
Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged Bourbon 2024 Release Review
This bourbon just never runs out of gas. Every sip is a revelation, a new view into a complex whiskey providing countless vistas.
Bulleit Barrel Strength Bourbon Review
Loads of baking spice, blackberries and cooked stone fruit cruise in on a wave of honey and an undercurrent of oak. It’s sturdy but not fire-breathing hot as the nose suggested it would be.
Mary Dowling Tequila Barrel Finished Bourbon Review
This feather-light whiskey is a malt drinker’s bourbon, which, based on conversations I’ve had with Zamanian, who is a Scotch lover, may well be what he was after.
