Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C924 Review: 129 Proof Bourbon Excellence The finish ties it all together expertly with torched sugar, chocolate mint, and lingering notes of marmalade and chai tea.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Larceny Barrel Proof Batch C924 Review: A 125.1 Proof Wheated Bourbon Gem Pound for pound, there's no better value in barrel-proof wheated bourbon right now.

American Whiskey Reviews Parker's Heritage Collection Malt Whiskey Finished in Heavy Toast Cognac Barrels Review Cognac finishing like this is somewhat unique for an American whiskey, but it really sings with this well-aged malt, delivering a bright, silky aroma of ripe apricot, flamed orange peel, and soft wood smoke alongside the expected roasted and dark tones of the toasted oak.
American Whiskey Reviews Bernheim Barrel Proof Original Wheat Whiskey Batch B924 Review No one is going to be disappointed with this one. It's not quite the flavor bomb from earlier this year, but what it lacks in potency it more than makes up for in approachability.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Elijah Craig Toasted Rye Review Just look at that bottle. Leaning nonchalantly up against the wall of what appears to be a very nice Las Vegas bathroom.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Old Bottled In Bond Bourbon Review (Spring 2024) The aroma is initially a bit gritty and grain-forward, with lots of roasted cereal and creamed corn upfront.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Larceny Barrel Proof Batch B524 Review If any tells you bourbon is too one dimensional, all vanilla and butterscotch, hand them this bottle.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C923 Review The nose on this goes for days ... bitter chocolate, clover honey, oak, mincemeat pie, lavender, dried roses, chamomile, leather jacket and cooked apples.
