Intriguing on the nose but rather too spiced on the palate for my liking, thankfully not overtly sweet. 82/100
Jim Beam Single Barrel (47.5%, OB, 2020)
Hudson Baby Bourbon (46%, OB, 2020)
Great! Powewrful, polished wood and spices with a lovely sweet backdrop. 87/100
American Eagle 4 Years Old (40%, OB, 2020)
Full bodied and full flavoured, very enjoyable for a 4 year old Bourbon and not overly sweet or corny. 80/100
Bulleit Rye (45%, OB, 2020)
A spiced and sweet Rye whiskey with plenty of nice fruity flavours going on, I kept finding cola, cherry cola and cherry lips sweeties in this one. 83/100
Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon (45%, OB, 2020)
Perhaps a little too woody for me with a hint of dry pencil shavings, otherwise a good balance of sweet and spice. 82/100
1792 Small Batch Bourbon (46.9%, OB, 2020)
Some depth and well-balanced, reveals a little more complexity and not as sweet as some Bourbons. 84/100
Jack Daniels Single Barrel (45%, OB, 2020)
Another select barrel of great quality from Jack Daniels, great balance of sweet and spice, definitely one to savour on its own. 84/100
Eagle Rare 10 Years Old (45%, OB, 2020)
‘Manhattan’ like orange and bitter oak and plenty of woody brown sugar sweetness, oak and honey. 83/100
Michter’s US*1 Bourbon (45.7%, OB, 2020)
Some interesting peach flavour but not a lot going on here that excites me. 80/100
Gentleman Jack (40%, OB, 2020)
A rather polished expression and quite sweet and estery with plenty of banana, a nice touch of liqourice and aniseed adds some depth to the flavour. 81/100
