Some depth and well-balanced, reveals a little more complexity and not as sweet as some Bourbons. 84/100
1792 Small Batch Bourbon
Jack Daniels Single Barrel
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
‘Manhattan’ like orange and bitter oak and plenty of woody brown sugar sweetness, oak and honey. 83/100
Michter’s US*1 Bourbon
Some interesting peach flavour but not a lot going on here that excites me. 80/100
Gentleman Jack
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
Basil Haydens Bourbon
A relaxed and easy drinking bourbon, soft and sugary and full of vanillic oak wood. 80/100
Tennessee Rye Whisky 4 Year Old Batch 3
Quite light on the nose with a little more punch and plenty of spices on the palate, overall quite pleasant. 80/100
Whistlepig 10 Years Old Straight Rye (50%, OB, 2020)
A heady spiced and sweet rye with some lovely butterscotch undertones. 84/100
Old Ezra 7 Years Old
A flavour journey rather than destination, plenty of spice and heat but also packed full of vanilla and nutty oak. Superb as it comes but takes a drop of water well if you like it a little calmer. 85/100
Ezra Brooks Straight Rye Whiskey
Approachable rye whisky, touches of spice and earth from the Rye grains but plenty of sweet vanilla and oak wood influence too, quite enjoyable. 84/100
