Lighter than I had hoped on the nose and palate but very pleasant, comes into it’s own later with some deeper and darker wood-derived flavours. 82/100
Ezra Brooks 99 Bourbon
Yellowstone Select Bourbon
Great nose and palate, not overly complex but enough wood and spice present to balance out the natural sweetness thanks to the rye inclusion. An accomplished entry-level bourbon.
Jim Beam Single Barrel
Intriguing on the nose but rather too spiced on the palate for my liking, thankfully not overtly sweet. 82/100
Hudson Baby Bourbon
Great! Powewrful, polished wood and spices with a lovely sweet backdrop. 87/100
American Eagle 4 Years Old
Full bodied and full flavoured, very enjoyable for a 4 year old Bourbon and not overly sweet or corny. 80/100
Bulleit Rye
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
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
Some depth and well-balanced, reveals a little more complexity and not as sweet as some Bourbons. 84/100
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
