Perfumed roses and orange essence, almond butter, sugar cookie, vanilla wafer, maraschino cherry juice. On the palate even more lifted fruit notes with birthday cake, and a lashing of sweet oak. Some leather spice emerging on the finish. Give us 100 proof Basil at 10years PLEASE!

I’m always floored when Buff Trace single barrels stay on the shelf for longer than 5 minutes. Hands down at 8yrs old, 90 proof, and under $30 this is the BEST value in bourbon. This particular bottling is a single barrel from Warehouse O, floor three. The nose is a butterscotch lovers dream. Straight up Werther’s OG with some orchard fruit and fresh cut oak thrown in as well. On the palate more soft vanilla, more butterscotch, and a touch of toffee. This is perfect NEAT bourbon with a very soft and elegant profile.

Pretty much the baseline for all premium bourbon that’s every been made. 6-8yrs old, realtively higher rye content and bottled at the magical 101 proof. Wild Turkey starts with candy corn on the nose, fresh oak, and cinnamon. On the palate, a creamy mouthfeel exudes baking spice followed by more corn sweetness. Big and rich but also balanced and nuanced. Hardly any other can rival this perfect shelf whiskey. One of the best!

Bourbon candy on the nose and the palate. Herbs emergring, and woods, with leather, orange, and mint. 120 proof so it’s a beast, but tameable, and ultimately very drinkable. Look for the Big Red Barrel #7849809

Warehouse 1, Floor 6, this hotbox of a barrel pick delivers extensive spice notes with leather and fresh cut oak on the nose, along with red fruit, licorice, and mint. On the palate, spice and leather dominate. Drinks BIG and finishes with more anise and touches of candied orange peel. Did this in an Old Fashioned and it was perfect!

Figs, coffee beans, milk chocolate, freshly baked banana bread on the nose. On the palate, rich dark spice. Butterscotch, more fig, plum, and dark fruits. Walnut, hazelnut, and sugar cream pie. Bottled at 108.9 proof. Balanaced, but VERY DARK in the best way. Stave profile: 7 Roasted French Mendiant, + 3 Seared French Cuvee

Warehouse M, Floor 5, Barrel #100 – nose presents licorice, candy corn, and big spice. The palate is an extreme concentration of cinnamon, apple peel, burley tobacco barn, and Wilson’s leather shop.

Five different whiskies, three mashbills, and a finshing barrel, this is a total KTICHEN SINK blend bottled at 102 proof that manages to fire on all delicious cylinders. Light and fruity nose with tropical pineapple and some pear juice as well as spice. On the palate a total fruit bomb with cherry, banana, lemon, and melon with with a LOOONNNGG spicy finish that manages to come back to sweetness on the end. Balanced, drinkable, with massive flavor. What else could you ask for?

Caramel, leather, fresh cut oak. Soft entry with fruit up fron, then massive oak bomb on the finish. Pushing the boundaries of age for a wheated bourbon but the softest oak bomb you’ll ever taste.

Nine years old,100 proof, around $35, it’s hard to understand why Knob Creek bourbon isn’t bought by the truckload, since every other super premium of this caliber has gone allocated, completely dropped its age statement or DOUBLED in price. The nose is sweet corn, mint, and chocolate orange. Extremely pleasant and elegant. The palate is a cinnamon spice, orange vanilla cream, oak inflected dream. Perfect to sip neat, but also decent with a cube. PURE BOURBON PLEASURE
