Peerless High Rye Bourbon

The nose opens up with sweet oak, maple syrup and some sort of muffin that I can’t seem to pinpoint…
K. Luke Blended Bourbon Batch 7
Score: 91 Points
The nose opens with oak and baking spices, more specifically cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate definitely drinks its proof. Drinks hot at first and then leans more into a Big Red Gum cinnamon…
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C923
Score: 95 Points
The nose is hot. I decided to let this open up for a few more minutes. After that I got sweet oak, vanilla, black pepper and spice. I then got a few floral notes with some honey in there as well…

JTS Brown Bottled in Bond

Russell’s Reserve 10 Year
Score: 91 Points
The nose opens up with that traditional Wild Turkey spicy vanilla. I always seem to get that rye spice note on Wild Turkey products. With that spice, it is warming but still remains approachable…
