Château Clos Bourbon

Rowan's Creek Distillery

Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

Rowan’s Creek - vanilla. Smooth. Bartender said it was the master distiller’s favorite Willett because “it tastes like bourbon.” — 10 days ago

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery

Pappy Van Winkle Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year 107 Proof 2024

Brandon's bottle was better than mine. A little heat, a little sweet. Honey, cornbread, cinnamon, tobacco. Tight, clean finish.

Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!

Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.

With you on that

W. L. Weller

Aged 12 Years The Original Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

For some reason, this smells like peaches 😅 Actually, dark cherry, candied nuts, and cigar box on the nose. Flavors of apricot, honey, cinnamon candies, and pleasant oak. At 90 proof it's an easy summer sipper.
Listening to Chris Isaac (my neighbor is playing her music loud) Not complaining.

Nice pull. I don’t recall mine having a black label.

Ah it's the back label on the bottle. The front is embossed white lettering 😊 @Norman Gennaro

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery

Pappy Van Winkle's 15 Years Old Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2024

Soft flex for Norman. This bottle of 15-year was not up to par, unfortunately. It lacked complexity and a lot of the typical flavor profile elements. It tasted hotter than usual, and there was a fair amount of peat, which is not right. Still, it beats Jim Beam.

The bottle was new to me. I guess my friend had the neck pour earlier this year, so I don't know. I know what you're saying, though. It's also said that the lower a bottle gets, the faster the clock is ticking. I've got a few low bottles that need to be polished off. Come on over!
