Kaye Waugh 3.5

Batch no.16: 118.5 proof The nose is understated for a bourbon with that much character. Oak is the most prominent scent. That oak carries through consistently. Pleasantly warm as expected from cask strength. Subtle vanilla and tobacco notes emerge toward the end.

Peyton Boston 3.8

Batch 4. Minimum 2 years aging stated. Very enthusiastic about this one. A few more years in the barrel and this will be excellent. Similar profile to 1792.

Cohen Hamel 4.0

Smells like barbecue pork. Nice on the palate, not as hot as you'd expect for 59.6%. Very nice finish. I like it.

Abby Bernal 4.3

Outstanding value for the price!! A sweet, flavorful taste bud explosion 💥. I cannot praise it enough.

Antonia Galarza 3.3

Bourbon with a high corn content. It's good, but some of the store selections are outstanding.

Virginia Saunders 3.3

Smooth with an oaky finish. The aroma is primarily alcohol. It has a pleasant warmth.
