Kristie Kasper 4.0

2019 Release A rich Bourbon Whiskey by Dave Phinney for The Savage & Cooke distillery in Mare Island, California, made from a mash bill of 75% Corn, 21% Rye, and 4% Malted Barley. It was aged for at least 4 years in new charred American oak barrels, then finished in his Napa Cabernet barrels before being bottled at 44% alcohol by volume. It has a rich start with notes of brown sugar, caramel, butterscotch, and toasty oak; a full middle adds notes of vanilla bean, baking spices, maple, and baked apples; leading to a long and balanced finish. July 2019 / August 2022

Jami Robles 4.3

This is a pretty excellent bourbon. It has a delightful oak and vanilla sweetness, concluding with tart grape from the wine barrel. I truly enjoyed this.

Francis Hoff 4.0

Classic bourbon aroma: caramel. Wine notes are immediately noticeable upon sipping, gradually fading. If I'm in the right mood, it's quite enjoyable.

Barrel #135. Custom barrel selected by a whiskey club and that club. 113 proof.

Tamera Prescott 3.8

Noticeable wine flavors and sweet honey. It makes for dangerously easy consumption.
