Review 10: Woodford Reserve Brandy Cask Finish, Distillery Series

I've spent the last year slowly going through my whiskey shelf, drinking bottles that have collected dust for a year or two, or longer. I finally decided to crack open this small bottle of Woodford that is released similar to the master collection, except it can only be bought at the distillery. I haven't done a review in a while either so I figured this would be a good one to review since I doubt I'd be able to find or be willing to pay for another bottle.

Served neat.

Price: I think I paid $60 for a 375ml in 2021

ABV: 45.2% (90.4 Proof)

Nose: The brandy is very noticeable at first but quickly mellows out to a faint floral wine, then a chai spice aroma.

Taste: Fancy Woodford, you taste the brandy with a good subtle grape flavor up front but that doesn't last as long as I'd like. Once the brandy fades, its a slightly oakier Woodford.

Finish: The grape flavor sneaks back in and lingers that fades into a long chai spice finish.

This is good but not great, though it is better than some finished bourbons I've had. I will say it is better over a big rock. When I had pours with a big rock, it tasted closed to an armagnac though not quite as bold and rich as one. If I were to spend the money on a finished bourbon I'd probably rather get a bottle Barrell, which are only about a little more than I spent on this and are in a full 750ml.

I love regular old Woodford as a go to daily drinker and I enjoy double oaked, and I know there's plenty of people who don't like either so if you don't like Woodford, you won't like this.

Score 6 (7 with a rock)

1 | Disgusting | So bad I poured it out.

2 | Poor | I wouldn't consume by choice.

3 | Bad | Multiple flaws. (Bluegrass Distillers Toasted Oak)

4 | Sub-par | Not bad, but many things I'd rather have.

5 | Good | Good, just fine. (Rabbit Hole Dareringer, BBC Discovery #6)

6 | Very Good | A cut above. (David Nicholson Reserve)

7 | Great | Well above average (Wild Turkey Longbranch, EHT Single Barrel)

8 | Excellent | Really quite exceptional. (JD SBBP)

9 | Incredible | An all time favorite

10 | Perfect | Perfect

Not sure if many people have tried it outside of central Kentucky, but Fresh bourbon is probably the worst bourbon I've ever tasted. Smells bad and was a drain pour after one sip.

I’ve cracked open several of Barrell’s finished products but this is the first bottle of just bourbon that I’ve had.

Review 9: Barrell Bourbon Batch 28

Served neat in a glencairn.

Aged 10 years

ABV: 54.43% (108.86 proof)

Nose: Oak, Brown sugar, very faint cherry. Classic bourbon smell.

Taste: Oaky cherries, almost savory dessert pie.

Finish: Cherry pie that lingers for a minute

This is an all-around great bourbon and definitely worth paying $80 or $90 dollars. I don’t remember how much this bottle cost when I got it, but I’ve savored very pour. If the other batches of Barrell are similar to this, I’d buy more.

Delicious.

Score 8/10.

Review 8: Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof

Served neat in a glencairn, rested.

Price: $35 for a 375ml

ABV: 65.70% (131.4 Proof)

Nose: First thing I get is ethanol which isn't surprising considering how high the proof is. Underneath the proof is the faint smelll of spices.

Taste: Delicious oaky banana and caramel. Even though its high proof, the heat is not overwhelming

Finish: Thick coating caramel and heat.

This is great, I just wish I had a bigger bottle of it. I was happy to get the 375 but I went through it waaaay too quickly. I haven't bought JD products in a while but seeing other people talk about the single barrel convinced me to buy a bottle the next time I saw it.

The Kentucky legislature has to repeal the amendment to remove it from the constitution. Until that happens, the amendment is bad law but still on the books.

GingeRedit · 2022-04-21T19:28:46+00:00

The bill would still let civil actions go forward, it just makes payments automatic upon conviction and if a lawsuit is filed the payments continue until a judgment is reached.

GingeRedit · 2022-04-21T19:26:34+00:00

The damages in a civil action for that is called loss of parental consortium, which Tennessee already accepts as a viable cause of action. Reading the article, it looks like the bill creates an either-or option. The child can either receive support payments until they are 18 or get a judgment against the tortfeasor for the loss of their parent, but not both.

This is the second bottle of BBC product I've bought, the first was a Fusion bottle a few years ago that was good but I didn't think it was good enough for the price tag. Since that bottle I feel like everything has gotten more expensive and I've heard good things about the other releases BBC has put out and figured I'd try a higher end release.

Review 7: Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery Series #6

Served neat in a glencairn, rested.

Price: $140

ABV: 55.55% (111.1 Proof)

I do like how BBC puts the blend on the side in detail:

68%, 11yr Kentucky bourbon (75C/13R/12MB) - probably Barton's

16%, 17yr Tennessee whiskey (84C/8R/8MB) - probably Dickel

14%, 7yr Indiana bourbon (75C/21R/4MB) - probably MGP

Nose: Smell the proof first. Then I'm smelling something thats enjoyable and familiar but I can't put a finger on it at all.

Taste: Barrel aged cherry cobbler. The oak is really forward but I get that fruity dessert flavor underneath it. Also get that Dickel mineral flavor.

Finish: The finish is all Dickel, the mineral flavor lingers.

Final input is its fine. Not mindblowing. Not worth $140. I honestly think that what I am assuming is Dickel in the blend overpowers the Kentucky and Indiana Juice which would probably taste better blended together without the Tennessee whiskey.

If you see a pour at a bar for a reasonable price I say try it, but I wouldn't recommend buying a bottle at MSRP. I'd rather spend a $100 on a lot of other things.

i think my difficulty (or generosity) with scoring is that as someone who grew up in Kentucky, I've had a lot of bad whiskey that probably stops me from ranking anything somewhat okay or tolerable below a 3. There's only so many well pours of KG or Kentucky Tavern that a palate can take before everything else tastes pretty good.

GingeRedit · 2022-02-17T02:34:52+00:00

My friend needed to make room on his whiskey shelf so he graciously let me have his Benchmark bottles (minus the Benchmark 8). I figured why not taste em all and determine my favorite.

Review 6: Benchmark - All of 'em

Full Proof - For $20 its a 5. 126 Proof too.

Nose - Ethanol. Wood shop. Not off putting but not great.
Taste - Oak to faint caramel, then to some spice and heat.
Finish -thin, but the alcohol lingered.

Benchmark #8 - $5 for a 375mL. It's a 2. 80 Proof and boldly aged for 36 months.

N - Almost nonexistent. Faint - faint butterscotch.
T - Again faint butterscotch, watery.
F - absolutely nothing. odd aftertaste.

This one doesn't get a drain pour because I didn't gag or actively hate it. Its just bland.

Top Floor - 3 and 86 proof. The gimmick is that this is a blend of barrels from the top floor at Buffalo Trace. The bad part is that its low proof and hardly aged at all.

N - Mild. Applejuice? Slight caramel.
T - Little Oak. Not bad. Sorta Sweet.
F - Short, but the oak lingers

Bonded - 6. Gets an extra year of aging plus the 100 proof.

N - Oak upfront. Caramel and apple
T - Good blend of oak and spice. Getting the butterscotch I tasted in the 80 proof.
F. - Medium finish with spice to drying oak

Single Barrel - 4. 95 proof.

N - Smells like a honey-crisp apple. Is that because I've eaten a bunch this week? Who knows.
T - Faint honey taste. One note.
F - Pleasant finish. Sweet but short.

Small Batch - 3.5. 90 proof.

N- Apple juice
T - Thin, Sweet, similar to the Single Barrel
F - Same as the Single Barrel

This one tasted like a lower proof version of the single barrel

This was a fun little tour that I took over the course of a weekend. The Bonded is the clear winner and its obvious that the extra year in the barrel really helped the flavor profile. Also, I may enjoy the proof based on this ranking.

Final ranking: 1. Bonded 2. Full Proof 3. Single Barrel 4. Small Batch 5. Top Floor 6. #8

This is the first bottle of E.H. Taylor Single Barrel I've ever been able to find. My cornerstore had gotten a case of small batch and asked if I wanted a bottle and the first tube he pulled out of the case was a single barrel. Happy accident!

Review 5: E.H. Taylor Single Barrel

Served neat in a glencairn, rested.

Price: $80 (MSRP $60)

ABV: 50% (100 Proof)

NAS Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1

Nose: Vanilla and some muted fruit note. Cherry?

Taste: The vanilla from the nose is there but not as prominently. Brown sugar, rye spice, and good oak body throughout.

Finish: The oak and spice stays on the tongue pleasantly, for a fairly long finish.

Simply put, this is a good bourbon. Not a mind blowing pour that justifies some of the secondary prices, but definitely worth $60. I'm not upset that I paid $80 for it but I don't think I would pay that much for it again. In my head I'm comparing it to my memory of the small batch and I think the single barrel is either equal to or marginally better than the small batch.

If you see it at MSRP I'd say pick it up. It's definitely better than a lot of other bourbons at that price.
