Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon Whiskey

WILLIAM 9/29/23

An under-rated over looked Bourbon

Wild Turkey 101 is as good as its always been. Overlooked and past bye for newer and fancier names. Wild Turkey 101 is a main stay for every bar. Easy daily drinker for beginners and vetrens alike. Neat, on the rocks or in your favorite cocktails you will never go wrong with WT101. Save some money and pick one up today. You won't be sorry. ☆☆☆☆☆

Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I’m writing a review about Caskers.. love this site. Never let me down looking for a bottle of something I can’t find in store.

Sangre De Vida Corazón Blanco Tequila

Yola Yo NC 9/28/23

The bottle alone is worth the price! A super dope bottle indeed!! Smells a bit like peat moss and agave (quite earthy) when you open the bottle. The taste is alcohol forward and provides a smooth sweet-heat party in your mouth, full of spicy cracked peppercorns, agave with a kiss of lime citrus. Did I already say "Totally cool bottle!" Salu

Ciroc White Grape Vodka

My Favorite One 9/28/23

There are many flavors that I enjoy, but this one by far the best one in my opinion.

I love Ciroc, but White Grape is the best!

Old Overholt Rye Whiskey

Head and shoulders above comparably priced Ryes

Good nose. Very good on palate. Rich for the price. Clean finish. Easy drinking neat.

The Famous Grouse Winter Reserve Scotch Whisky

Sweet nose with a bit of alcohol. Mild sweet creamy flavor touch of heat on the finish. Easy sipper. All ready put another bottle in my basket. Will be trying the other Famous Grouse offerings.

Sipsmith London Dry Gin

Classic taste. Similar to Tanqueray taste but stronger. First tasted it in UK. Caskers may be one of the few sources in US.

Tincup Fourteener 14 Year Bourbon Whiskey

A good late night sipper

I chose this 14yr Tin Cup to celebrate an annual event. The packaging is unique and is in line with a celebration. The whiskey is good, but I feel they used too much Rocky Mountain water to cut it. At 42% it is on the lower end of the scale for me as I like a hotter drink. That being said, it was right in line with what was necessary as we were dehydrated and tired at 2 a.m. when we were sitting down to taste the two whiskeys we brought. Having the lower proof and being smooth to drink so late at night was a nice (though not normal for me) touch. I would/may buy again at the price I paid, It was sixty-eight doll hairs.

Smoke Wagon Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

Absolutely excellent smooth bourbon! Tried it from a friend and will continue to keep in the cabinet. My go to from now on

Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition Scotch Whisky

A sweet front with a nice spicy finish.

J.P. Wiser's 18 Year Old Canadian Whisky

Smoothest Canadian whisky I have drunk
Excellent.

Tres Generaciones Plata Tequila

Great sipping tequila

My favorite tequila. I've tried a lot of tequilas and this one is my personal favorite. Theres just nothing not to like about it. On ice, very smooth and easy to drink with just a bit of spice/pepper taste. Similar to Casimigos but more flavor to me, a bit less bite than Don Julio.

Ararat Akhtamar 10 Year Old Brandy

Ararat is produced by the Yerevan Brandy Company in Armenia, and wine for producing Armenian brandy is prepared exclusively from special grape varieties grown in the Republic of Armenia. Dark fruit and plum greets the nose. As it opens, subtle vanilla and nut appears. A most inviting nose, and the fruit is just lovely!! It is medium-full bodied in the mouth, and the palate starts fruity sweet, and really coats the mouth, but finishes long and dry with more spice than I was expecting, in a lengthy and lingering finish!!

Meili Vodka

Meile is now my favorite choice for vodka. It has a very clean taste and is very smooth. Has been a perfect match for my Bloody Mary's and Cranberry Seabreeze drinks.

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva Rum

Diplomático is all I drink

This particular bottle is really good. It’s smooth and it’s got a sort of intricate flavor. Kinda hard to describe, I just know it’s good and the price at under $40 is fantastic.

Mijenta Tequila Reposado

Great Tequila for Sipping or Cocktails

I drink this stuff straight with nothing mixed with it, but my wife loves it in different cocktails. It's great both ways. Well worth the money.

Copalli White Organic Rum

tastes like chachaca, not rum, VERY strong, no sweet, not smooth, can't drink it

Calumet Farm 12 Year Old Single Rack Black Bourbon Whiskey

This whiskey is horrendously bitter. At first it seems alcoholic but I think the alcohol is just adding to the bitterness already present. One of the worst whiskey purchases I've made and a reminder that its better to try it somewhere before buying a bottle this expensive.

Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey

Good flavor, good price, can’t go wrong with that

I’m using this bottle to make my occasional Irish coffee and it is standing up perfectly with all the flavors. I’ll probably buy another bottle once I finish the one I got.

Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Premium Whiskey

This is officially the hottest bottle of bourbon to obtain down here in Florida. Everyone trying to get their hands in it. Can’t wait for the next shipment is available.

Widow Jane 14 Year Old The Vaults 2019 Bourbon Whiskey

Better than I expected .

Started off with a mild sweetness, not a hot bourbon. Easy sipping whiskey

Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky

Very medicinal in it’s taste. Fragrance is nice. Not for me.

Paquera Espadin Mezcal Artesanal

I had tried this brand before but I got a bad bottle perhaps. The flavor was similar to vinegar

Widow Jane Lucky Thirteen 2022 Edition Bourbon Whiskey

Exceptional for the $

Smooth rounded and complex...subtle carmel/vanilla finish ... small chip of ice in a shot glass is my preferred

Forty Creek Barrel Select Whisky

I am not an expert on Whiskey, by any means. The best I can say is that Forty Creek Barrel Select is the smoothest Whiskey I have ever had the pleasure of drinking.

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey

Complex and flavorful.

Very Old Barton Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750mL)

Cheap hundred proofer

Where else are you going to get a 100 proof bottle for this price?

Very Old Barton Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750mL)

Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This is OK as a sipper (Neat) light sweet honey oat gram cracker front flavor, floral undertones in the middle, medium heat and short finish.

Try it on the rocks, this whiskey DOES NOT like water or as a mixer.
Flavor changed hard undrinkable.

Fine as a neat Whiskey but to many others out there more rounded for a home bar. Will finish bottle but will not buy another. Disappointing

Cazcanes No.7 Añejo Tequila

Very well made tequila, Will be keeping this stocked in home bar. Smooth mouth feel vanilla start with a nice light oak finish. I’ve sipped it neat as well as made a (tequila) old fashioned. *swapped simple syrup for agave nectar

Kyrö Gin

This is the only gin I’ve ever liked, and I like it a lot! I tried it in Finland this past March and was so happy to find that I can get it here in the states at a pretty good price. I wish they also had Kyrö Pink Gin. Both are excellent!

Early Times Bottled In Bond Bourbon Whiskey

1L staple. Great sipping juice.

Jack Daniel's No. 27 Gold Double Barreled Tennessee Whiskey

I wish I could afford to drink the stuff I collect. Seriously I only drink cheap stuff, things like this are just for show on the shelf.

Myrtle Bank Shannon Mustipher’s Tiki Blend Jamaican Rum

Rum Diaries 8/23/23

Myrtle Bank is a gem and rare expression of additive free rum. I have an extensive collection of spirits but have had a difficult time finding rum without additives and added sweeteners, such as caramel and fructose corn syrup.

I was introduced to Shannon Mustipher’s Tiki Blend at an event and had to order a bottle. It was extremely pleased with the profile for tropical cocktails like original Trader Vic’s mai or old Cuban daiquiri. Hints of pineapple, banana, citrus notes and tropical fruits.

Riazul Reposado Tequila

An Excellent Tequila!

Brought this bottle over to a friend's house. We totally enjoyed it.
I highly recommend it.

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

I just wish I could run to my local liquor store and purchase it without the shipping fees!I would buy it more often.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

An outstanding Bourbon

Great value. Very smooth

Pyrat XO Reserve Rum

This was interesting. It seems to be a mix of rum and a citrus liqour. Sweet citrus and honey flavors. Good sipper and mixer.

Chairman's Reserve Finest St. Lucia Rum

This Rum is a little spicy as a sipper for me. Great mixer better than Bacardi.
I think it would be a good hot toddy mixer in the winter to warm you up.

Horse Soldier Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey

Excellent Bourbon and story

I really like all three bourbons by this company. I am happy and proud to support this great group of Veterans.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Rangerroy01 8/16/23

Overall this is my favorite. Hard to find in local stores but like that I can order from here

Four Roses Small Batch Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Sorry to rain on the FR parade

I know a lot of people out there are Four Roses fans. I like the Single Barrell and a few of the sweeter mashbills too. The Small Batch Select is a blend of 6 of the mashbills, and I found it uninspiring, not very tasty, and just disappointing. Sure there's cinnamon, apple, baking spice but for 104 proof, the proof doesn't bring with it any complexity, any additional flavor. It drinks hotter than it is (I'd guess 110-116 proof). It's not a nice sipper. I'd rather get the Single Barrel. In this case less is more.

Fort Hamilton Double Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Had my doubts about a NY bourbon but this young bourbon changed my mind. It's a mix of two mashbills (part MGP) a 60% corn and a 75% corn. The palate is warm, inviting, with vanilla, apple, light carmel, rye spice, oak. The vanilla and caramel are nice at 94 proof. This is a very nice daily sipper and for the price, it beats many bigger names (*cough* Four Roses Small Batch Select, *cough*) in palate, price and satisfaction.

David Nicholson Reserve

Great Character (and Value)

A stronger bourbon with a unique spicy character. Smooth finish - can easily sip neat or over ice. Can beat it for the price point.

Ocho Reposado Tequila

An Excellent Tequila!

This Ocho is very good. A friend recommended it to me and I have not been disappointed.

Sugarlands Appalachian Sippin' Cream Dark Chocolate Coffee Cream Liqueur

Picked this up on a whim and ended up buying a case to keep on hand! It has such a perfect flavor and is terrific frozen by the pool

Kurvball Original Barbecue Whiskey

I tried this brand of whiskey at NYC Beer fest by the intrepid museum

Loved the taste,smokey!

Sesión Blanco Tequila

Oregon Kid 8/13/23

I am new to the sipping tequila experience. The very first thing that impressed me was how smooth this tequila is. No burning of the throat, no need to suck on lemon...just pure pleasure. I do not mind paying up for good things, and this is very good. I shared this with friends and they were shocked that a tequila could be so smooth.

Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (700mL)

Very smooth. Worth the money???

I enjoyed this bourbon. It is very smooth with a mild finish. I like a peppery finish and this was more caramel. Is it worth the money? Not sure, but it is nice to share with friends.

Deanston 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky

Christian 8/11/23

After seeing Ralfy review Deanston 12 on his YouTube channel and giving it such a good Malt Mark I knew I had to snag me a bottle. Unchillfiltered. Natural colour. Truly a fantastic Single Malt.
