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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Early Times Bottled In Bond Bourbon Whiskey

1L staple. Great sipping juice.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

An outstanding Bourbon

Great value. Very smooth

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.

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.

Willett Pot Still Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Great taste and value.

Not the smoothest bourbon ever, but very good. Definitely a sweeter taste then some. A spicier finish which I would expect from a high rye, but the mash bill has no rye that I've seen, Very interesting and worth a try.

Smooth Ambler Old Scout 5 Year Old Single Barrel (Caskers Staff Pick)

I really like this one! The flavors are bold with just enough sweetness. The finish is long and complex. For the price, this bourbon makes me happy.

Smoke Wagon Fourth of July 2023 Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Dixiespccustoms 7/16/23

Ordered 1st sw on 4th.

Rye overtakes it. Get some notes smooth im a 100 proof drinker.my favorite out of all mt bottles I've bough is Elijah craig barrel proof 125 and up. Maybe i expected more smoke tast oak taste..but i just think rye over takes it...fast shipping legit.site $$$$ out of 5. Wish i ordered a different one for 1st mail order. Mybother bottle i ordered i loved!! Willet pot bottle brew still under a 100 p.

Deadwood Tumblin' Dice Heavy Rye Mashbill Bourbon Whiskey

This offering is a smooth, but spicy pour. Smooth Carmel/toffee notes worth a warm spicy rye hug to finish. You won’t be disappointed with this bottle!

Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey

Smooth, Excellent flavor and finishes well

This is a really rewarding Bourbon Whiskey that is truly a treat to drink.
A wonderful after dinner sipper that will leave you wanting another glass.
It's not cheap but when you consider how good it actually is cost becomes less of a factor.

A.H. Hirsch 8 Year Old Small Batch High Rye Bourbon Whiskey

Lots of good rye and barrel come through with a nice spiciness on the tongue to finish.

A.H. Hirsch 8 Year Old Small Batch High Rye Bourbon Whiskey

Lots of good rye and barrel come through with a nice spiciness on the tongue to finish.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Let me start by saying this is a good Bourbon for the price ( 33.99) But the hype around it, is crazy. Great nose, mild flavor and warm finish. Good to have on the shelf but not Great.

Jimmy Red Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Less than $100/bottle? Grab it!

I used to be in a whisky club and must have tasted a couple of hundred bourbons in my life. Jimmy Red ties with Garrison Bros. silver as, hands down, the most amazing bourbon I have ever tasted! The story behind it is just as impressive, but truly, this an amazing bourbon -- deep rich flavor or sweet roasted corn and honey, and a texture that is downright velvety.
Just a totally awesome bourbon and one of the very few in that price range truly worth the expense.

1792 Full Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Great price and fast delivery!!

Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

nice classic straight bourbon

The taste of smooth caramel and sweet notes on the palette is really nice.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Not sure what they hype is all about. It was just good.

Calumet Farm Bourbon Whiskey

Father’s Day gift from my daughter. Surprisingly smooth & good taste.

Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon Whiskey

Reading some of the 3-4 year old reviews I see around the Internet makes me wonder if we are drinking the same bourbon. I was recently given a bottle as a gift and was very impressed -- one of the most enjoyable bourbons I've had, though I'm more of a scotch fan overall. The gift I received was great and now I'm hear to buy more. Try it for yourself, or maybe look for more recent reviews.

New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

New Riff is one of my new go to bottles

Smooth, tasty and full mouth feel while at the same time not showing too much heat for the proof. Excellent sipper!

Noah's Mill Small Batch Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

Just the right amount of heat. Starts out earthy, a little herby, and slightly fruity. Finishes with a burnt caramel that dances on the tongue. This is my favorite and my go-to bourbon.

Penelope Bourbon Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey

GREAT VALUE! GREAT JUICE!

Knob Creek Smoked Maple Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I ordered this hoping for a hint of charred maple. Every other Knob Creek offering I've tasted has been great - one of my favorite brands. The "Smoked Maple" was a tremendous disappointment. If I wanted maple syrup in my bourbon I'd pour maple syrup in my bourbon. I should have realized that this is 90 proof instead of the typical 100...5% of it must be the syrup. Given the high quality of all their other stuff, I can't believe this ever made it onto the market.

Basil Hayden's 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey

Depth of Flavor at 80 Proof, NOT

Depth of flavor as described in the review is not existent in an 80 proof bourbon, Why any Basil Hayden 80 proof release is considered to be a premium product I'll never understand.

Oppidan Bourbon Smoke + Sea Straight Bourbon Whiskey

A unique dram at a good price

A very standard bourbon on the nose. No smoke at all. Nice taste. I like the peppery rye contrasted with the vanilla oak on the palate. The smoke builds in the finish and then slowly fades away. All in all a nice dram at a good price.

Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Powerful dram, full and robust..love what they make. We’ll rounded dram!

New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon (Caskers Staff Pick)

This IS the bourbon you are looking for!

This bottle is packed full of flavor at a price that won't kill your wallet. My only complaint is that it's darn near impossible to find in my local area.

Widow Jane 10 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey

For the price you can't beat this one. I love the long, spicy finish.

New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon (Caskers Staff Pick)

Stop buying my bourbon.

Seriously, this bourbon is awful. You don’t want to try it. Stop buying it.

All joking aside, I just want it to come back in stock. It is without a doubt one of the greatest bourbons under $100 I’ve ever experienced. The 105 proof for me is that perfect sweet spot, and New Riff presents a smooth, flavorful bourbon with just the perfect amount of flavor.

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 147 Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey

Another excellent bourbon by Woodford

Beautiful bottle. Great taste, good value.

Heaven Hill 7 Year Old Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Hard to find in my state but a bit pricey elsewhere

Very nice drink

Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Port barrel finish makes difference.

Bought this for my nephews They enjoyed the taste very much and thought that the port barrel finish added to the flavor.

Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This was good, was it great? No. I wouldn't buy it again but it's a good drink to have. I haven't loved any that are finished.

Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

There is no way this bottle of bourbon should cost more than $30. It is an average bourbon with almost no finish at all. People have run up the price on it because they think it is a funny name and they like the rooster on the bottle. So if your plan is to make jokes about the name, by all means purchase this bottle. Otherwise, there are plenty of better bottles in this price range.

Penelope Bourbon Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Great taste, smooth finish

Now my favorite Bourbon with a great all around taste and very smooth finish

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1L)

Best bourbon for price

Solid bourbon, no heat, sweet and smooth, taste compares to much more expensive bottles but at low low price point, best bang for your buck, my go to for any mixed drink and also enjoy it neat

W.L. Weller Special Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Excellent buy and taste

Did a large order of hard to find, Weller, Colonel Taylor, Eagle Rare etc, this was the standout to me, very smooth and sweet foreword taste with a hint of spice at the end, no burn, will buy again!
