Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bob S 3/20/23

Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bought this as a gift & I was told it was great.

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Heaven's Door Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I was skeptical initially. But this bourbon did not disappoint. It was full-bodied with an intriguing aftertaste which made this a top-of-the-list bourbon. Better than Maker's Mark and far above Woodford's Reserve. Superb!!

Willett Pot Still Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey

One of the best things ever! And I don't just mean whiskey.

Garrison Brothers Balmorhea Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Chilepeppa 3/8/23

Another great GB product

As a new consumer of Garrison Brothers products, my initial impression was meh. After returning to them over the course of a few weeks I came to appreciate the funkiness that is prevalent in their offerings. From Small Batch, Single Barrell, Honeydew and Cowboy, I am a new fan. When I saw the Balmorhea on Caskers, I had to try it. It is second only to Cowboy 2022 in my opinion. Rich, decadent & sweet, what's not to love!

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Hard to find this economical deliciousness in Ohio (unless departing on an Allegiant flight) and I'd rather absorb a kick in the jewels than wait in line, in the early hours, on a designated date, at an insidious liquor store that withholds (hides) the vast majority of inventory for their "buddies". Since I'm not dependent on the juice, I'm happy and willing to wait the 2+ weeks for delivery of this reasonably priced nectar at a REASONABLE price! Thanks, Caskers!

Traverse City Whiskey Co. American Cherry Bourbon Whiskey

Love this Cherry Bourbon! Wanted to order more but can’t find with Casker, my preferred vendor.

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 149 Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey

Fast delivery and a great addition to my Woodford collection. Can't wait for the derby to share it with the guys!

Straight Edge Bourbon Whiskey

A great introduction to bourbon

This Bourbon starts on the nose with a strong vanilla which is carried through each sip. After the initial vanilla, you catch the true to form Oakley flavor and a hint of caramel at the end of each sip. After taste leaves the Oakley flavor standing. A great introductory bourbon for those beginning the collection road.

Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Another overrated Hollywood Liquor

You get what you pay for - a B hollywood actor bourbon

W.L. Weller Special Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon Weller Blue is a triumph, a testament to the skill and dedication of those who created it

It is with great pleasure and utmost decorum that I pen this review for the Bourbon Weller Blue. The discerning connoisseur of fine spirits will no doubt find much to savor in this remarkable libation.

The Bourbon Weller Blue boasts a rich, amber hue that betrays the depth and complexity of its flavor. Upon nosing, one is greeted with a symphony of aromas, ranging from the sweet notes of honey and vanilla, to the warm, toasted oak that infuses the spirit with its distinctive character.

Upon first taste, one is struck by the remarkable smoothness of this bourbon, which is surprising given its robust and full-bodied nature. Rich and layered notes of caramel and brown sugar are offset by a subtle hint of spice, leading to a long and satisfying finish that lingers on the palate.

The Bourbon Weller Blue is an exemplar of the bourbon distiller's craft, a true masterpiece that bears witness to the artistry and passion of its creators. It is a spirit that rewards the discerning palate, and is sure to impress even the most fastidious of bourbon enthusiasts.

In short, the Bourbon Weller Blue is a triumph, a testament to the skill and dedication of those who created it. It is a spirit that speaks to the heart and soul of the true bourbon lover, and is sure to remain a favorite for generations to come.

Widow Jane Decadence 2022 Edition

Bought for my husband.

Bought for my husband. He says it has a very good taste, mellow and very pleasant aroma.

Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey

I had great hopes given the reviews. I am not a fan and for the price I prefer Larceny, Russel 10, Blue Note, shall I go on?

Hand Barrel White Marble Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

love the bottle design

Great quality for this price, delivery was smooth.

Kentucky Owl 'Takumi Edition' Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Much better offerings at this price

I've had several Kentucky Owl offerings and liked them all, and I expected to like this one, but this one not so much. Unless you like Japanese whisky with a nutty overtone flavor profile. With the name I expected some hints of Japanese distilling technique, but that ruined the bourbon part fire me and vice versa.

It didn't taste like bourbon to me - more like a blend of Japanese and Irish with nuttiness added- and there are better offerings of those at this price as well in my opinion.

At this price point try the calumet 15. Much more balanced with all the things you love in a great bourbon - caramel, vanilla, and cherry without the cough syrup vibe that some do.

Old Forester 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

Amazing Budget Bourbon

Old Forester, what more has to be said? Seriously though, this is hands down my go to every day mixer bourbon. For the price and the flavor profile, it's a no brainer.

Joseph Magnus Straight Bourbon Whiskey

For $100 a bottle it really isn't worth it in my opinion. Has a really interesting nose, very complex and satisfying. The back end is a little to dry and bittter for my tastes. Personally at that price point there are much better bottles. But it's still definitely an interesting bottle to try, it's unique. Has a really interesting back story too.

Duke Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

It was a wonderful surprise. The smooth taste is totally amazing. Never would have quest the taste would be that outstanding for the cost

Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This bourbon is sweet and complex. It drinks great as a neat pour or makes a fantastic cocktail.

Three Chord Blended Bourbon Whiskey

Decent Bourbon Worth The Price

Fairly smooth, nice finish and mixes well with Coke. Worth the buy.

Old Grand Dad 114 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Great moderate priced bourbon

Great to sip on the rocks or outstanding as a mixer.

Willett Pot Still Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bought as a gift-got a smooooth taste from my son in law and a thumbs up from my grandson- I am a wine person so I just tasted it. It went down well and gave me a nice warm feeling-tasted good a little spicy but did order again for my other son

New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Christmas gift for boss

Purchased this for my boss for Christmas. From what he told me, he loved it so I'll probably make this an annual gift for him.

Spiritless Kentucky 74

Take my word for it. If you love the taste of bitter chemicals this is for you.

Isaac Bowman Port Barrel Finished Bourbon Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Lesfoxhound 1/1/23

Disappointed in the taste. Not like other finished in port barrels I’ve tasted. Kinda has a bite to it plus a little funky taste. Wish it was smoother

New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon (Caskers Staff Pick)

This is an exceptional whiskey

I think this whiskey punches above it's price point. It has an ideal combination of proof and character. You won't be disappointed.

Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select 2022 Holiday Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey

We enjoy this holiday blend - very tasty addition to the holidays. Slightly spice and very nice

Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey

LouMerLuv 12/23/22

Gifted this to my brother

According to my brother, whom I gifted this to. It is an excellent bourbon! The flavors take him to run filled beaches. He loves the ocean life, hence why I got this for him. Good choice for the beach lover.
His words! Enjoy

Town Branch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I hadn't had this bourbon in a while, but have had several people suggest it to me unprompted. So surprised, not what I remembered in a great way! Really good value and the bourbon itself is unlike all the others flooding the market right now. The orchard fruit combined with the sweet caramel was really interesting...

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

Couldn't find it around KC area but an amazing tasting bourbon so had to get some more. Gvae them out for christmas gifts. The shipping cost still made it worth while to get.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Great gift! 12/20/22

My father in law searches high and low for this (and Blanton’s) each time it comes in stock locally. He very rarely gets his hands on it so I thought I’d try this site out so I can get him some for Christmas. It arrived in a little over a week, and was packaged phenomenally and there were no issues. I can’t wait to gift it to him!

Willett Pot Still Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This is now my go to beverage when I can get my hands on a bottle...a must buy .

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Shipping was easy and the price reasonable.

This is one that I always enjoy drinking and sharing with others. The flavors are complex but not to the point that you can’t describe it to other people and they get it too.

Rebel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Great tasting and smooth. You will pick up various flavors as you sip. The tastes are subtle and easy on the palate. The value is truly amazing as you can pick this up locally for 20 bucks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey

For the price, you won't find a better tasting bourbon. I would put it up against Taylor's any day.

Kentucky Owl Confiscated Bourbon Whiskey

Leaving a review because I don't think this bourbon is getting a fair shake. Got this as a gift from a friend who is a bourbon aficionado. I found it to be very smooth with interesting but subtle spices. It is a little pricy but worth it. I keep a bottle on hand to share with other bourbon lover friends. It is a must have in my collection.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Wasn't A Whiskey Drinker Until Now

I've never been a whiskey drinker except for the occasional mixed drink (my preferred mixed drink is (was) Jack Daniels and Ginger Ale. I was introduced to Buffalo Trace while visiting my brother in Tennessee. On the way home to Ohio, a friend asked me if I could find a certain brand of Whiskey. We stopped at Indian Hills Wine & Spirits in Pikeville, Ky. The fine gentlement working there introduced me to Buffalo Trace. They hyped it up so much I bought two bottles to take home. When we got home, I opened a bottle, boured a bit, let it breath and then tried it. Very nice. I'm not a bourbon connoisseur; all I really know is Jack Daniels and a few other popular brands. Buffalo Trace has changed my tasted for bourbon whiskey. I really enjoy drinking buffalo trace and ginger ale (I only use Bundaberg ginger beer). Recently, I was at a local bar and orderd a Jack and Ginger Ale since we do not have Buffalo Trace here in northern Ohio. WOW! I can't believe the difference Buffalo Trace makes when compared to Jack Daniels (Old #7). I had a 1.5 litre bottle of Jack Daniels that I've had since by son and daughter-in-laws wedding three years ago. I just gave it back to them! I ordered a case of BT from here at Caskers. Shipping was slow but everything arrived in-tact. Glad I found an online liquour store to purchase Buffalo Trace! The price here is better than it was at the liqour store in Kentucky as well. I'll be back! :-)

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 148 Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey

Woodford Reserve Boubon

You can never go wrong, Woodford Reserve Bourbon is smooth!

McAfee's Benchmark Old No. 8 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The taste was far beyond the cost! Really nice smooth drink at a very nice Lu!

Town Branch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This juice has gone up in proof and age over the last few years, it seems like every time I grab a bottle I’m more pleased. Lots of cashew and butterscotch. Great bottle for sub $40!

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

best price performance bourbon

The best bourbon in this price category, 100%

Cream of Kentucky 13 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Complex flavor with a smooth finish. Drinks very well for 102 proof.

Enjoyed this bottle and hard to find. Noted the flavor changes significantly when it opens up with a bit of water but overall, a very good pour. This will be on my shelf as long as I can find it.

Black Fly Bourbon

Unfortunately… not great.

I’m an avid whiskey fan. Bourbon, Scotch, Irish. I enjoy quality in just about everything. Imagine my disappointment when the whisky distilled just down the street from me was one one of the worst I’ve ever tried. I was actually angry because it is priced the same as some of the best whisky in the world. It has been aged for under a year and is very apparent on the palette although I can’t see that the new make they use was worth putting in the barrel in the first place. It tastes somewhat like tepid water that has been sitting in a wooden cup for a day. Severely dissatisfied.

Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Best value for your money and ease of use to find. This is my “house” bourbon. I cant find better quality and availability than this gem. I am upset right now writing this review because i just finished my last drop of it i had in the house. So now i am drinking a more expensive bottle that doesnt please me the way this one does. Go Yellowstone!

Blanton's Straight From The Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Great tasting Bourbon!

Great Bourbon when you can find it!

Rebel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Crazy Eddie 8/23/22

How is this so cheap?

Super smooth and undoubtedly my go to Bourbon of choice. I am constantly amazed at how inexpensive this Bourbon is and wonder that its just because so many people haven't tried it yet. Straight, over ice or in a mixed drink this is the best Bourbon to cost ratio I have ever found.

Breckenridge Madeira Cask Finish Batch 1 Bourbon Whiskey

Smooth and delicious -

Rabbit Hole Dareringer Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Scotch and bourbon ( & wine) fan 6/25/22

I first tried Rabbit Hole Dareringer when on the Bourbon Trail. What a great distillery and whiskey. Take the tour if you are in the area. I bought several bottles of which Darringer was one of my favorites. A great taste, smooth & enjoyable. I was happy to see it available at Caskers so I could restock!

Noble Oak Double Oak Bourbon Whiskey

I am totally addicted

Love the rounded flavor. It's hard to make the bottle last more than a weekend. Glad I tried it. Have bought a few more bottles. Will continue to have it around for a special treat.
