Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey | 70cl | 47% ABV | Award Winning | Small Batch | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Whilst it might be stretching the truth a bit to say I'm a whisky expert (not even a intermediate level) I have over the years bought and enjoyed some fine and dare I say it quite expensive whisky's and whiskey's. I have a reasonable understanding of the flavours and regional differences but this time I figured I'd try a bourbon which I confess I've never done before. I hadn't any idea what the difference was until I Googled it - basically bourbon has to be 51% made from corn mash. My only real experience of American whisky was Jack Daniels which is an insult to the tongue, best used for lighting BBQ's. Vile, harsh stuff and that put me off trying American whisky's overall. Until now. And, well, I was wrong to ignore bourbon, at least this one. It's absolutely wonderful. Smooth, deep and fruity with an easy on the palette feel. My wife likes a small nip each evening now and we both agreed that this is Christmas pudding in a bottle. I'll definitely buy more of this because it's fantastic value for the superb smooth flavour.

Fantastic Ryder Cup Whiskey. Great addition to any collection

This is my first time to try a Rye whisky and I was not disappointed. I read that this is barely a rye whisky because of the 51% rye content which apparently is not much but for me it worked perfectly. The taste is beautifully balanced of cinnamon, orange and caramel a delicious combination. I will certainly buy this again as it makes a great alternative to my bourbon and scotch whisky.

Delicious classic kentucky bourbon! Recommended!

Strong smokey maple toffee taste absolutely lovely straight

One of the best Rye's I've tasted (And I've had a lot). I like the Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, so I figured the Rye was worth a shot. I was surprised at just how good it was. This is a top 5 Rye and very possibly my absolute favourite "Barely Legal" Rye (That is, a Rye that is only 51% Rye in the mash bill and as such only just considered as a Rye). Certainly I rate this higher than Sazerac (Which is nice but pretty much your average of this type of Rye). I'm torn between this and Green Briers Rye, but seeing as you can't get that in the UK and I can't fly to Nashville every time I want a Rye, I'll definitely be picking this one up again in the future!

Probably one the smoothest bourbons in this price range.

I'm not great at detecting caramel notes and all that stuff but I like my bourbons to sip, no ice, and this one is another bucket list bourbon ticked off. Really nice
