John E. Fitzgerald Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Musty Funk & Cake Very high proof which is what you get with a barrel proof. Part of the Heaven Hill family of brands which includes Elijah Craig and Evan Williams. Wheated bourbon at 20% wheat (and 68% corn, 12% malted barley) which lends a sweetness (as opposed to the spiciness of rye).
Copper Run Malted Barley Whiskey Banana Foster & Grape Nuts Made from barley and corn with an addition of port. Lovely, (local for us), artisan distillery in the Ozarks. Their water is limestone-rich and they age in barrels made of locally grown white oak.
Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon Peanut Dust One of the oldest distilleries in the country. Ridiculous bottle shaped like a pot still. Corn syrup, nuttiness, peanut, leather, sawdust, musty. Lingers on the palate with a numbing effect. Flavor is much improved when left to breathe for 10-20 minutes.
Breckenridge Spiced Whiskey Christmas in a Bottle So delicious. Full of baking spices and orange on the nose, on the palate and on the finish. Not too complex but a great start to the Advent Calendar and Holiday season. This dram truly is Christmas in a bottle!
