An incredibly sweet bourbon for sipping. I find it to be better than most others at the same price point.

A good bourbon, but not one I have interest in buying again.

A wonderful oak and vanilla forward bourbon for a decent price. Definitely one that can be used for sipping or mixing into a “top-shelf” cocktail.

One of the best bourbons I know for cocktails. Not terribly interesting to drink neat, but a great foundation for building on top of.

A good bourbon that works great in a “top-shelf” cocktail. Not one of my favorite sipping bourbons.

An all-time favorite of mine. Amazing in a cocktail, and great neat as well.

Similar to the single barrel, but the great flavors are even more intense. One of my favorite pours.

The peak of bourbon for me. Amazing flavor and evolution. Hard to justify the high price, but I haven’t found something more reasonable to replace it with.

Another one of my favorite pours. The peak of wheated bourbons for me. Similarly difficult to justify the price tag, but I have yet to find an alternative.

A great wheated bourbon and generally goes for much lower than the full proof.

At one point, one of my favorite bourbons. Now I find it to not be worth the price. I would gladly go for a Weller Antique 107 for the price.

A good bourbon, but the price is absurd.

Can’t wait to try this one

One of my least favorite bourbons in this collection. I find it to be quite harsh for the relatively low proof point, and I’m not crazy about the flavors.

Not incredibly interesting, but great for the price.

One of my favorite sipping bourbons. It’s a very unique option for Texas with deep oak and brown sugar/molasses notes.

Oak, tobacco, leather, etc. I love it, and it goes in my favorite cocktail, but not for everyone.

Not something I have a lot to say about. It’s good, but not something I find myself reaching for.

Good, but not for the price. I far prefer Four Roses Small Batch Select. at the price point and the flavor profile.

A decent bourbon, but not for the price tag. I would not buy again.

Grassy - not sure how I feel about that

As you may have guessed, I’m not a huge fan of ryes. However, the oak from this Texas balances out the rye spices for me, making something unique that I enjoy.

My new favorite rye

A good wine-finished whisky. Better than most wine finished whiskies I’ve had, but not something I would seek out again.

An amazing finished rye with incredible fruit notes. Great as an after-dinner pour (like a dessert wine)

A fantastic single malt with powerful oak notes that I enjoy. One of my favorite and unique pours.

The best wine-finished whisky I’ve had.

Was not great for my palate.

A good peaty scotch that is far less harsh than the other 10y counterparts on the list.

The scotch that got me into scotches. A bit harsh, but I still find it to be an enjoyable drinking experience.

Even harsher than the Laphroaig, and not one of my favorite pours.

A nice scotch that’s much more on the sweeter side. Not terrible interesting, but very approachable.

Sweet and oak forward. One of my favorite non-Islay scotches to sip on.

As might be obvious, I don’t particularly care for Irish whiskies, but this one is good, and can be found at a reasonable price.
