items Here are of some of my my favorite adult beverages. I love to sip whiskey but I'm not opposed to a great cocktail! Let me know what you think about my picks in the comments!
This bourbon is smooth and has an almost sweet finish. It's one of my go-to'd because almost everyone who tries it, likes it! Aged 4-6 years. The nose is vanilla, some oak, maple and toasted nut maybe a little cherry. The palate is warm and smooth. S...
Angel's Envy Bourbons - Kentucky Bourbons | Angel's Envy US
This one is so smooth! I love the complexity and the oak finish.
Aged 5 or more years. It's a double barrel whiskey. Two straight whiskeys and one straight rye aged separately in oak and then aged together.
The nose is maple with milled grains and ...
Revelation Double Barrel Whiskey - Heaven's Door
I need to be very specific up front. I love voyage 28. The others are interesting and mostly good but 28 is a true standout in my opinion. Another important point: people either love this or hate it.
I worked on ships for a portion of my life and I ...
Jefferson's Ocean
This one is a blend of Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana whiskey ranging for 6-13 years old.
That is interesting to me because the nose is banana and carmel and fire. My much more learned counterparts call that an astringent scent, which usually comes...
Barrell Bourbon Batch 035 Review - Amongst the Whiskey
By now I'm sure you've noticed my preference. Smooth flavor with carmel, vanilla, oak and some spice.
This is no exception. This is a nice smooth drink from start to finish - great for sipping or in an old fashioned.
Aged 4+ years it's mellow and t...
Premium Bourbon & Rye Whiskey | Basil Hayden®
I have read that Woodford Reserve is one of the top selling brands out there and if you've tasted it, you know why. It's good. It's mild and it's great for beginners and experts alike. It makes an excellent cocktail. Aged 6-7 years.
The nose is toff...
Woodford Reserve: Homepage
This one is another that people love or hate. Aged at least 6 years. I find it to be nice on the wallet and perfectly sippable. It also is great as a cocktail. The nose is sweet. It's honey and nectar. Some peach and lemon too. But it also has a cinn...
Bulleit
This one is chill filtered and aged somewhere in the 4-6 year catagory. It's not actually published. I like that it is younger and brighter in flavor. This is a relatively inexpensive one that looks great and makes a great old fashioned.
Nose has th...
Our Bourbon - 1792 Bourbon
This is one of the first ones I tried when I decided to have a dram neat. It’s smooth enough and it is reliable.
Aged 6-7 years. Nose is brown sugar and carmel with vanilla and some lemon. There is also some spice and pepper! Palate is buttery and s...
Four Roses Bourbon: Expertly Crafted Since 1888 | Four Roses
This is sometimes considered a unicorn because it’s so hard to get your hands on a bottle. Markup is crazy and it’s John Wick's fave so you know it's popular.
Aged 6-9 years.
Nose is brown sugar and carmel with some honey and vanilla. The palette i...
Blanton's Bourbon: The Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey
This is another allocated bourbon like Blanton’s. Hard to come by and a higher price tag. It is totally worth it so if you have an opportunity to try it, you should do so.
Aged 10 years.
Nose is brown butter and leather with some carmel and nutmeg....

I love a good peaty, smokey flavor so I have saved the best for last! Campfire is from Utah and is aged 4-8 years.
The nose is obviously a smoke but it's got a lot of sweetness too. Vanilla, toffee, some carmel and a lot of the sweet corn scent.
Th...
Campfire | High West Whiskey
I discovered my love of Scotch when my husband and I vacationed in Scotland. We did the tour and learned all about how it's made and discovered what notes we like the best. This is when I learned about the Islay (pronounced "eye-la") region and thei...
