It provides a silky smooth texture and gives Baker's a full, balanced flavor time after time. Very aromatic with a sweet, smooth, medium long finish." -Wine Enthusiast     Basil Hayden's Small Batch Bourbon Origin: USA (Kentucky)   Gold Medal -San Francisco World Spirits Competition The lightest-bodied of the small-batch bourbons dates back to a 1796 recipe that uses a higher percentage of rye and barley.

It has a gentle bite and is clean and brief at the finish.   Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon Origin: USA   90 Points -Beverage Testing Institute   "Copper hue.

Potent, heady, spirity bouquet leaps from the glass in fiery, sweet, tangy notes; inhale in small doses. On the palate, Booker’s offers high flying flavors of wood, smoke and wine at entry; midpalate is sweet and corny. Memorable finish has tastes of fruit and nuts.

There’s a burst of palate entry heat; midpalate features mature flavors of kiwi, key lime, raisins, plums and grapefruit. Aftertaste is rich, textured and sweet. One of my favorite muscle-bound tipples.

Sweet, caramelized creme brulée nose. A smooth entry leads to a fruity-yet-dry medium-bodied palate with nice caramel, vanilla and toasty oak notes. A robust, rustically-styled bourbon with good flavor however, it needs a touch of water to tame things down. " -Beverage Testing Institute   Wild Turkey Rare Breed Origin: USA (Kentucky)   90-95 Points -Wine Enthusiast Gold Medal -San Francisco World Spirits Competition "Autumnal topaz color. Gently spirity, oaky and raisiny bouquet that highlights scents of ripe nectarine, vanilla wafer and dried red fruit; a classical, prototypical Bourbon fragrance. Considering the uncut barrel strength, the palate entry is remarkably subdued; by midpalate, the alcohol builds in the back of the throat as opulent flavors of spice, tart apple, citrus and charred oak entertain the taste buds. Finishes intensely spirity. Add a splash of mineral water, sit back and enjoy a beauty from America’s finest whiskey distillery.

Spicy charred oak, sweet toffee, and pepper aromas. A rich entry leads to a dryish medium-to full-bodied palate with toffee, mocha, and white pepper flavors with a pronounced copper tang. Finishes with a sweet, charred barrel, brown, and metallic fade. An aggressive and spicy bourbon that will work nicely in a bourbon peach tea cocktail." -Beverage Testing Institute   Related Article: Bourbon Sweet Gold
