Barton Distillery

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Sweet dark plum aromas and flavors, this wine still shows nice structure and has many more years ahead before it reaches maturity, long, lingering finish, excellent Bordeaux that will likely longer than me!! — 11 days ago

Depends how slow you drink it

Rowan's Creek Distillery

Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

Rowan’s Creek - vanilla. Smooth. Bartender said it was the master distiller’s favorite Willett because “it tastes like bourbon.” — 3 months ago

The Balvenie Distillery

DoubleWood Aged 12 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Balvenie Doublewood 12yr - the nose is light with a hint of wood. On the palate you get a bit more power and a full mouth warmth. Finish gives you more of that wood and heat. It’s a good, easy drinker. Won’t go out of my way to get but wouldn’t feel bad if given a dram. — 7 months ago

Château Magnol Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Delightful. 49% merlot, 45% cab sauv, little petit verdot, and cab franc to round it out. Smells and tastes like cab but drinks a little more smoothly and cleaner with that merlot. Really like it cause its all the cab I like without the part I am less a fan of. — 13 days ago

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery

Pappy Van Winkle's 15 Years Old Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2024

Soft flex for Norman. This bottle of 15-year was not up to par, unfortunately. It lacked complexity and a lot of the typical flavor profile elements. It tasted hotter than usual, and there was a fair amount of peat, which is not right. Still, it beats Jim Beam.

That is btw the best pic I’ve seen on here. Legit.

The bottle was new to me. I guess my friend had the neck pour earlier this year, so I don't know. I know what you're saying, though. It's also said that the lower a bottle gets, the faster the clock is ticking. I've got a few low bottles that need to be polished off. Come on over!

Nice pull. I don’t recall mine having a black label.

Ah it's the back label on the bottle. The front is embossed white lettering 😊 @Norman Gennaro

Deep color, no bricking at 25 years. First glass seemed best. But a nice drink with food throughout the meal. — a month ago

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery

Pappy Van Winkle Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year 107 Proof 2024

Brandon's bottle was better than mine. A little heat, a little sweet. Honey, cornbread, cinnamon, tobacco. Tight, clean finish.

Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!

Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.
