Treaty Oak Distilling

New Riff Distilling

SINGLE BARREL RYE

I’ve never had a swing of opinion larger that this. I originally rated this 6.2 and panned it (below). I just stuck this in the back of my bar and forgot about it for months. When I rediscovered it, it (or maybe I) was totally different. Complex, luscious with a long finish and amazing flavors or spice, vanilla, oak, brown sugar and rosemary. It’s a miracle!!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: This just sucks, I guess? Multiple tries over a week and all I get is charcoal and copper. Like, if you took a bottle of Jack Daniels, put 50 pennies in it and left it in a closet for 6 months…you would have this whiskey. Bizarre and terrible.

The Original Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Dude. Duuuuude. Duuuuuuuuuuuude. This is the smoothest bourbon I've ever tasted. Tied the Belle Meade but this one set me back quite a bit more. Toasty. Structured. Delicious. Viscous. Honeysuckle on the front, going to very toasted oak with a definite maturity. @Jason Brater good stuff!! — 6 years ago

Very good stuff, been enjoying for over a decade. All the stoppers are different on the bottles, each horse is in a different stride pose. There is a letter stamped to the bottom left of the casting. Eventually you can spell Blanton's... It's hard, I'm still not there yet.

Nikka Whisky Distilling Company

Yoichi 10 Year Single Malt Whisky

Amber color with medium legs. Very pronounced aromas of peet, freshly cut grass, and the smell of a beach bonfire the morning after! Secondary notes of vanilla and toasted oak and even a bit of rubber. On the palate, integrated alcohol with very smooth mouthfeel. Finish is medium + with delightful aftertaste. — 9 years ago

Single Cask Malt Whisky

Burnished copper. Aromas of maple syrup, toasted oak, almond, dried fruits, and cherry liquor. Flavors echo the above, plus malted cereal and rum-soaked raisins. Long, very complex finish. — 9 years ago
