Cadenhead's Heaven Hill 15 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 62.40% 7 Fifteen years is quite old for a bourbon, but this is complex, rounded and a good example of Heaven Hill's style. Keeps the sweet notes dominant.

Elijah Craig 12 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 47.00% 8 Less structured than might be expected in a 12 Years Old, but a perilously drinkable, appetising bourbon.

Elijah Craig 12 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 47.00% 7 Oak (and age) has lessened the creaminess and sweetness of the spirit. Would probably tune in with a cigar, but too oaky for me.

Elijah Craig 18 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 45.00% 8 Very urbane.

Evan Williams 1990, Single Barrel
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30% 8 Very different in style. Liqueur-ish.

Evan Williams 1991, Single Barrel
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30% 8 Where did she go? Will she return?

Evan Williams 1993, Single Barrel
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30% 8 The big, malty, chocolately style that I associate with Evan Williams. A lovely, voluptuous, afterdinner bourbon. Gains from a splash of water.

Evan Williams 23 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 53.50% 8 A lovely bourbon, but I prefer it younger.

Evan Williams Black
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.00% 7 Reminiscent of an old calvados at first. Palate is less creamy than the nose. For those who like it spicy. Water tames spices a little though.

Evan Williams Single Barrel 2000 Vintage
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30% 8 An old bourbon? With lots of wood notes, all integrated and complex.

Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2002

Heaven Hill Trybox Series Rye New Make
Blended - U.S.A. - 62.50% 0 Again well made and clean and interesting to know where a spirit start, but it's only as a reference point. Again cannot mark.

Heaven Hill Trybox Series New Make
Blended - U.S.A. - 62.50% 0 Interesting, but why is it being bottled? I've not marked it because there is no frame of reference.

Henry McKenna Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 50.00% 7 Shy. Diffident. But with its own delicacy.

JTS Brown
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 40.00% 7 A pleasant balance between oaky and creamy notes. The finish is surprisingly long for the alcoholic strength. The mid palate is a bit watery.
