Early Times 150th Anniversay
Blended - U.S.A. - 50.00% 8 Stylish, but the finish knocks it back a few points for me.

High West Whiskey Son of Bourye
Blended - U.S.A. - 46.00% 8 The world's only Bourbon/rye marriage. And it works.

Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch 2010 Release
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 55.00% 8 Another unsung hero shows its quality. Excellent layering effect.

Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2002
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30% 8 A superb Kentucky delight ! When old bourbons are oak controlled, they reach perfection.

Balcones Baby Blue
Corn Whisky - U.S.A. - 46.00% 7 A lovely dram, balanced between fruit and oak. Leaves a pleasant fresh taste.

Dry Fly Triticale
Grain - U.S.A. - 42.00% 8 A big, rich classic Bourbon note to this one. Well played.

Great Lakes Distillery Pumpkin Seasonal Spirit
Liqueur - U.S.A. - 45.00% 6 ?Not unpleasant, but just too far removed from the (already vastly cavernous) flavour profile whisky has.

Balcones Brimstone Corn Whiskey
Non Bourbon - U.S.A. - 61.00% 6 For some reason I keep thinking of Gram Parson's immolation at Joshua Tree.

Lion's Pride Oat
Oat - U.S.A. - 40.00% 6 Young and gawky, but there's something stirring.

Lion's Pride Dark Oat
Oat - U.S.A. - 40.00% 6 This is weird.

Sazerac 16 Years Old
Rye - U.S.A. - 45.00% 4 A very very classy mature rye. Highly recommended for the decadent boulevardiers among you.

Thomas H Handy
Rye - U.S.A. - 64.50% 8 An unusual floral profile for a rye. But delightful. What a nose!

Sazerac 18 Years Old
Single Grain - U.S.A. - 45.00% 9 A superb bourbon. As neat and perfectly dressed and combed as Richard Paterson!

Forty Creek John's Private Cask
Single Grain - U.S.A. - 40.00% 7 Interesting contrast between nose and palate.

Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Maple Wood
Single Malt - U.S.A. - 47.20% 7 Deep, rich. The final recommendation from a cracking bunch.

E.H. Taylor Jnr Single Barrel 2000 11 Years Old
Single Malt - U.S.A. - 50.00% 8 A polished and complex whiskey.

Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select
Tennessee - U.S.A. - 45.00% 8 ?A classic rye whiskey. Gains balance and sweetness with a dash of water.

George A. Dickel's Tennessee Whisky No. 12
Tennessee - U.S.A. - 45.00% 8 Not as smoky and char-like as I remember. Very enjoyable, but less obviously Tennessean.

Dry Fly Cask Strength Wheat
Wheat - U.S.A. - 60.00% 8 ?Some will say this is bottled at too high a strength – I might have to agree with them, but the core of this whisky is excellent. One to disagree over.

Dry Fly Port Finish Wheat
Wheat - U.S.A. - 42.00% 8 Hard to pin an age on this, as it has some lovely fresh youthfulness, but an elegant maturity too.
