Temperance Trader Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Lovely. Smells sweeter than it tastes—like maple sweet or prailine sweet, would’ve been too sweet for me if it had tasted like it smelled—but really nice.

Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey

Handcrafted, made at 9600 feet with snowmelt from the rockies. Huh. It was apparently voted one of the top bourbons recently by… I don’t think the bartender said. More to my drinking companion’s taste than mine and I don’t know if I’d go comparing it to my favorites but it’s still really very nice.

Redemption Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey

Hoooooooboy that has a whole lot of fire in it. Not at all like the rest of the Redemption line. But. But. Addition of ice mellows it almost completely, making it incredibly smooth and drinkable instead of a challenge to be withstood.

Crater Lake Rye Whiskey

Light and smooth with a floral quality to it (not perfume-y but floral). Also, I’m a sucker for anything at least partially made possible because of a volcano.

Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon Whiskey

Been a while since I had a “meh” but I think this one might’ve been a “meh” for me. My drinking companion had most of it but the bit that I tried didn’t knock my socks off. Or even slouch them a little.
