Yellowstone Limited Edition 2023 Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Yellowstone · Limestone Branch Distillery
Limestone Branch has crafted a bourbon where the char-forward profile feels intentional rather than aggressive. This is a whiskey that rewards patience — give it ten minutes in the glass, and the layers multiply. An excellent sipping bourbon that punches above its price.
Nose
Immediate charred oak and dark caramel, followed by waves of brown spices and toasted pecan. A subtle floral note emerges as the glass opens, with a corn sweetness anchoring everything together.
Palate
Full-bodied and assertive, with butterscotch meeting leather and tobacco on the mid-palate. The char influence is pronounced but well-integrated, creating a savory backbone that carries through to a maple-kissed sweetness.
Finish
Long and warming, with charred oak and rye spice lingering alongside fading cocoa and dried cherry.

Hayman's Royal Dock Navy Strength Gin
Hayman's
Navy strength gins were originally proofed to ensure gunpowder would still ignite if rum rations spilled on it — a practical origin that yields an expressive spirit. Hayman's Royal Dock is a textbook example of how higher ABV amplifies botanical clarity. In cocktails, it refuses to be diluted into anonymity.
Ron Diplomático Mantuano
Diplomático
Diplomático's Mantuano is often overshadowed by its Reserva Exclusiva sibling, but it stands on its own as a well-crafted daily sipper. The Venezuelan tropical climate accelerates the angel's share and concentrates flavors. At its price point, it punches well into cocktail territory while remaining pleasant neat.
Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond 7 Year Old
Heaven Hill
Heaven Hill's bonded expression punches well above its price. The seven years in Bardstown's climate-stressed rickhouses push real complexity into the wood interaction. This is a workhorse bourbon with a scholar's depth.
El Tesoro Añejo
El Tesoro
El Tesoro's tahona-crushed, oven-roasted production methods are traditional to the bone, and the two-year rest in ex-bourbon barrels at altitude in Arandas lets the highland terroir breathe through. This is añejo tequila that respects the agave rather than burying it under oak.

Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 9 Year Old
Old Fitzgerald
Old Fitzgerald's decanter series continues to reward patience. This 9-year bottled-in-bond expression balances wheated sweetness with genuine barrel complexity, offering structure without aggression. A bourbon that rewards slow, attentive sipping.
W.L. Weller Special Reserve
W.L. Weller
Weller Special Reserve demonstrates what a wheated bourbon can do even at entry level. The absence of rye bite allows the corn sweetness and barrel influence to dominate in a gentle, crowd-pleasing way. A genuine value when found at retail.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A124
Elijah Craig
This is cask-strength bourbon at its most articulate. The 12-year age statement and barrel-proof bottling create a dialogue between power and nuance that few bourbons achieve. A masterclass in controlled intensity.
