Bourbon Ratings and Reviews

Widow Jane Baby Jane Heirloom Corn Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Gary 11/7/24

I know there are bourbons with various wine casks influences but as far as straight bourbon smoothness this may be the best I’ve ever tasted especially for the price.

McAfee's Benchmark Old No. 8 Brand Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1.75L)

Surprising bourbon, especially for the price point. Pooukarity is going up as it’s hard to find in local stores. Usually priced between 21 and 24 dollars a handle locally, so a little surprised to see Caskers prices at approx 28. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

15 Stars Private Stock 8 & 15 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I saw a review from someone I watch on Youtube. They loved it. I did not. I would say pass. Sorry. Did not like this bottle.

Rabbit Hole Heigold Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Easy drinking. Not remarkable.

Not sure it's worth the price. Very smooth. Probably wouldn't buy it again. Too many other choices at this price point that I feel are better. Knob Creek 9 year would be a better buy.

Garrison Brothers Balmorhea Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey

HarleyMtnMan 9/4/24

I fealt the same way chilepeepa did on his initial experience with GB. Not impressed and had a pallet I was not sure I liked all that much. Then I caved and bought a Guadalupe and then a Balmorea. I reall changed my mind. A great friend came by with a bottle of Cowboy. We got pretty hammered tasting all three. Then we started blending the 3 GB's we had. I knew we were snockered then. We had a blast. Too expensive to be experimenting blending your own though. LOL in conclusion yes I have come to really enjoy GB.

TX Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I honestly don't care for their blended whiskey but their straight bourbon is truly outstanding, especially for the price point. I enjoy drinking it neat, no hug, very smooth, lingering finish in a good way. I belong to a bourbon club, plan on blind tasting it down the road, quite confident this bourbon will score surprisingly well. Definitely will buy again.

LizzyJane 8/19/24

Slightly spicy sweet vanilla flavor with a smooth finish

Heaven's Door Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This is my favorite go to bourbon. I’ve not had super expensive bourbons but for the average person like myself this is one of the bests in my personal opinion. I’ve also had the HD Revelation and that was pretty tasty also. I just gave my neighbor and one of my good friends a bottle to try and they both loved it.

Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Eagle Rare Never Fails

Eagle Rare is an appropriate name for this bourbon as it is hard to find but well worth the wait when it is available!

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I love the taste of Buffalo Trace. I drank it on the rock or mixed with simply lemonade zero.

Widow Jane Baby Jane Heirloom Corn Straight Bourbon Whiskey

"intense, creamy flavor" ...? Intense = yes. Creamy = not even close. I can only describe it as a harsh with a bad flavor.
Knock the price down by $20, and it might be okay in cocktails (when serving folks you don't want 'waste' the good stuff on)

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

This is my go to in the fall, love the toasted notes and flavor. Perfect for sipping around the camp fire.

Jefferson's Tropics Singapore Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

Better than all the other Jefferson's I've had. Kind of addicting.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

Smooth, flavorful, and not harsh at all. I will buy this again.

Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Smooth, flavorful, and a good value. Highly recommend.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

Learn about Blended Whiskey

I picked up a bottle of this based on a local store clerk’s recommendation. I immediately regretted not reading the label, which clearly stated “Blended Whiskey”. I have a keen sense of smell and did not detect the symphony of aromas touted in this product description. I know likes and dislikes are purely subjective so I’ll only say I found the flavor profile to be light, thin and hot. Not pleasant. If you aren’t a fan of grain neutral spirits you will not like this.

Warbringer Mesquite Smoked Southwest Bourbon Whiskey

This was hands down the worst bourbon I've ever had. It's like drinking liquid smoke.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

You would think it would be similar to buffalo trace, it’s not even close. Instantly regret buying.

Black Button Bespoke Bourbon Cream

I first discovered this product at the Windmill shops in Yates County, New York. It’s simply delicious. The best bourbon cream I have tasted. I have gifted it to friends all over Capitol Hill from all parts of the US. The reviews are all glowing for the unique and versatile bourbon cream product.

Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

As a person who loves a good bourbon, this was pretty good. Liked the finish and its pretty smooth. Good flavor straight and in an old fashion too.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

Might want to pass on this one

I had immediate buyers remorse when I tried to sip on this. Terrible to be honest. It redeemed itself a bit later when I mixed it with Coke. It is actually smooth in Coke. As a sipper you are 1000 percent better off with the cheaper Buffalo Trace.

Noble Oak Double Oak Bourbon Whiskey

Great tasting double oak

Tried this out at a local establishment. Definitely impressed with the great notes that come through. Even more impressed that it is a sub $40 bottle. I'm on my third bottle and its one I look forward to pouring. Offered novice brother in law several other pours and this was the winner by far. Time for another bottle.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

Buffalo Trace On Steroids

I totally disagree with “Marketing Gimmick”. This is Buffalo Trace but smoother and a hint of sweetness. Taking quality and price into consideration, and I am a bourbon connoisseur, I’m seriously considering making this my go to house bourbon.

Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Storm - NC 5/3/24

We all know finding this is like a Unicorn, it's just got to ordered online in NC. It's Blanton's and it really has to be one of the best, lots have been written but no matter what accept the positive and try it at least once! Bourbon Bucket List material, enjoy.

Blade & Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I rate this as a 9 plus and one of my repeat orders.

Willett Pot Still Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The Bottle Is Weird But Not The Bourbon

On my scale of 1-10 this is a 10 plus and for the price it goes on my repeat list.

W.L. Weller Special Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

One Of My Few Repeats

Weller proves a screw cap can cover a special bourbon. $70 is pretty much the top of my range these days but it’s hard to leave this one off my list.

Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This bottle proves a cork isn’t necessary to contain a high quality bourbon. I maintain a 1-10 ratings list. This is an 11 for $40!

Heaven's Door Bootleg Series 2020 Limited Edition Gift Box

Look, it's a delicious bourbon, but it's not a thousand-dollar bottle. You're paying for the name more than the product itself.

W.L. Weller Special Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Good solid wheated bourbon

Good balance of taste. A sweet and not too hot of a finish. Paid a decent price considering the current bourbon market. Surprisingly fast shipping as I've had some orders take weeks to arrive.

Kentucky Owl Bourbon St. Patrick's Edition

Great value for the sale price

I got this on sale from Caskers. It’s a decent pour, and you can definitely get plenty of hints of that Irish Whiskey with it. It’s smooth and very drinkable, although not my cup of tea. For a limited release, the deal was very good on sale, and I am happy I got a bottle.

Coppersea Excelsior Bourbon Whisky

This is an excellent Bourbon.
Don't let the origin hold you back.
This a well-crafted spirit, with a charming palette, warm to the tongue and gentle to the throat.
We are very familiar with the Adirondack region of NYS, and this will be our favorite 'Camp Fire' Bourbon from now on.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Tastes great. And very smooth.

Rio Brazos Texas Bourbon Whiskey

assassassin1 4/2/24

Tastes of chocolate and smells of flowers. Good stuff. Will buy again.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

15 years and still counting

I have been drinking Buffalo Trace bourbon whisky for about 15 years, and let me just say, it exceeded all my expectations as always. From the moment I poured a glass, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma alone is enough to captivate your senses, with hints of oak, caramel, and just a touch of spice. But it's the taste that truly stole the show. Smooth, rich, and incredibly satisfying, each sip dances on the palate, delivering layers of complexity that keep you coming back for more. Whether enjoyed neat or in a classic cocktail, this bourbon stands out as a true testament to craftsmanship. Needless to say, it has earned a permanent place in my liquor cabinet. If you're a bourbon enthusiast like myself, do yourself a favor and add this gem to your collection. You won't be disappointed. Cheers to exceptional bourbon!

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I was extremely happy with the product.
The packaging for shipping was next level, I was extremely impressed by the level of care put into insuring the bottles arrived safely. There was a packaging insert on top and bottom which securely held each bottle in place and separated from touching other bottles.
I will definitely order from Caskers again and the Bourbon was top notch.

New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

My son brought some buy for me to try and I liked it.He was away on a trip and found it through one of his associates. I dialed it in on Caskers and sure enough there it was. We've been enjoying since I got my order. Very good bourbon.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

I found myself in search of a new whiskey bottle. I do have to admit the name of this bottle is what first attracted me to it!
Traveller is the name of an album by Chris Stapleton. A country singer to which I have tickets for an upcoming concert.
So I thought why not let’s try out this bottle.
Now im not biased & this is my honest review. I received this bottle in less than 3 days. Purchased it Sunday afternoon & got it on a Wednesday. Packaging was great & bottle was unscathed upon delivery.
I opened the bottle & took in the aroma. It has a soft, smooth yet a little bit sweet smell to it.
I served a neat shot sized amount in a glass, and drank. When I tell you the aroma is just how it tasted! It’s the most perfect blend of smooth yet with a hint of sweetness to it. But it is not an overpowering sweetness, it is just perfect. The sweetness derives from a small caramel hint.
I’d have to say this bottle should be owned by every whiskey connoisseur out there.
If you know about Colonel E.H Taylor Jr Small Batch, a higher priced bottle yet the best I’ve had yet. This Traveller bottle is my runner up. For the taste & even better the price. It’s a win win. You win with the price tag & win with the flavor.
Now quit reading & add it to your cart. Thank me later!

Isaac Bowman Port Barrel Finished Bourbon Straight Bourbon Whiskey

This has become one of my favorite bourbons. Admittedly, I am a red wine drinker and love the port flavor of this bourbon I do not like sweet drinks, so I do not find this to be overly sweet. It is just right!

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Delivered in nice timely manner, no issues whatsoever. Will be placing another order.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Can never find buff trace locally so order online. When at normal price great value for the bourbon. Fantastic distillery and tons of lineage there!

Caskers is slipping on their delivery commitments, took well over a month from ordering to receive. If you expect it quickly, not so great.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

Great taste and easy to sip on

Brother's Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Generally mild and slightly sweet, this whiskey has no anger and was very enjoyable by itself and in a Manhattan like mixture. It pairs well with Luxardo cherries and the morning after saw no side affects...all in all a great buy.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Whiskey

Use it only for medicinal purposes when I'm sick. Gargle the throat. Feel stupid for buying it but it can be useful to start a fire, end of the world wound cleaning, cleaning off gunk from something etc.

Willie's Bighorn Bourbon Whiskey

Bought this because of a recommendation. It's terrible only useful as a mixer.

TX Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I bought the TX blended whiskey first, but this TX Bourbon was really a step above and well worth the price. A good sipper, but would also make great cocktails. I'll definitely buy it again.

Duke Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Smooth and to the point, easy bottle to finish

W.L. Weller Special Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Fine Low Proof Wheated

This was a staple early in my bourbon journey. A pleasant, low proof and inexpensive wheated bourbon. It is absolutely not worth over $200. That's insane. I wouldn't pay more than $50. I'd rather pay $45 for Maker's Mark Cask Strength, proof it down if too hot for someone. Bourbon prices are out of control.

Widow Jane Decadence 2023 Edition

This is a very nice whiskey. The nose is good. It feels good as you swish it around your mouth. It goes down smooth. I am just a whiskey beginner. My test is, once the first neat shot is gone, do I want another? With this one I did. It didn’t need a splash of water or an ice cube or 24 hours in the freezer. It’s lovely right out of the bottle. For me, that gets it all of the stars.

Jefferson's Tropics Singapore Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

The story that goes with this one is so big, we were hoping for a dram that would live up to the hype. We did not get what we hoped for. It’s harsh. It’s hot. It’s a lot more fun 20 minutes after it goes down than it is while you’re drinking it. It’s too much money to pay for something that is destined to go into next week’s flank steak marinade.
