Black Maple Hill Oregon Straight Rye Whiskey | Speakeasy Bourbon Club Review & Tasting Disclaimer, this is not the original BMH that was produced by the Willet Distillery. There’s no age statement but this should be a blend of whiskies aged 4 to 5 years in new heavily charred American White Oak barrels. The Rye's mash bill is 75% rye and 25% corn. I get a grassy nose and comes off a bit musty. The nose finishes with a gingerbread sweetness. The taste here is leather, pepper and a tangy spici...

Old Tub is a re-release by Jim Beam. They nailed the appearance on this one with the vintage label. This non-chill filtered, 4 year old bourbon hits all points for me. At 100 proof, it's not punchy on the nose and I pick up the typically Beam nuttiness, with some mint, caramel and hay. I get a bit of a mash smell on the nose too.....aromatic and balanced. To taste, I get a peppery, tobacco mouth coat but not overly strong on the alcohol. I definitely get some oak here too. The finish is long for...

Weller Full Proof Bourbon Tasting and Review | Speakeasy Bourbon Club Weller Full Proof - What a treat it was to find this on the shelf! I wish it would've been more price friendly but i’ll let this one linger around on the shelf. The nose on this one is heavy cherry, vanilla, and caramel. I'm thinking Cinnabon all the way. The 114 proof doesnt turn me off, as the caramel sweetens this up nicely. Velvety smooth cherry syrup, long finish that appreciates some time in the glass to open up. Welcomi...
