Expert Review 

The Whiskey Advocate 91 Points | Rademon Estate Distillery’s superb core whiskey has a nose of rye crackers, fresh oak, vanilla sponge, honey, bread crust, sultana, and golden syrup. It’s light to medium-bodied, with honey, cinnamon, and a big hit of rye spice, sweetening with vanilla, spun sugar, and golden syrup, setting up a push and pull between the rye and the sweet notes, before a finish of toffee, cinnamon, cinder toffee, and walnuts in syrup.

Producer Description

This whiskey is highly regarded because it's part of a new wave of innovative Irish whiskeys, blending the traditional Irish style with the bold character of American rye.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Soft spice, orange peel and creamy caramel fudge. 
Palate: Sweet stem ginger, fresh apricot and green apple followed by dark honey.
Finish: Sweet Marmalade and rich fudge, bringing with it light spice.  Velvety and rich finish.

Produced Description

Butterscotch and cinnamon with a hint of cherries on the nose; warming, rich, toasty vanilla and caramel up front with a dry oaky spice on the finish.

The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter's US1 Barrel Strength Rye marked yet another milestone in that quest. For maturation, the Rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, rather than a more industry standard higher proof. Barrel entry at a lower proof of 103 rather than a higher proof costs Michter's more money in terms of barrels and warehousing, but they believe it yields a richer, smoother, more full-bodied whiskey after proper maturation. A single barrel product, each barrel of Michter's US1 Barrel Strength Rye is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. The majority of barrels in the releases range from 107 to 112 proof. To savor it is a unique experience for anyone who enjoys rye whiskey. 

Expert Reviews 

99 Points Tasting Panel | Bottled at barrel strength (108 proof), this Kentucky straight rye exudes Michter’s always complex aromas—full of orange peel, burnt sugar, choco- late leather—with an extra stirring of the senses i ncluding cherrywood and peach. On the tongue, the alcohol sets a tone, then dissipates, leaving a warmth of peppered cherries, orange zest, toffee nibs and cocoa.

95 Points Wine Enthusiast | This limited-release rye offers a rich aroma of vanilla and caramel. Bottled at barrel strength, it's initially drying and hot on the palate. Complex and echoing with rounded vanilla and allspice, it stands up to plenty of dilution, and finishes on a hint of almond.

Producer Description 

Each year as part of the Parker's Heritage Collection, we select a special whiskey to be released in the name of our late Master Distiller Parker Beam. The barrels selected for this series include Bourbon, Rye, and Wheat Whiskeys, among others, and are some of the finest and most diverse American Whiskeys ever produced. They are a fitting tribute to the expertise of Parker Beam.

The 17^th edition of the Parker’s Heritage Collection consists of 10-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey pulled from 142 barrels. For this release, we used our traditional rye mashbill of 51% rye, 35% corn and 14% malted barley. It was barreled in August, October or December of 2012 and aged on the first floor of Rickhouse H1 and H2, the fifth floor of Rickhouse FF, the third and seventh floors of Rickhouse BB, and the second floor of Rickhouse DD.

At bottling, the liquid was non-chill filtered. This is only the second Rye in the collection and is the longest-aged Rye Whiskey in the Heaven Hill Distillery portfolio, making this a truly special edition. 

Evan Williams Straight Bourbon White Label Bottled in Bond 100 Proof 1.0 Liter

Evan Williams is one of Kentucky's most storied bourbon names — the distillery traces its heritage to 1783, making it one of the oldest continuously operating bourbon producers in America.

No shortcuts, no blending tricks — just honest, well-made American bourbon.

Winner of the Double Gold Medal at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the White Label punches well above its price point — smooth, warm, and complex with a rich caramel and vanilla core and enough structure to sip neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail.

Michter’s U.S.*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey — Louisville, Kentucky | 750ml

Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey is one of the great American whiskey comeback stories. During the 1970s and 1980s it was the distillery’s single most popular product — then it disappeared from the market in 1989 when the original distillery closed. After 23 years of absence, it made a triumphant return in 2012 as part of the U.S.*1 small-batch line, and whiskey enthusiasts have never looked back. Unlike bourbon or rye, Michter’s Sour Mash occupies its own category: a unique grain selection and the traditional sour mash process — where previously fermented mash acts as a starter for the new fermentation, much like sourdough bread — produce a whiskey of singular character that defies easy classification. The Tasting Panel awarded it 97 points. Wine Enthusiast gave it 93. At under $50, it is one of the most compelling values in American whiskey.

The nose is a showstopper: cherry, toasty vanilla biscuit, and warm burnt sugar. On the palate, a generous stream of flavors unfolds — egg cream, maple syrup, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, ripe peach, and sandalwood — with a long, mellow finish of vanilla, oak, and a faint cherry essence that lingers beautifully. Smooth, buttery, and deeply satisfying.

Tasting Panel 97 — “This uncommon small-batch 86-proof spirit introduces itself with a showstopping perfume of cherry and toasty vanilla biscuit. A stream of flavors ensues, from egg cream to maple syrup, burnt orange peel, and cinnamon.”

Wine Enthusiast 93 — “Resurrected after 23 years, this smooth, buttery American whiskey is worth the wait… a faint cherry essence on the long finish that seems to urge, ‘stir up a few Manhattans already.’”

Basil Hayden's | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Clermont, Kentucky | 80 Proof

The story of Basil Hayden's begins in 1796, when Basil Hayden Sr. — a Maryland-born distiller who learned his craft from rye whiskey traditions — led a group of Catholic families from Maryland to Nelson County, Kentucky. When he began distilling in Kentucky, Hayden kept a higher percentage of rye in his mash bill than the other Kentucky distillers of his era, resulting in a smoother, spicier, more distinctive bourbon that was unmistakably his own.

Today, Basil Hayden's is produced by Beam Suntory at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky — part of the Small Batch Bourbon Collection alongside Knob Creek, Booker's, and Baker's. It remains true to Hayden's original vision: a high-rye mash bill bourbon bottled at a gentler 80 proof (40% ABV), making it one of the most approachable and food-friendly bourbons in the American whiskey landscape.

The nose is inviting and refined — vanilla, light caramel, dried fruit, and a hint of peppery rye spice. On the palate, smooth and mild with a balanced interplay of vanilla, light oak, and warm spice, with a clean, gentle finish. Approachable enough for new whiskey drinkers, nuanced enough for the seasoned connoisseur.

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Also excellent in a classic Old-Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, or Manhattan.

• Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
