Lazy K Bar Whiskey Bourbon Whiskey Review.

    I received this spirit as a review sample from Lazy K Bar Whiskey, linked here. It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.

    The Lazy K Bar itself is one of Montana’s oldest cattle and guest ranches, with a history dating back to the 1950s. Now, with this release, what really caught my eye is the blending job. This is using Bourbon from Kentucky using age statements of 8, 9, and 10 year old Bourbon aged in #4 alligator char barrels. Not only using older whiskey into the blend should give it some more complexity but to be transparent on those numbers is even better.

Age Statement: 8 years.

ABV: 46%.

Mash bill: N/A.

Area of Distillation: Kentucky.

Blending: A blend of 8, 9, and 10 year old Bourbon from Kentucky.

Appearance: Rich golden hue.


On the nose:
    Right away, there’s an inviting wave of caramel and honeyed sweetness, balanced by a buttery sweet corn. A touch of barrel char adds depth, while orchard fruits, particularly green apples, bring a bright, fresh quality. A subtle rye spice emerges, accompanied by earthy and medicinal undertones, almost like freshly picked grain. Hints of vanilla bean paste round out the nose, giving it a warm and comforting feel.


Taste:
    The first sip confirms what the nose promised—a sweet and buttery corn foundation, layered with orchard fruit and spice. Green apple and a distinct candy-like note, reminiscent of green Laffy Taffy, create a playful contrast. The rye influence shines through with a white pepper spice, while the oak and charred barrel elements provide structure. The whiskey clings nicely to the palate for its ABV, offering a satisfying warmth without overpowering heat.


Finish:
    As the sip fades, the interplay between sweetness and spice continues. The caramel and vanilla hold steady, while the barrel char and toffee notes linger. A faint herbal tea note sneaks in, adding a final touch of complexity. The finish isn’t overwhelmingly long but is well-balanced and inviting, making it easy to go back for another pour.


Final Thoughts: 
    Lazy K Bar Bourbon Whiskey strikes a solid balance between an easy-drinking daily pour and a whiskey with enough nuance to please enthusiasts. The 9 and 10-year-old components clearly contribute to the depth, and the interplay of fruit, spice, and oak keeps things engaging. This is a bourbon that can be enjoyed both casually and analytically, depending on the mood. For those who appreciate a well-crafted, well-aged bourbon with a blend of classic and unique flavor notes, Lazy K Bar is worth a closer look.


Rating: B (Above average).

Cost: $99.99 for 750ml.

Dovetail Distillery Cut Throat Oat Whiskey Review.

Dovetail Distillery Cut Throat Oat Whiskey Review.      I received this spirit as a review sample from Dovetail Distillery, linked here . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.           Dovetail Distillery, currently the smallest craft distillery based in Nevada. Currently the distillery is doing quite a bit with unique grains and one of those grains is Oats. Oats can be a fun grain your craft distilleries can play around with and add a unique profile to their spirits. Their Cutthroat Oat Whiskey is no exception, bringing three unique grains to the mix. After being double distilled it is aged for two years in custom char/toast American white oak 15-gallon barrels. This barrel size can be tricky, it does take a keen eye and palate to make sure this size of barrel doesn't take over.       Given my fascination with oat-based spirits, I was eager to dive into this bottle and see how Dovetai...

Old 55 Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Sweet Corn Bourbon Whiskey Review.

Old 55 Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Sweet Corn Bourbon Whiskey Review.           Old 55 Distillery is a small craft operation tucked away in Newtown, Indiana, just south of Lafayette, and they’ve built a name for themselves by doing something very few dare to try, making bourbon with 100% sweet corn. I’ve crossed paths with a few of their spirits before and have always respected the level of care they bring to the table: all distilling, aging, and bottling is done in-house, with a heavy emphasis on local grains. Their Bottled-in-Bond Sweet Corn Bourbon is the bottle most people around here know, but this release, a single barrel, cask strength version, was something I’d only ever seen at the Market District in Carmel, Indiana.       Sweet corn isn’t just a novelty for Old 55, it’s an expensive, labor-intensive choice. A bushel of the common yellow dent corn runs about $4 (2020 prices), but the sweet corn they use costs over $1,...

   Abduction Whiskey Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review.      I received this spirit as a review sample from Abduction Whiskey, linked here . It is important to clarify this did not impact the ratings of this review.     Abduction Whiskey is based out of Pacifica California. Where the bottling itself is only about six months old, but the amount of passion behind the brand stems much longer.  Ryan Murray, a chiller mechanic, he took a leap of faith to turn his love for whiskey into something tangible, a move that resonates with many dreamers in the whiskey world. With an alien-themed aesthetic that ties into the idea of “abducting” barrels to create something uniquely their own. The bourbon is sourced from MGP and blended in-house to develop a their profile. While many bottlings opt for a three-grain combination, going with four should bring an extra layer of complexity that can enhance both texture and flavor.  For the full video review visit th...
