This can include all whiskeys that are not bourbon. Irish, Japanese and malt whiskies. This 16 year is incredible. Very smooth.

Blantons. I think the bottle is cool, but it is way overhyped. Even at MSRP it isn't what I'd call a high end pour, let alone at secondary values around $150. Get one at whatever price you can find just to have the bottle and say you've done it. After that? There's much better stuff out there.
With that low proof of 93, everything just tasted subdued. If you do get it and wish to drink it, this is one where I'd recommend NOT putting it over ice or even touching it with any water.
Blantons Gold, though.....yowza! 103 proof and the flavors really come out. Just a much, much better version of Blantons.

Maybe this! Opened another bottle of Blantons now I only have 37 left. This one has an a on the top with the little horsey. I believe a is the easiest letter to get. Since I have about 15 of them and probably 25 in my lifetime. This one right now just being opened up is a little week for a Blantons. I do taste a cinnamon, butter, scotch, nice caramel vanilla, very smooth nonetheless
So I do not get the sample whiskeys very often and this bottle has been around for three years so I finally decided to give it a shot. The wild turkey rare breed barrel proof rye at 112.2 proof. Not bad for a rye. The aroma has some flowers and a hint of spices. On the pallet, we have a little bit of cinnamon, white pepper and brown sugar. That finishes heavy though with the white pepper.
Bass,
It isn't a bottle that you would seek out. I got it because I wanted a good drinker after a hard day of work. One that was easy to find and $70 or less. I bought it because of the age statement, and while it was just fine, I expected more because of that age statement. Flavor, if I'm remembering correctly, was a little on the sour mash side with notes of heavier fruits. I typically like the sweeter stuff, but this one was fine for me. Not an upper level bottle, but worth the price and good to drink.

Vegas- Jeff's had a couple of cases of the Dickel if you are interested. Had a chance to sample a couple other bottles I have not tried before. I know this was discussed before but it is so nice to try a sample before you commit to a bottle. They still had a couple of the store pick Barrel bottles I mentioned awhile back. Had to grab one of those. One of my favorites.
