After a year and a half of waiting, I finally opened my bottle of E.H. Taylor Small Batch Bourbon—and it was worth every second. From old oak and honey to creamy vanilla and cherry syrup, this Bottled-in-Bond classic delivered a beautifully balanced pour.
Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond is a classic bourbon that’s earned plenty of praise in the US, but with Aussie prices hitting $180–$220, is it still worth it? I take a closer look at the tasting profile and value of this 100-proof bourbon to see if it lives up to the hype — and the hefty price tag.
Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Old isn’t just a great bourbon — it’s the bottle that opened my eyes to the depth and complexity American whiskey can offer. Rich caramel, creamy vanilla, and a subtle rye spice make this small-batch classic endlessly sip-worthy and a permanent fixture in my cabinet.
