Reviews and Opinions

my biggest pet peeve with review sites is they focus on msrp pricing, or the pricing the distillery sells them for. very few bottles are actually available at msrp, so I will be evaluating them at their market value. the other note is, these are not in depth reviews, with tasting notes and bottle biographies. just quick hits for the people that want a little info and insight and want to move on. happy drinking!

Bower Hill Special Edition #1


Bower Hill Special Edition #1 marks a noteworthy entry into the world of premium spirits, capturing attention with its intriguing blend and meticulous craftsmanship. As an enthusiast of fine whiskeys, I approached this release with a mix of curiosity and cautious optimism, and I'm pleased to report that it delivers on several promising fronts.


The nose opens with a delightful bouquet of aromas that hint at the complexity within. Rich notes of caramel and vanilla are beautifully interwoven with subtle hints of oak and spice. This aromatic profile sets the stage for an engaging tasting experience, inviting you to explore further.


Upon tasting, Bower Hill Special Edition #1 reveals a well-balanced palate that maintains the promise of its initial aroma. The flavors are robust yet harmonious, featuring a pleasing combination of sweet and spicy elements. The presence of honey and dark chocolate adds a layer of depth, while a gentle peppery finish provides a satisfying conclusion to each sip.


The craftsmanship is evident in the smooth texture and the careful selection of flavors that neither overpower nor fall flat. It's clear that attention to detail was a priority in the creation of this special edition, and it pays off in the overall experience.


While Bower Hill Special Edition #1 excels in many areas, there remains room for growth in future releases. A touch more complexity in the mid-palate could elevate it to new heights, offering an even richer experience for seasoned connoisseurs. Additionally, exploring unique cask finishes or aging techniques might add intriguing dimensions to its character.


The truth behind this bourbon is that I had heard from many sources that the juice was a rival to Pappy 12 Year. Bower Hill Special Edition #1 is a commendable debut that hints at great potential. It's unfair to compare to that standard yet. It stands as a testament to the brand's dedication to quality and innovation. All that being said, for those seeking a refined and enjoyable whiskey, this special edition is certainly worth a try. With continued experimentation and refinement, future editions could well become staples in the collections of whiskey aficionados.


As always, enjoy and drink safely.
