Raise Your Glass to Rockpile Bourbon
Smooth. Bold. Unforgettable.

Today I’m highlighting Weller Full Proof. This is a candy store in a bottle and the first taste of this bottle is almost legendary BUT the sweetness quickly overtakes the experience and I usually can’t have more than an ounce of this. I can see this bottle being a hit for the candy sweet, smartees type of experience but it is not a bottle I go for often.
Family in town so I bring out the bourbon, they bring out the cigars. I’m not much into cigars but pairing Makers Cellar Aged 2025 with this Makers Mark cigar was an absolute delight. It felt like I was able to extend and enhance the drinking experience from this glass. I need to try other pairings like this in the future.
Fresh cork pop! 2025 Four Roses LE was reviewed as a pretty popular year for this release. The nose is a boozy cherry with some Krispy Kreme doughnut glaze. Also getting some winter fresh spice that reminds me of high rye bourbons.
Oh my. This palate is special. What instantly stands out is the texture. I get a velvety smooth and thick syrup experience that coats my palate and the flavor blooms and spreads perfectly across my whole mouth. I get some rich oak on the palate which was absent on the nose but I still get cherry, doughnut glaze and some rye spice on the back end. This is a very complex nose and palate with a long finish. Great bottle.

Was my 29th birthday last week and a buddy of mine got me a goodie!

One of the best bourbons out there! The bottle every whiskey lover needs on their shelf. Eagle Rare Bourbon for the classic smooth pour we all enjoy.
