Craigellachie 13 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed January 21, 2023 (edited March 9, 2023)4.0 stars, Excellent; 750 ml bottle No shirt, no shoes, no Springbank - No problem. Ugly label, ugly bottle, ugly aroma - great Scotch. Damn. Pure adrenaline and testosterone. Love it. Wow - This hits it with the savory Scotch category, Clynelish, Springbank, Talisker, and Kilkeran. -

Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 21, 2023 (edited November 1, 2023)2.5 stars, very nice - 750 ml bottle Jim Beam Bottle in Bond for the win. I heard this was Jim Beam BiB, which I have not seen for several years, but non chill filtered. Yes, makes sense - and very close. But…I like BiB better in every way from flavor to mouthfeel to bottle design.20.0 USD per Bottle -

Springbank 12 Year Cask Strength
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed October 29, 2022 (edited January 14, 2024)5.0 stars - Superb, 750 ml bottle Batch 023, 100% bourbon barrel I remember when it was announced that Nirvana would be on MTV Unplugged. It sounded like a dumb, corporate-driven idea. The result was surprising. Powerful, original, and perhaps the best live album of all time. Cask strength 55.9% ABV, 100% bourbon barrel Springbank carries the exact same energy. Spirit forward, grungy, sensory driven. Exceptional. This drinks so easy for the high ABV. Willet Rye and Ardbeg Oogie are also equally easy to drink neat.130.0 USD per Bottle -
Springbank 10 Year
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed October 26, 2022 (edited February 22, 2024)4.5 stars - Exceptional; 750 ml bottle If you encounter this bottle, please treat it like it is highly radioactive. Send to me for proper disposal. This calls for the careful handling of a highly skilled professional drinker.99.0 USD per Bottle -
Calumet Farm 16 Year Single Rack Black Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 15, 2022 (edited February 14, 2023)3.5 stars - Very good, 750 ml bottle What is the difference between a good whiskey and a great whiskey? This whiskey is very similar to Remus Repeal Batch II, a total oak and cherry bomb. It is very good, clearly old, and unique. But is it legendary? I feel this is a two note wonder, but I need at least three or four major notes to be complex enough to climb into “great” territory. At half the age, I would give the advantage to Bookers for that reason.130.0 USD per Bottle
