  • Shibui Grain Select

    Blended Grain — Multiple Countries

    So far, with Japanese grain whiskys, there’s this tendency to make them taste really light and sake-like, and this is no exception. Basically just grain alcohol with some whisky added for color, it really has some fermented notes and weird, musty odors on the exhale.

  • TX Straight Bourbon Barrel Proof

    For 65% ABV this was smoother than I expected. Mind you, it still has a potent sting , but it’s not from any acrid odor… just the super high proof. That said, it’s really warm with a pleasant charred wood character and notes of pecan. Touch of caramelized pecan on the backend, maybe honey.

    An interesting blended whisky! Very smooth up front, not a lot of body, but a curious plum/lychee taste on the exhale. Overall an inoffensive blended whisky with bourbon notes and fruity character.

    This is a *warm* bourbon. Right from the getgo you feel a ton of baking spices, warmth, and smoothness despite the higher proof. Some vegetal and grassy notes on the exhale, but all around tasty.

    This isn’t bad, but it’s surprisingly peppery and spicy. Not a very “full” flavor, and it has a very potent bite. Wouldn’t call it mellow or smooth, but it’s definitely got a unique character.

    A very solid kentucky straight bourbon. Notes of caramel, apple, and coffee, especially on the exhale. Very clean, but not especially smooth.

    This is a very standard gin, which seems to be a difficult thing to come by. Notes of juniper and straight grain alcohol. Refreshingly simple but not in a displeasing way.

    A pleasantly orange-y aroma on the nose. Very fragrant with a touch of sweetness. Smooth thanks to a good aging time. Lightly grassy and vegetal profile due to aging in tequila barrels, but distinctly “whiskey”-y to stand out from that. Very warm with elements of classic baking spices/cinnamon. Probably not worth the price but quite tasty.

    So apparently this legally is not “rum,” and-in fact-the label does not indicate as such (don’t let the “Bumbu Rum Co.” confuse you). By what little research i did, this is technically… something, just not rum. That aside, this goes great in certain cocktails. Really sugary, with hefty amounts of banana and molasses notes. Great with fig and lime. Super strong vanilla aroma, almost like a bake shop-turned-perfumery.
