Tastes

Best Penelope I’ve had so far and had quite a few. Nose is baking spices, citrus fruit and vanilla Palate is very sweet, light fruity notes and surprisingly very viscous for a Penelope whiskey. Finish isn’t long but very nice One of the better whiskey I’ve had in a while and less than $100. Definitely a buy

Taste like rubbing alcohol smells like it too

Nose: Levi Garrett chewing tobacco, brown sugar Palate: very sweet, vanilla, tobacco, not too hot for the proof. Easy buy at $30

Lucky enough to have a father in law who has this bottle. The nose is amazing vanilla bomb with dark chocolate and plum. On the palate much of the same lot of vanilla, brown sugar, butter dark chocolate. Hot but not off putting. This may be the best bourbon I’ve ever had

Color: very dark for a scotch from the sherry cask Nose: rich dark chocolate, figs, brown sugar Palate: raisins, chocolate, cherries, lot of wood influence This is a very good dram, I’d say it’s similar to a Glendronach 18 not as refined but a very good sherry whisky

Nose: chocolate, cherry, toasted marshmallow Palate: strawberry cheesecake, brown sugar, hint of chocolate on the back A Big Bang for the buck, Wish I bought two. An easy buy at $50

Light peat on the nose, very rich tobacco and dark chocolate. Palate is rich with the same tobacco notes, sweet dried fruits from the sherry with a very moderate peat level which I enjoyed. Finish is not very long but this whisky is refined and feels old even though it shows no age statement. Easy buy at $100

This ain’t no beginners bourbon, lot of heat but when you get past the first sip the cherry sweet, buttery caramel notes really shine through. This bourbon is thick it’s a one glass whiskey for sure. If you can take the heat the classic ECBP flavors are worth it! I’m usually a barrel proof lover but this may need a drop or two of water

This one is a major steal at the price, definitely not your typical rye. Very similar to the EH Taylor Rye. Bourbon notes on the nose and palate. It’s a definite buy, very mellow spice, lots of vanilla and a long finish. Would buy again in a heartbeat

My favorite Glenmorangie Nose: Honey, Wheat Bread, Butter, hint of tobacco Palate: sweet fig, buttered bread, baking spice Have had a few Glenmorangie whiskys, this one has the most “flavor” to me a can’t miss buy
