Tullamore D.E.W. 12 Year Special Reserve
Blended — Ireland
Reviewed August 22, 2018 (edited June 15, 2019)4.3 / 5. Creamy salt water taffy nose. Really really tasty. Light and noticeably sweet (hello oloroso sherry) with a distinctive floral/fruity profile. Fresh rose petal and white grape. Like this one a lot. -
Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 25, 2018 (edited September 11, 2018)3.5/5.0. Really would like to rate this 4 stars to account for the price. A complete bourbon with all the bonafides (and benefits) of BIB for <$15. Strong HH peanuts at first taste, fades into a gently sweet and balanced bourbon. Toffee, nutmeg and just a hint of cinnamon. Easy to sip and a no-brainer for cocktails that don't need a strong rye component. Will buy again.14.0 USD per Bottle -
Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey
Wheat Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 24, 2018 (edited February 3, 2019)Very mild nose. Vanilla-pear torte if you can catch much of anything. Maybe a touch of underripe banana. Not much taste at first, then develops a surprising oaky iodine with a little burn neat. Very sweet, the burn would be gone with just a little water, leaving only vanilla sweetness. Rich and toasted cereal grain. A thin buttered toffee. Gentle heat on the finish. Slightly bitter, but not off-putting. I do get a bit of the characteristic Heaven Hill peanut essence there at the back end. Nice. Not sure if I prefer it to Makers or Wellers, but not sure I don't either. Easily worth a try for < $30.28.0 USD per Bottle -
An interesting and vibrant pour. Notably "different" from most bourbons I've tried. Strong nose and flavor of both mint and cherries. No ethanol on the nose, just pure cherry. Moderately spicy with nutmeg and a splash of iodine. Definitely woody but not a traditional oak profile. Will enjoy the bottle, need to try a few side by side to decide if "different" means "better".40.0 USD per Bottle

Fantastic. I love this offering, and the notes added by the port cask finish really transform an already top quality rum into an experience. Incredibly smooth. Sweet and rich, but Foursquare doesn't add sugar. One can taste the ripe, deep fruit flavors without anything seeming raisiny.58.0 USD per Bottle
