Soft scents of caramel and vanilla. Very full body of butterscotch, black licorice pepper and heavy smoke. The oily smoke flavor lingers pleasantly with a long finish. Balanced heavy heat that comes through more as you sip. I love that it's not overly sweet. Just subtly sweet. Honestly feels like drinking a tasty camp fire.

Appleton Estate 12 Year Rare Casks
Aged Rum — Jamaica
Reviewed February 5, 2022 (edited July 9, 2023)The first scent screams of quality rum. Good clean smells of oak and rich vanilla. First sip you get a mouth full of alcohol, oily notes allspice, clove, light cinnamon and hazelnut. The heat is brief but very good, wish it was longer. If you let the flavors dance around a bit you can catch all of the nuances. The heat lingers nicely after finishing. Very good rum with bourbon flare. -
Stellum Bourbon
Bourbon — (bottled in) Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 11, 2021 (edited January 4, 2022)This blended bourbon has the smoke and heat of a Rye. Love the amount of heat, very spicy with cooling mint finish. Oily with lots of clove, oak and toasty fireplace. I would buy this for the balance of heat and fruit flavors. -
Balcones Texas Single Malt
American Single Malt — Texas, USA
Reviewed December 8, 2021 (edited December 7, 2022)I've waited a long time to get my hands on this whiskey. In the first pour a deep rich golden body with a hue of orange. Very sweet smell of oranges, butter, caramel, and fruity. First sip confirms the sweetness taste of lemon but not bitter. Jammy, with more sweet citrus and a soft touch of heat and sweet corn. Good long subtle finish that reminds me more of a Scotch. Not disappointed and will come back because it's interesting. -
Limavady Single Barrel Single Malt
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed December 4, 2021 (edited December 7, 2022)The sherry really comes through during first scent. Sweet, fruity smells of licorice, caramel, banana, strawberry. Strong heat on first sip, with cola menthol taste that lingers. Although the heat lingers longer than the taste. Solid bourbon that I would pay $30+ for. Taste like Port and Bourbon had a baby.
