Balvenie Single Barrel 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed November 1, 2021 (edited June 3, 2023)Wow from the reviews a lot of people aren't fans but I enjoyed this. The nose smelled sweet and rich. Heavy smells of caramel, vanilla and floral. The taste was interesting. This is a bourbon that is good neat. Solid abv, smooth, slightly oily. Taste of honey but not too sweet, cinnamon, licorice and slightly spicy. Long and toasty finish Not too heavy but just right -
Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 21, 2021 (edited October 22, 2021)A strong nose of rich caramel, butterscotch and oak. Deceiving amont of heat, hint of cinnamon, char and smoke. Sweet, mellow, very unique surprisingly long finish. Honestly feels like drinking a camp fire. -
Knappogue Castle 12 Year Bourbon Cask Matured
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed October 21, 2021 (edited November 16, 2021)Strong floral sweet scents with a touch of vanilla. Love the amount of heat and spice. Strong enough to linger, but not too much to where it needs ice. Taste great neat. Oily and filled with a good amount of smoke and the oak doesn't over power your taste buds. Well rounded with a good finish. Will keep in stock. -
Blanton's Original Single Barrel
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 19, 2021 (edited January 3, 2022)Took a long time to find it. Once I found it I was eager to see if it met the hype. First sip and I was highly underwhelmed. Rich thick and oily. A man's man bourbon. Full taste of vanilla, oak, spiciness and moderate finish. It's good, but not great. -
1792 Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 15, 2021 (edited October 24, 2021)Sweet fruity nose with oak and vanilla. The abv is solid. Moderate spice, peppery smoky finish. The finish lingers with a menthol aftertaste. Ok, but very different. Update - not a fan after drinking again and will not buy Ever -
Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 19, 2021 (edited January 3, 2022)Very solid bourbon and a good staple to keep in the cabinet. Rich smells of caramel, vanilla. Honestly, smells like a fresh baked cookie. Baking spices and actual heat, but the short finish leaves much to be desired. Very solid small batch that doesn't break the bank, but wouldn't disappoint. -
Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Scottish Barley
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed July 29, 2021 (edited January 3, 2022)Sweet Peat, this is good. Reminds me of Glenmorangie. Smoky, rich with a little bit of heat in the end. I taste more oak in the finish. Cool bottle and case.55.0 USD per Bottle -
Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 1, 2021 (edited January 3, 2022)Best as a sipper. Spicy lovers, this is for you. Peppery, oaky goodness. -
Creag Isle Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed July 1, 2021 (edited September 17, 2021)Ran across this hidden gem while buying bourbon. For the price you can't beat it. After letting it breathe for 5 min, I took a sip. Wasn't a fan. Felt smooth but damn near watery. A few more sips and it gradually won me over. Smells of moderate peat, vanilla, allspice and pepper. Smoky but not heavy, pleasantly spicy and interesting medicinal finish. I'll stock up while it's cheap. -
GlenDronach Original 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed June 27, 2021 (edited September 17, 2021)Very floral, hint of salt, vanilla and richness. Reminds me of a decadent dessert with a treat of heat on the backside. Love the finish. It lingers.
