Ron Diplomático Distillery Collection No.2 Barbet Rum
Aged Rum — Venezuela
Reviewed July 21, 2018 (edited October 21, 2021)Not really sure why folks rate this so low. It is an excellent rum, albeit a little pricey. It is just not as icky sweet as the Reserva Exclusiva. I found it to be an excellent sipping rum.80.0 USD per Bottle -
Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 16, 2018 (edited July 21, 2018)One of the whiskeys I chose for a recent blind tasting. Of the four whiskeys tasted, the panel rated this one 3.7/5 which ended up being our winner (averaged scores). Everyone felt it was an exceptional whiskey, although not worth the $120 price tag. -
Wow! This rum's reputation really precedes it! Beautiful amber in the glass. On the nose I get some dark fruity notes, I am thinking figs and stewed apples. Tons caramel, sugar, vanilla, and a nice oakiness. Palate: wow you can tell this is full proof but in a good way. No holding back on the flavors. Really full bodied/viscous mouthfeel, lots of burnt sugar/creme brulee, and dark candied fruits. Oak and some nice char really come through on the finish. Super smooth and long finish.

David Nicholson Reserve Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky (bottled in Missouri), USA
Reviewed March 28, 2018 (edited March 5, 2019)Very surprised at the flavor of this bourbon for the price point. Very nice light amber in the glass. On the nose I get corn, caramel, some candied cherries, oak, and slight vanilla. On the palate it has a nice rye spiciness to it and most of what I got on the nose comes through. Medium-long finish. Excellent bourbon in my opinion! -
Rhum Barbancourt 5 Star 8 Year
Rhum Agricole Vieux — Haiti
Reviewed March 27, 2018 (edited July 21, 2018)Very light overall in nose and palate. Gave it a few moments and it opened up a little. Get a lot of vegetal notes on the nose, burnt sugar, brown sugar, vanilla. On the palate I get light brown sugar, caramel, more intense vanilla, some dried fruit (maybe fig?). Finish is medium with a slight bitterness. Overall a good sipping rum, but not overly complex. Something I could easily drink neat or with 1 ice cube during the summer.
