Talisker 10 Year
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed November 20, 2015 (edited October 31, 2016)Loved how delicate it is, beautiful peat integration. Not as smoky as Laphroaig or Ardberg but equally interesting. Sad it is so expensive here in the US ($70-80 in the Denver Area, can be found for half that in Europe). Update as I finally bought a bottle: even better than I remembered. More fruit on the nose and the palate than any pleated scotch I tried, even reminds me of Oban. Peat is there but more as a canvas than the subject. This one is expensive but there is a reason and the more I come back to it, the more I appreciate it. -
Jura Superstition
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed October 15, 2015 (edited November 9, 2016)Really positively surprised by this one, I had one at the bar of the hotel I am staying and was not expecting such a nice balance between peat and smoothness. Really pleasant, quite a few layers, I need a bottle of it. I am a big fan of Laphroaig and Lagavullin so usually not "scared of the peat" but this restrained peat with smoothness is really pleasant. -

Reviewed September 25, 2015 (edited October 7, 2018)I found it way more pleasant than Stranahan's for half the price, really decent whiskey for that price -
Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey (Discontinued)
American Single Malt — Colorado, USA
Reviewed September 25, 2015 (edited April 24, 2018)Plastic/rubber nose, I was truly disapointed by it. Regret I did not try it with a few drops of water by then but won't waste over $50 for it again...
