Lismore Single Malt
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed September 15, 2021 (edited June 22, 2023)Smooth and easy. Honey and lemon peel on the nose with a smoky, peaty taste up front. The thing is the lemon is so subtle as to bring to mind lemon blossoms rather than lemon peel. Or perhaps both. Either way it’s nice. The smoky, peaty taste gives way soon enough returning to honey and lemon, leaving a deliciously subtle, delicate scotch for sipping, or for pairing with tobaccos. This is a great scotch for non-scotch drinkers, or for paring with a fine tobacco when you do not want bold scotch flavors to over power your tobaccos. -
1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed September 15, 2021 (edited October 19, 2021)Rich, hot, and a little sweet. I drink this over a big block of ice. Roasted bananas and caramel corn right on the nose. Hints of caramel corn and buttery corn bread up front, a feeling of honey, and the scent of toasted marshmallows linger on the finish. Also lingering in the finish are flavors of fried bananas, baked apples, and a hint of orange peel.
