Westland Sherry Wood American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Washington , USA
Reviewed March 10, 2023Honey color. On the nose I get baked apples, honey nut cheerios, dogwood flowers, and hints of vanilla, cinnamon and allspice. Robust, velvety mouthfeel. The palate has cinnamon apples, baked apple peels, buttery pie crust, honey, and hints of vanilla extract and rose water. The finish is short-to-medium, lead by notes of white grapes, apple peels, vanilla extract and honey.75.0 USD per Bottle -
Ruddy copper color. The nose has salted caramel, maple candy, cigar tobacco, and mocha. Heavy, warm mouthfeel. On the palate I get cocoa nibs, dark maple syrup, baked apples, freshly ground coffee, ground nutmeg, with a hint of cigar tobacco and some tannic oak. The finish is medium-long and hot, with toasted cinnamon stick, black pepper, brown sugar and tannic oak. The finish is not as long as a typical ECBP, but I love the nose and appreciate the fine balance between sweet, spice and tannins.65.0 USD per Bottle

Copper color. On the nose I get cinnamon apples, vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, and faint wintergreen. The mouthfeel is heavy and warm. On the palate I get black tea, toasted cinnamon stick, spearmint leaves and a hint of coffee. The finish is medium-long with more black tea and spearmint, along with cinnamon, clove and some black pepper. The bottle says this is at least 3 years old but it tastes much older.80.0 USD per Bottle

Deep copper color. The nose feels viscous and leads with cinnamon maple syrup, along with some clove, vanilla and cake batter. Dense, hot mouthfeel. The palate has more fruit notes than the nose hints at, with maraschino cherry syrup, red apples, and medjool dates, along with toasted cinnamon stick, allspice, vanilla bean, and buttered biscuits. The finish is long, hot and dry, with more of the buttery bread note and lingering baking spices, with a faint note of spearmint that leaves the tongue tingling a little. Larceny Barrel Proof releases have been hit or miss for me but this one is excellent!70.0 USD per Bottle

On the nose I get banana taffy, over-ripe mango and papaya, orange zest, burnt sage, black tea and a hint of clove. The mouthfeel is heavy and hot. On the palate, I get notes of mango, watermelon, pineapple nectar, sage, grated ginger, black tea, burnt cinnamon stick, and white pepper. The palate is long and warming, led by the tropical fruit that leads to the peppery conclusion.40.0 USD per Bottle

Ruddy copper color. The nose is rich with orchard fruits, vanilla, and lightly tannic oak. The mouthfeel is unfortunately thin, and would benefit from a higher ABV. On the palate I get baked red apples, white grapes, vanilla, Graham crackers, ground nutmeg, yuzu, and, strangely, water. It is as if I can actually taste the water they used to dilute this down to 40%. The finish is medium length, with vanilla, baked apples, and faint citrus. Overall, this is really good but would be so much improved with a higher ABV.70.0 USD per Bottle

Dulce Vida Añejo 100 Proof Tequila
Tequila Añejo — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed December 7, 2022Liquor Junction single barrel store pick Lot 608 Barrel 4 Aged 29 months in a Beam bourbon barrel Straw color. The nose has vegetal agave sweetness, charred marshmallows, and maybe it's the season but I'm getting something that reminds me of snow cream (essentially vanilla extract and condensed milk). The mouthfeel is surprisingly thick and velvety. On the palate I get agave, wet stone, charred jalapeños, vanilla extract, and black pepper. The finish is medium-long, nicely warming, and peppery. The vanilla extract transitions nicely to butterscotch, and the vegetal sweetness is present in the background.50.0 USD per BottleLiquor Junction -

Barrel 8842 107.2 proof Deep copper color. The nose has a lot of caramel, vanilla ice cream and Red Hots cinnamon candy, along with baked bread and a hint of chocolate-peppermint candy. Dense, slightly oily mouthfeel. The palate has more of that vanilla ice cream with salted caramel drizzle, with charred cinnamon stick, ground nutmeg, black pepper and a good amount of sweet oak. The finish is medium-long and heavy on the vanilla ice cream, baking spices and sweet oak. This is excellent and totally crushable, and I wish I had another bottle.53.0 USD per Bottle
