Tequila Ocho Plata Mesa Colorada 2023
Tequila Blanco — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed May 20, 2023This is a subtle tequila that really blossoms the more you sit with it. On the nose I get agave, citrus, petrichor, and wet stone. The mouthfeel is pillowy and slightly oily, but simultaneously light and refreshing. On the palate, I get agave, lime zest, vanilla, roasted nopales, wet stone, and hints of green melon and rose water. The finish is long, warm and peppery, with more roasted nopales, wet stone and vegetal sweetness.60.0 USD per Bottle -
Mahogany color. The nose has a lot of caramel, milk chocolate and tobacco, along with some caramelized banana, vanilla ice cream and ground nutmeg. Warm and heavy mouthfeel. The palate has more caramel and tobacco, with a little banana, raisins, and cinnamon toothpicks. The finish is medium-length and more spicy than the palate, lead by some charred cinnamon stick, ground nutmeg, and sea salt, with hints of caramel, vanilla and a faint note of something like truffles, and the last notes I'm left with are some white pepper and young oak.62.0 USD per Bottle

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A123
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 14, 2023 (edited April 12, 2023)Ruddy copper color. The nose has salted caramel, maple candy, cigar tobacco, and mocha. Heavy, warm mouthfeel.

The finish is medium-long and hot, with toasted cinnamon stick, black pepper, brown sugar and tannic oak.

Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C922
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 27, 2023 (edited June 17, 2023)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

Delord Armagnac 25 Year
Armagnac — Bas-Armangac, France
Reviewed December 13, 2022 (edited January 18, 2024)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
