Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 30, 2020 (edited February 16, 2021)Typical bourbon notes. Sweet, slightly floral, caramel, vanilla, thick mouthfeel. Nice, but it's hard to imagine why one would pay a $20 premium over the small batch. It becomes an even harder pill to swallow given some of the excellent private selections I've had. Not displeased but I won't be buying another bottle any time soon.50.0 USD per Bottle -

Driftless Glen Small Batch Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Wisconsin, USA
Reviewed July 9, 2020 (edited July 10, 2020)Batch 21 | Tastes like a young bourbon with potential. A little cardboardy, a little grainy, a little dry and bitter, with a forgettable finish that disappears pretty rapidly. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with down the road. -
Ardbeg Wee Beastie
Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed July 9, 2020 (edited July 11, 2020)After sitting with this for awhile longer I still don't mind it, but Ardbeg 10 is better and usually just a few dollars more so I'm not sure why you'd choose this over 10. Unless they're planning a price hike on 10 to make this seem like more of a deal. -

Reviewed June 12, 2020 (edited October 29, 2020)sweet & ashy. burns more than one would think for the proof, but not in a bad way. -
Ardbeg Wee Beastie
Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed June 12, 2020 (edited June 24, 2020)Nice to have an Ardbeg in the high $30s. Nothing outstanding or unique, but nothing to complain about either. -
