Brilliant deep straw to light golden. Not really pale. Intense nose of apple, pear, flowers, cold pineapple and light peach over cool rainwet rock. Medium bodied textured attack. Fruit forward with elegant apples and mineral texture. Light orange zest. Dry, but smooth and with good length. No overdriven oak or spices, really transparent and refreshing.

Medium amber colour. Intense rich nose of banana peel, toasted spices and raisins. Complex with tones of woodwork and malted grain. Round attack with lots of spices and medicinal herbs. Almost like a bitter with its punchy alcohol, but over a softer body. Incredible length and depth and certainly not for the weak of heart. A rustic, artisanal but interesting Rhum with good notes from the oloroso wood. Pricey, but worth it.100.0 USD per BottleOslo

Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 25, 2021 (edited July 25, 2021)Medium honey amber. Round nose of wood lacquer, honey, corn and paint thinner. Not so appealing. Oily and very smooth. Almost none present on the attack. Very round vanilla end with slight wood tannins. More like a Rhum. Smooth, boring and very disappointing. Extremely pricey -
Glenlivet 12 Year Illicit Still
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed January 29, 2021 (edited December 21, 2022)Light amber. Darker colour. Rich and round aroma of toffee, caramel, roasted malt and corn with hints of wood lacquer. Honey and vanilla oak. Full bodied and quite chewy with lots of caramel and a really explosive middle with chocolate and espresso notes. Nice bite without becoming too aggressive or thin. Sweet and round finish with a really nice texture. This is a great buy. Wow! -
Medium deep golden brilliant colour. Round and quite intense aroma of vanilla wafers and wood lacquer. Burnt barley and spicy curd. Sweet, but woody aroma. Soft attack with a touch of sweetness and vanilla. Followed by great warmth and some firmness. The notes of cream cake become apparent in the second sniff. Approachable and well rounded with good identify, but lacking in the middle and some length at this price point.
