Absinthe — California, USA
Reviewed June 7, 2019 (edited January 27, 2024)dark dark herbal green. anise and mint and sweetness on the nose. anise dominates on the palate, with mint and herbs and alcohol heat. coating oily mouthfeel. afertaste is long, sweet fading to dry, and then mint and stinging nettles leave a tingling sensation on lips and tongue. big big flavors. like all the St Georges products, this is quality, well made and inventive. may not work in some lighter cocktails, but this is my favorite absinthe.

Balcones Texas Single Malt
American Single Malt — Texas, USA
Reviewed May 22, 2019 (edited February 12, 2024)Oak and carmel on the nose. Explosion of oak, ethanol heat, and spicy sweet grain in the mouth. A little linseed oil, oak, and eucalyptus astringency between the mouth and finish. Then vanilla, nuts, earthy cereal and malt, oak and spice on the long finish. A big whisky that will open up with a little water/ice. It's also young, and would probably be a lot more interesting with more time in wood. Would help justify the hefty price too. Still, worth experiencing another unusual (in a good sense) product from an inventive distillery. -
Batch 161, ca.2019. Beautiful color. Light floral vanilla and tropical fruit on the nose. Sweet grain, light honey, floral and vanilla oak in the mouth. Medium viscous mouth feel and quick clean finish with lingering oak and spice. Good, not bad sipping, but not as memorable as I'd hoped at this proof (would be interesting to try this at 100-110).
