Not the most complex or refined, but it's flavors are strong and good - smoke, bbq, almond cake - thanks to the high proof, which makes it a satisfying whiskey to sip slowly. The branding is pretty silly, but does capture the aggressive, unsubtle approach of this whisky. Reminds me of Lost Spirits Abomination.

George Dickel Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky 11 Year (Fall 2008)
Tennessee — Tennessee, USA
Tasted January 9, 2022The nose is subtle. On the pallette, I get nuts, fruits (a little cherry), and cinnamon. It's rich, but not oily. The finish is satisfying, where a little barrel oak shows up. -
Joseph Magnus Triple Cask Finished Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana (Finished and Bottled in Washington DC), USA
Tasted December 5, 2021It has a lot of the dessert-like, baking, accessible flavors that make bourbon so good, but without being very sweet. I also get a lot of cinnamon, and a bit of spice. This gives it an interesting flavor, and one I I really like. You might think of it like a very tasty, old fashioned candy. -
Lagavulin 9 Year (Game of Thrones-House Lannister)
Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Tasted June 27, 2020Very good. If this came from another distiller, I would be impressed by the peat and smoke notes. But since this is a lagavulin, I can't help but wish that these notes were as strong as they are in the 16-year, or even 8-year.
