  1. Smokehead High Voltage

    Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

    Tasted March 27, 2022
    4.0
    4.0 out of 5 stars
    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.

  2. Redbreast 15 Year

    Single Pot Still — Ireland

    Tasted February 5, 2022

    Core flavors are similar to the 12 (malty, honeydew), but smoother over the tongue and warmer in the chest. I think some of the earthy flavors are subdued, and some of the citrus is a little more pronounced. Creates a cleaner taste. Really good!

  3. George Dickel Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky 11 Year (Fall 2008)

    Tennessee — Tennessee, USA

    Tasted January 9, 2022

    The 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.

  4. Joseph Magnus Triple Cask Finished Bourbon

    Bourbon — Indiana (Finished and Bottled in Washington DC), USA

    Tasted December 5, 2021
    4.0
    4.0 out of 5 stars
    It 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.

  5. Balcones Lineage Texas Single Malt

    American Single Malt — Texas, USA

    Tasted October 17, 2021
    3.5
    3.5 out of 5 stars
    Distinctive and tasty. I get a kind of spicy chocolate flavor, but without either too much sweetness or bitterness. Has some of the flavors that I really like in other Balcones whiskeys, though nothing quite like the Brimstone.

  6. Balcones Texas Pot Still Bourbon

    Bourbon — Texas, USA

    Woodshop oil on the nose. Cinnamon spice, a little sweet, a little molasses. Deep, spicy finish. Not at all a classic bourbon, but excellent. Has more of what makes the Brimstone (a personal favorite) so great than I expected.

    Briney nose. Peat comes in the middle, but not as smokey as some. Smooth but strong at first, with a bit of spice at the end. Really excellent.

    American Single Malt — Oregon, USA

    Tasted July 10, 2020
    3.5
    3.5 out of 5 stars
    Youthful, but not unpleasant. Feels more likely than deep. Honey nut Cheerios on the nose. A little smokey, but less than expected. Short finish.

  9. Lagavulin 9 Year (Game of Thrones-House Lannister)

    Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

    Tasted June 27, 2020

    3.5 out of 5 stars
    Very 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.

    Weird, really weird. Tastes like horse food, but in a way that is more fascinating than off putting.
