Bunnahabhain 2008 Mòine Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Matured
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed March 24, 2022 (edited November 21, 2022)Incredibly strong barbeque smoke aroma, much more mesquite than peat. Flavor is much better and more complex. Huge wood kick followed by tangy wine sweetness. Like peppered bacon. Barbeque smoke on the tail, powerful and unique.Bunnahabhain Distillery -
Bunnahabhain 18 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed March 24, 2022 (edited September 28, 2022)Fruty sweet aroma, some depth to it but tons of fruit. Raisins and peaches. Sweet smooth caramel and fruit on the tongue, creamy fire with a lengthy woody tail. Excellently crafted.Bunnahabhain Distillery -
Spiced oak aroma, musty and aged like mahogany. Smallest hint of sweetness toasted caramel. Touch of acetone too. Same flavor profile dominates the palate, a complex wash of wood, seems like more woods than just oak but I don't really know. The tail feels longer than the body, there's a good amount of creamy richness but I expected a tad more for the age. The tail still carries the flavor beautifully long into a tingly woody tail. Just like the nose, sweetness is there but takes a backseat. Vanilla and darker caramel sauce. Taste more honey as I sip. The bar's bottle was rather low, I wonder if maybe it has oxidized a bit.Van Winkle - West End

Deanston Virgin Oak
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed March 15, 2022 (edited July 18, 2022)Mellow sweet aroma. Maybe some peach or fruit? Strong peach flavor on the tongue, but not much else. Medium rich, short tail. Pleasant, but a little one dimensional. -
John J Bowman Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed March 12, 2022 (edited May 19, 2022)strong wood aroma, very nice. Wood spice on the tongue, light caramel underneath. Fiery and tingly, pepper and cinnamon. Spice takes the front seat but the sweetness tempers it. Fantastic.The Barrel Thief
