Very strong aroma, lots of smoke. Slight hint of a sweeter barbeque but it's barely there. Flavor is strong and rich, smoke the dominant flavor but also with heavy spice. Plenty of richness to carry it, excellently blended. As the smoke fades the spice rises and lingers forever. Love it.The Barrel Thief

Macallan Rare Cask
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed November 29, 2021 (edited December 27, 2021)Complex wood aroma. Wood fire and spice on the tongue, pretty rich and incredibly spicy. Love the strength of it. There is fruit sweetness underneath but for me it shows up more on the tail strangely enough. Excellent. -
Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 22, 2021 (edited December 10, 2021)Strong wood and spice aroma, huge kick. Same flavors on the tongue, tail feels long for the medium body, spice comes in hard there and almost gets a little harsh at the end. There's a subtle caramel sweetness underneath a of it, but it takes a backseat. That spice kick is the only thing I don't like.The Barrel Thief -
Edgefield Hogshead Whiskey
Other Whiskey — Oregon, USA
Reviewed November 12, 2021 (edited October 4, 2022)Subtle aroma, dark and Woody. Maybe some toffee. Pretty light body, good oak and spice in the tongue, excellent toffee flavors. Only issue is the body, a bit of richness would carry this wellMcMenamins Mill Creek -
Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 8, 2021 (edited November 13, 2021)Plenty of oak and alcohol burn on the nose. Deep spicy wood flavor, pretty dry. The spice is maybe cinnamon medium to light body, I'm not getting the richness, but the cinnamon pops more on the tail. Excellent fall or winter whiskey.Stampede Cocktail Club
