Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban Port Cask Finish 14 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed December 26, 2019Mild sweet aroma that I can't place. It's wonderful though. Flavor is also mild, mostly that sweetness. Light and approachable, light body and not much of a tail. Sweetness is maybe just sugar, like simple syrup.The Barrel Thief -
Super wood forward, but amazing aroma. Oak flavor, light sweetness underneath, and then a long tail with richness and alcohol burn. It's strange I'd expect the wood to be kind of one dimensional but I love it anyway. A small step below the American oak label for me. Some smoke on the tailThe Barrel Thief

Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed December 26, 2019 (edited July 8, 2020)Sweet wood aroma mixed with rum. Bright and sweet sugar cane flavor, medium richness but the balance is almost perfect. Unqiue because of the rum flavor as well.The Barrel Thief -
Smells like Laphroaig dialed up to ten. Super strong smoke smell, smells more like campfire to me than peat. On the tongue is a bit mellower than I expected. The flavor is peat, but it's not overpowering. Tastes like a slightly better 10 year, especially with the richness. Reminds me of lagavulin.The Barrel Thief

Aberlour 12 Year Double Cask Matured
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed December 26, 2019 (edited January 1, 2021)Super sweet aroma light oak underneath. The flavor is honey and fruit, but remarkably well balanced. Medium richness, oak flares up mostly on the tail. Sweetness at the beginning slides right into the Woody end. Easy to drink.Sky View Observatory - Columbia Center -
Evan Williams Single Barrel
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 26, 2019 (edited January 7, 2020)Mostly rich oak on the nose. Maybe some dark fruit. Super interesting sweet flavor, molasses and peaches. It's a dark low flavor with almost no burn at all. Medium body and tail, though still feels a little thick. Super drinkable since there's not much bite at all. Let's the sweetness shine. There's something unique about the flavor too, medicinal maybe. Very nice.The Whisky Bar
