Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed December 28, 2019 (edited December 29, 2019)Smells deep and fruity, like cherry and honey. Tons of kick and burn, but you can taste the usual jack flavors in there. Smells better than it tastes honestly. Caramel, oak, and for some reason I always taste peanuts with Jack. Personally think Gentleman is a better choice.The Whisky Bar -
George Dickel Barrel Select
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed December 28, 2019 (edited May 13, 2020)Light wood aroma, and maybe a sour smell. Mostly vanilla and oak on the tongue. Interesting sour flavor too, must be cherry. Creamy mouthfeel. Not too rich, but some cream on the tail.The Whisky Bar -
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
