Old Grand-Dad Bourbon (80 proof)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 4, 2018 (edited September 25, 2019)Real heavy on the wood, vanilla too, but the wood seems to be prominent. Almost balanced on it's own, needs the tiniest bit of water. Would like more balance to the flavor, there's not enough richness or depth to balance the oak. A little thin. -
Highland Park 12 Year
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed November 4, 2018 (edited November 30, 2018)Deep and rich with wood and smoke dominating. Tastes old, but not as rich as I'd expect. Smooth and balanced. The burn is pretty pleasant, but it's a little intense. It's a magnificent scotch , but not much beyond. Paired with dark chocolate is fucking heaven. Fuck me. -
Wild Turkey 8 Year 101 Proof (Old Label)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 4, 2018 (edited September 18, 2022)It's like drinking black pepper spice. But also rich. No water, just perfection -
Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 4, 2018 (edited November 30, 2018)Cherries. Cherries on the nose and on the palate. Borderline sharp, only burns sometimes. Makes me think of just good, Middle of the road bourbon, very rich. -
Talisker 10 Year
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed November 4, 2018 (edited December 20, 2019)Rich, perfect balance between smoke and spice. Spice is subtle and deep, and smoke is more smoke than peak. This scotch might be perfect. So smooth the burn is minimal. It lingers forever. It's a five. -
Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition
Blended — Scotland
Reviewed November 4, 2018 (edited November 30, 2018)Toffee on the nose and also on the palate, some deep peat smoke underneath that gives it that scotch taste. Rich and oily texture, the spice comes from black pepper and it's a little bit too high-proof so it has a lot of burn, but the richness makes it okay. Needs just a tiny bit of water to cut the burn. Still very nice, love the balance between spice and sweet.
