  • Jonah's Curse Black Spiced Rum

    Spiced Rum — USA

    Reviewed July 16, 2022
    2.5
    2.5 out of 5 stars
    Aromas of caramel and dark fruits. Molasses. Plum. Cherry. Vanilla. Banana. Flavor is more of the same but more intense. Heavy burn from the proof. And very sweet. I have quite the sweet tooth so I’d have been swayed if the finish and aftertaste had not gone so rubbery.

    Smoky aroma. The nose seems to pick up the mezcal side more than the tequila side. But agave is definitely in there. Flavor is right in line. Heavy smoke. Light agave. Light sweetness. Some vanilla. But quite a burn on the finish that lasts a while. Heavy vanilla on the second sip. Quite delish

  • 21 Seeds Grapefruit Hibiscus

    Aromas on the very sweet side. Grapefruit is evident. Not sure what hibiscus smells like. Can I assume it’s in there too. Perhaps that’s the floral character. It’s a little lavender highly muted by grape. Flavor keeps those aspects but is not as sweet as the nose would lead you to believe. I think I’d rather smell it than taste it. I mean. It’s not bad. But it smells great.

  • Smokey Joe

    Blended Malt — Islay, Scotland

    Aromas of tobacco and heavy smoke. There’s wood and some fruit notes. Very intense smoke on the flavor too. Peat and smoke. The first flavor and the finish are both smoky but a different type of smoky. The first sip is smoked peat. Or smoked meat. Or smoked newspaper actually. The finish travels into the smoked rubber territory. The burn is nice. I think if the finish were more consistent with the first touch of the tongue I would like this more.

    Decent aroma. Sweet agave. Vanilla. Overchewed bubblegum. No isopropyl on the nose. Flavor was right in line but have to get past the heavy bite from the alcohol. But the vanilla comes back in touching sweetness before fading to a very slight bit of rubberband. Better than I expected.

    Looks and smells of chocolate milk. I could argue fresh baked brownies as well. Very good thick mouthfeel. Obviously chocolate. Brownie batter makes an appearance as well as slight hints of cinnamon. Short finish with only a little alcohol heat. Wish I had the chocolate to compare.

    Bright fruity aromas song with ethanol. Raspberry comes through but so does plastic. There’s a creamy flavor along with that fake flavor.

    Aromas of oak and vanilla. A little spice. Cinnamon. Pepper. Glove has the pepper hitting first but then the vanilla comes if before finishing way too quickly. Not much here.

    Aromas were just typical agave. Maybe a little smoke. But the flavor went full on sweet. Agave sweet. Vanilla sweet. Then a just ever so slight plastic sweet on the aftertaste.

    Vanilla and caramel. Not as smoky as I had hoped since it’s a peaked blend. But it was still tasty
