Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak Cask
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed October 29, 2020 (edited January 13, 2021)My overall favorite or is it? The flavors all come through with balance but yet there’s complexity as it develops on the palate. Good moderately long flavorful finish with no bitterness. This is not that viscous but does have a nice mouthfeel. There’s sherry of course, but easily taste spice and vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange. Really delicious and mouthwatering.77.0 USD per BottleBevMo! -
Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed October 27, 2020 (edited October 29, 2020)Bottled at 43% abv. I really appreciate and enjoy drinking this. The sherry, vanilla, orange, spicy richness and semi long finish is a true treat. Oily and full mouthfeel. I add a couple drops of water, then caramel, brown sugar warming spicy richness and smoke comes through. However, there’s a bitterness that lingers and builds up as you sip which, sometimes, can be annoying. All in all, Delicious.58.0 USD per BottleVons -
Very similar to the 12 double wood, very similar. Main takeaway for me is this 17 has a slight drying and slightly shorter finish with a hint more of bitter oak. The vanilla, sherry and orange is there but doesn’t last as long. For the price, not worth buying over the 12 years old unless it’s a special gift which this is an excellent choice for gifting. For me, the overall enjoyment and value in The Balvenie Double Wood series is in the 12 years old version which I enjoy very much.

Fortaleza Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed August 1, 2020Wow! At first it was cinnamon, agave on the nose. I fought the urge to sip right away thinking it will open up with more agave after a couple minutes which (for my nose) was the case. The taste… agave, cinnamon and citrusy sweetness alone with light barrel and maybe a hint of smoke and maybe some earthy minerals; all fallowed with prickly pepper and warm spice. Finish is medium long is a vanilla-citrusy sweetness, light Smokey finish with that prickly pepper all the way! From the nose to the finish, the agave is very prominently present. Wonderful!! One of my new favorite!63.0 USD per BottleBevMo! -
Patrón Citrónge Orange Liqueur
Triple Sec/Curaçao — Mexico
Reviewed July 27, 2020 (edited November 18, 2023)This makes great Margaritas. Better and less expensive than Cointreau.26.0 USD per Bottle -
Espolòn Blanco Tequila
Tequila Blanco — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed July 22, 2020 (edited June 10, 2021)Agave ethanol nose, sweet citrus taste with peppery smooth finish. Make a fantastic margarita with a slightly wonderful peppery finish. And with the price factor, this is a great tequila. Probably would pay the $30 MSRP.18.0 USD per BottleVons
