  • Agavero

    Other Whiskey — Envasado, Mexico

    Reviewed March 4, 2022

    Sweet and light (by liqueur standards). Benefits from ice or mixing. I can barely detect the tequila flavors, but they are there. Good with coffee. This is a distant, Mexican cousin of Drambuie - nothing wrong with that.

  • Talisker Storm

    This has a fair amount of peat and iodine in its scent and flavor, a bit like Laphroaig in that way. There is also some smoothing sweetness from cask aging - vanilla and caramel, a bit of citrus too.. Very little of the pepper flavor I usually associate with Talisker. Not bad, and not what I expected. That said, for this sort of whisky, I would prefer Highland Park.

    This basically tastes like what it is, peated Bunnahabhain. It's not heavy or overly smoky, but the peat smoke and some oceanic flavors of iodine and brine are there along with some sweetness typical of this distillery. It is nice and smooth - I definitely like it.

    This dusty bottle has been just OK for me over the years. Basically, it is a bit sweeter and less peppery - not really peppery at all. Basically, a pleasant mild sweetish whisky with a bit of the Talisker edge. I prefer Talisker 10, 18, etc.

    Actually not bad. Smells like coconuts (shocking, I know). Reasonably clean coconut flavor with moderate sweetness. Ice blunts the sweetness somewhat, leaving it tasting like chilled and lightly sweetened coconut water. You could do worse - this is much smoother and more subtle than Malibu.

    Sweet and edgy, obvious sherry fruitcake flavor up front followed by a fairly sharp, spirity burn right through the finish. Sort of a bourbon-like oak flavor at the end, as well. Not bad, but I prefer the standard Redbreast.

    Nice robust Aquavit brought over from Norway. Spirity scent with some anise and caraway. The taste has a definite hit of black licorice / anise, along with some oak and a bit of cherry-like fruitiness. Just a bit of a smoky burn at the end. Definitely flavorful.

    It's Talisker 10 with a dollop of sweetness, like maple syrup or dessert wine, and maybe a bit of coffee bitterness added as well. The usual toasty, peppery, warming Talisker flavors are there too, though just a touch muted compared to the 10 year old version. Lots of flavors, and they play well together. Great on a cool autumn evening. (2013 bottling)

    This was my least favorite of the three non-alcoholic Seedlip "spirits" that I've tried. Smells like intense, slightly rotting herbs and sliced heirloom tomatoes - yikes! The taste is somewhat more tolerable, with some more citrus to go with herbs, but again with the raw unseasonned tomato flavor which did not sit well with me. Mixers like tonic diluted but did not improve the flavors. I would only recommend this for a virgin Bloody Mary - nothing else.

    Mild and smooth, just a bit of smoke and a bit more of sea brine. Mostly, smooth flavors of dry aged sherry, dried cherries, baking spices, along with some finished oak scents. I always like this as a mellow but deeply flavored whisky.
