Glen Grant The Major's Reserve
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed August 1, 2021 (edited August 11, 2021)1Aug back2back tasting: caramel, spicy grain, toast -
On ice. This is like liquid rum cake. When warm the alcohol is a little hot, but that's the first thing to go as it cools. It's so buttery it coats your lips. It would feel almost too dessert-y if it didn't dry up fairly quick and leave you with some allspice and black pepper. And the butterscotch flavor seems genuine. You could sip this after dinner in a snifter but on ice is perfect for me, you get a full range of character

Knappogue Castle 12 Year Bourbon Cask Matured
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed March 16, 2021 (edited March 19, 2021)Minty, tons of bourbon and wood, I would probably enjoy it more in a cocktail, very clean and bright, probably a great Irish whiskey if you like bourbon -
Back to back with Lagavulin 16, and you can taste the difference in those 4 years. Less fruit, less wood, but more iodine, more gasoline and seaweed, wonderful peat presence, it's a great expression of the style just with a little less depth than Lagavulin, still a great go-to for a more mature peat than, say, Ardbeg or Laphroaig
