Macallan 18 Year Sherry Oak Cask
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed August 9, 2018 (edited September 15, 2018)I’m just not wired to be a fan of Macallan, but this is definitely the best I’ve tasted of their lineup. A very good whiskey without as much complexity as I expected, just a smooth floral sweetness. Reminds me more of bourbon than scotch, with a calmer bite. -
Incredible. I understand why this is Ron Swanson’s drink of choice. I’ll copy my tasting note from last year: “First sniff transports me to a earthy ocean beach at twilight watching the sun descend over the water. The first taste packs a wallop, reminiscent of my bottle of Laphroaig 10 back home. Salty sea breeze, mixed with earthy, mushroom, and meaty undertones. The finish of campfire is bold, yet not over-asserting. A true gentleman's pour.”

Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon

Reviewed December 15, 2017 (edited January 10, 2020)This is wonderful. On the sweet side, but has some complexity unlike a lot of bourbon I’ve tried. If the price was right, I would buy this. Got to try from Philip. -
