Remus Volstead Reserve 14 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Indiana, USA
Reviewed December 8, 2019 (edited August 15, 2023)Nose: neat: anise, caramel, vanilla, rye bread. As it opens some the licorice notes seem to dominate. Even later fresh citrus. With water: more caramel and malt takes the wheel on the nose. Orange citrus notes emerge late. Body: neat: medium Palate: neat: licorice, vanilla, toffee, caramel. With water: interestingly I think the water brought out a peppery component I was surprised to see. Finish: medium with sweetness lingering, honey and hints of fresh cut grass. The only issue here is that it’s too short, I just want the flavor to last. Note: this is very nice neat. Amazing no. Very good yes. The licorice and sweetness are interesting. This is a very good dram. Layers of flavor are nice and interesting. Well put together and very smooth. Very enjoyable. -

Floral herbaceous Body: medium Palate: smoky like whiffs of burnt caramel, sweet vanilla and caramel flavors evolve in waves, this is really really good stuff. Sherry pops out Finish: medium and evolving, only wished it lasted longer but it’s crazy smooth. Note: really incredible juice. So subtle yet distinctive.

Benromach 10 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed November 28, 2019 (edited October 10, 2020)Had at bluefin bay 2019 thanksgiving dinner. It nosed sweet and malty. Initial taste was a little peppery and alcohol forward. But with one ice cube it was very fruity, malty, sweet with vanilla and toffe and a small amount of smoke. Body and finish are medium and really delicious. Maybe not as much stewed fruit as the 15 but really tasty
