The bottle certainly is artsy. The whiskey maybe not so decadent. Nose: Restrained and subtle, but what’s there is very good. Toffee, honey, apples, licorice, red fruits, nuts and herbal notes. Palate: Again restrained, slick, rounded, spicy and semisweet with dried red fruits, honey, licorice, walnuts, savory notes, hints of chocolate and vanilla. Finish: Long, savory and spicy.

Virginia Distillery Co. Port Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky
Blended Malt — Multiple Countries
Reviewed May 6, 2025 (edited May 10, 2025)Nose: So fruity and luscious! Port, mulled wine, dark berries, malt, baking spices, hints of chocolate and vanilla. Palate: A bit youthful, yet slick and malty with port, mulled wine, vanilla, honey, baking spices, dark berries, chocolate, citrus and herbal notes. Finish: Medium length, warming, mildly spicy, malty, and semisweet. For me, the youthfulness is mitigated by the great Port cask notes.22.99 USD per BottleGrocery Outlet -
Wharehouse K, Floor 7, 65.6 ABV Nose does not reveal the proof, it’s full on caramel! There’s a hint of caraway, baking spices and buttered rye bread. Plate is way too hot. An ice cube makes it tolerable. It’s semisweet. There are some nice brown sugar, oak caramel, baking spices and vanilla notes. It also has a bitter component I dont care for. Finish is a mix of bitter and sweet, somewhat lengthy.

Balvenie 14 Year American Bourbon Barrel
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed May 3, 2025 (edited May 4, 2025)Distller Review No. 900 In typical Balvenie fashion, at least in my experience, this was disappointing at first taste. It’s now been open a couple months, about 3/4 of the bottle remaining, and it’s starting to blossom. Fresh apples, dried fruits, honey, barrel spices, barley sugar, and just a hint of peat, all combine to make this a delicious whisky. -
Tamdhu Batch Strength Batch 007
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed April 27, 2025 (edited April 30, 2025)Neat was ok, it’s rich, semisweet, spicy, but everything was too intense. After a dribble of water, it’s still intense, but more enjoyable, as dark chocolate, orange peel, raisin, cinnamon and other baking spice, leather, nuts, oak and vanilla notes shine through.49.99 USD per Bottle -
Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Reposado
Tequila Reposado — Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed April 24, 2025 (edited April 29, 2025)Pleasant, enjoyable tequila. A bit buttery and creamy on the entry with baked agave, vanilla, caramel, baking spices, citrus, black pepper and oak notes. Slightly bittersweet on the long finish.
