Clonakilty Port Cask Finish Irish Whiskey
Blended — Ireland
Reviewed September 11, 2021 (edited March 25, 2022)There’s a powerful fruity note on the nose which reminds me of powdered kool-aid fruit punch mix. It dissipates with time in the glass allowing some honey and vanilla to poke through. Semi-sweet, a little viscous and peppery with vanilla and strawberry notes on the palate. Medium finish is slightly bitter and peppery. -

Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso Matured
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed September 8, 2021 (edited October 16, 2023)Batch OL0516, 60.4 ABV. Subdued sherry, oak and orange zest on the nose, fruit, oak and nuts on the palate, heat builds over time, long spicy finish. A bit of water toned down the heat while adding more nuttiness. This felt not as aggressive as Batch OL1117, but there was not a significant difference between the Batches.40.0 USD per Bottle -
