Port Charlotte MRC:01 2010
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed February 4, 2022 (edited February 28, 2022)Color me not impressed. Its not without merit, but it’s too hot, the wine finish overwhelms the whiskey, it tastes overly oaky. Water did not help. Open less than a week. Maybe it will oxidize well. -
Port Charlotte 10 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed February 4, 2022 (edited October 22, 2022)Sweet peat, lemons, smoked brisket, hints of red fruit, long finish. Very good! -
Bunnahabhain 18 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed January 30, 2022 (edited February 23, 2022)Incredible whiskey! Sherry, caramel, chocolate, orange, sea salt, semisweet, so silky and easy to drink, no note out of place, lasting finish. -
Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed January 30, 2022 (edited March 25, 2022)Salt, figs, nuts, sherry, sweet, oily, hot on the finish. A nice dram. -
Remus Repeal Reserve Series V (2021 Medley)
Bourbon — Indiana , USA
Reviewed January 27, 2022 (edited February 10, 2022)Another one that just keeps getting better as I move through the bottle. Nose is simply fantastic with cherry, caramel, chocolate, powdered sugar and tobacco notes. Palate is fruity and sweet, not cloying, with leather, honey and baking spices. Finish is super long and moderately spicy with tobacco and baking spice notes. -
Kentucky Owl 11 Year Rye (Batch #2)
Rye — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed January 26, 2022 (edited August 21, 2023)This has been hard to peg. Each time I taste it, I like it a little more. It’s rich, compact and complex, maybe too complex for my palate. Latest tasting reveals a still restrained nose. Palate has butterscotch, cherries and baking spices. Long warming finish. Bottle kill: This just got better and better towards the end. I was sad to see it go. Bumped 1/4 point.199.99 USD per Bottle -
Heaven's Door Straight Rye Whiskey
Rye — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed January 18, 2022 (edited November 22, 2022)Oh man, the nose on this is fantastic! Perfumed, floral, caramel, anise, chocolate, orange peel, leather and vanilla. 4.5 Palate: Somewhat young, bitter, sweet, oaky, caramel, cocoa, spice and a bit of vanilla and butterscotch. 3.5 Finish: Long & peppery, light caramel and citrus. 3.25 Averaged out to 3.75 -
BHAKTA 50 Year Brandy
Other Brandy — Armagnac , France
Reviewed January 11, 2022 (edited June 1, 2023)The Lohengrin Barrel #6 ABV 47.2 Initial tasting notes: Super silky, strawberry, raspberry, vanilla, oak, crispy caramel, smoke and menthol notes all subtle, refined and harmonious. Bottle kill 6-1-23 This doesn’t really live up to the hype. It is still really good, notes are consistent, and I would gladly drink more of it at a more realistic price. Dropped a 1/4 point. -
Plantation Single Cask Guatemala XO 2019
Aged Rum — Guatemala
Reviewed January 10, 2022 (edited January 16, 2022)Uncorked this tonight, and liked it quite well. It’s very compact and rich with notes of cinnamon, coffee, nuts, fresh earth, ethanol, barrel spices, vanilla and tropical fruits. A little bitterness on the lengthy finish.
