Westward American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Oregon, USA
Reviewed July 29, 2020 (edited October 8, 2022)Bottle kill/drain dump review. Shared with a group of friends (socially distanced of course) about a week after opening. It was one of their favorites out of a flight of 6 American whiskies and I didn’t mind it terribly. Shared again last weekend with a different group and it was absolute least favorite. This bottle was only open about 6 weeks and the stinky, yeasty note just got more and more pronounced. Dumped the last 1/8th bottle down the drain. Guess the morale of the story is to drink it quickly if you get a bottle. -
Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 13
Bourbon — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed July 28, 2020 (edited October 14, 2020)Wow, really feel the abv on this one. First sip burned all the way to my stomach. After I added a healthy dose of water I still feel the heat but liked it much better. Notes of cherries, oak, brown sugar, toffee and some astringency. Long finish. -
Willett Family Estate Small Batch Rye 4 Year
Rye — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 24, 2020 (edited August 3, 2020)Fantastic! Chocolate bread, vanilla, rye, baking spices and a hint of cinnamon. Best thing is none of the eucalyptus or mint notes, which I generally get with rye whiskies and don’t enjoy. Looong spicy finish. -
Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed July 8, 2020 (edited June 30, 2021)Gingerbread, honey, tropical fruits and acetone on the nose, semi-sweet and viscous on the palate, the honey and tropical fruits are there but muted, the medium finish is warming and spicey. -
Kinsey American Whiskey 10 Year
Other Whiskey — (bottled in) Pennsylvania, USA
Reviewed July 7, 2020 (edited August 19, 2023)A light bodied whiskey with notes of honey, corn and some light spices. Short spicy finish. -
Barrell Whiskey American Vatted Malt June 25, 2019
Other Whiskey — (bottled in) Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 6, 2020 (edited October 27, 2022)This was a fun one to end a flight of American Whiskeys. It seemed pretty hot to me so I added a healthy dose of water. Fruity, sweet, savory and smokey. Empty glass is amazing. So many notes, so little time. Will need to taste again on its own to really appreciate the complexity. Bottle kill: I didn’t get any better notes. It’s just fun to drink. Oily, malty, fruity, sweet, savory and smokey. A bit hot. Empty glass is still amazing. -
Bull Run American Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — Oregon, USA
Reviewed July 6, 2020 (edited July 8, 2020)Vanilla and sharp wine notes on the nose, the red wine note is prominent on the palate with vanilla and spices peeking through, the medium finish is warming and spicy with more vanilla and red wine. Quite tasty.
