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. -

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. -
Bear Moon American Whiskey
Other Whiskey — California, USA
Reviewed July 4, 2020 (edited October 20, 2020)This whiskey is a bit of a mystery. Bear Moon Spirits website does not even list a whiskey. Found a bottle at a discount grocery store for $14.99 What do you get for that price? A surprisingly decent whiskey. It's light bodied with a little sweet corn and malt, slight astringency and a slightly spicy finish. -
Glendronach Cask Bottling 2008 K&L
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed July 2, 2020 (edited July 24, 2020)Initial impressions of a neck pour with a teaspoon of water. The whiskey feels substantial with fat oloroso notes, great creamy palate and superb long spicy finish. Will be interesting to see how this bottle develops over time. -
Westward American Single Malt
American Single Malt — Oregon, USA
Reviewed June 23, 2020 (edited July 23, 2020)It's got a yeasty, funky, stinky note at first on the nose, which dissipates over time, but never really goes away. It reduces enough to reveal berries and citrus. It's light on the palate with sweet fruit, malt and a hint of the funky yeast. Shortish, spicy finish. -

American Single Malt — Washington , USA
Reviewed June 23, 2020 (edited July 3, 2020)Young and spirity with stone fruits, citrus and malt. A splash of water helps tame the beast.
