Quarter Horse Kentucky Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 30, 2019 (edited July 18, 2022)On the nose i get corn bread, butter scotch candy, musty hay and some cooking spices, the palate is creamy and smooth with a hint of the butter scotch and corn bread, the finish is hot, as one would expect from a whiskey this young, and short with some musty corn. -
This was on the clearance rack at Bevmo. I read the reviews and they weren't very encouraging, but I'm a sucker for a sale, so I bought it anyway. This is a bottle from batch 66. On to the tasting. I get cotton candy, candy corn, pralines, rye and a fair amount of alcohol on the nose, the palate is sweet and smooth with a hint of cola and the longer I held it the hotter it got, the finish was hot to me and seemed to last a long time with the cola and candy corn hiding in the background.

Glenmorangie Nectar D'or 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed August 28, 2019 (edited September 2, 2019)Stone fruit, lemon with a hint of smoke and oaky chardonnay on the nose, the palate is smooth and creamy, a little nutty and oaky, the light smoke makes a reprise on the medium length finish. This was quite hot when first tasted, after it sat for 1/2 hour the heat dissipated. -
Shieldaig Highland Single Malt
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed August 27, 2019 (edited September 25, 2022)Peat smoke, band aids and cured ham on the nose. Wow! Did not expect it to be this good. The palate is smooth and tasty with a little brine and toffe, finish is medium length and shows the youth a little. -
Glen Fohdry 12 Year Aiteal an Òir Single Malt
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed August 27, 2019 (edited December 29, 2021)Let this one breath a long time. Salted carmel, apples and oak on the nose, the salted Carmel and apples continue on the creamy palate, the finish is hot for a 12 year old, oaky and medium length. A splash of water turns everything oaky, better off without it. -

Singleton of Auchroisk
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed August 20, 2019 (edited August 21, 2019)Found this today at a little out of the way liquor store near the job site for about $60. On the bottle it says was distilled in 1983 and bottled in 1994 at 43% abv. Couldn't find much info on it, so I took a gamble and hoped it was good. For the initial tasting I get orchard fruit, sherry, a little oak, some honey and slight anise on the nose, the palate is creamy, rich, warm and smooth, the finish is longish and very pleasant with some raisin notes. Overall, I am very happy with this whiskey purchase. I may have to go back and buy the other 3 bottles.
