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. -

Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed August 14, 2019 (edited August 15, 2019)Stone fruits and sherry on the nose, semi oily palate with stone fruits, sherry, nuts and chocolate notes, the finish is medium length. Can’t beat the price for a single malt scotch, $20 on sale at the local Albertsons. -

Jack Daniel's 1981 Gold Medal
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed August 11, 2019 (edited August 17, 2019)So, I bought this bottle thirteen years ago, back when I thought JD was great and Crown Royal was the best whiskey available. Ignorance was bliss. Now that I just tasted JD no. 7 again, I thought it would be a good time to revisit this one. The nose is bananas and oak just like no. 7, the palate is not quite smooth with some muted oakiness, the finish, not too pleasant with some harsh tones and bitterness. At least the bottle is cool looking. -
Jack Daniel's Old No. 7
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed August 11, 2019 (edited December 21, 2019)I haven’t had JD no. 7 in a few years. This past weekend my brother-in-law objected when I compared it to Budweiser, a decent product for the masses, but not particularly good. So I thought I should taste it again and see if my memory is correct. Yeah, I was right. Sweet bananas and a little oak on the nose, sweet palate and a harsh finish. It is splendid with Coca-Cola, so there’s that. -
Blackened Whiskey
Other Whiskey — Multiple Countries
Reviewed August 9, 2019 (edited September 21, 2019)Batch 91. Musty orange, oak, cinnamon and ethanol on the nose, pretty sweet and smooth with barrel spices on the palate, spicy, peppery medium finish. A splash of water does this no favors. The nose turns sickeningly sweet and the palate becomes harsh. -
