Lagavulin 8 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed September 7, 2023 (edited September 8, 2023)A suprising and enjoyable addition to the lagavulin family. Very light in color, the nose is bright, smokey but with a lovely sweet note, palate seemed dry, slightly bitter with notes of toasted oats, campfire, and maybe pear. Add a few drops of water and things really get exciting! The nose comes alive with almost a candied apple note, and the palate becomes far more balanced, sweetness through and the peat takes a more complimentary role before ckming up big on the lovely finish. Loving the 48%abv on the 8yr. Wishing diageo would release a higher or cask strength 16! One can dream right? -
A nice wheatee bourbon from the Buffalo Trace family. At first it was just sweet cherry and oak, but after a fee sips the flavors round out and the great cinnamon spoce on the finish really comes through. Was going to score this lower but it came around as the tinish had longer time to sit.DrinkWell

Craigellachie 13 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed June 13, 2023 (edited December 25, 2023)A strange and lovely scotch, lovely notes of honey, heather, barley in the wind and a lovely spice note on the finish. A great long and slow finish that is quite enjoyable, almost chewy.13.0 USD per PourThe Franklin Room
