An immediate note of dried fruit on the nose. Spice across both the nose and the palate. Very full-bodied and rich. The sherry presents itself very differently than it does in, for instance, a Speyside Scotch. Not the most complex, but it is bold and confident, with a long, pleasant finish. Personally, one of my favorite affordable Irish whiskeys on the market.65.0 USD per Bottle

Connemara Original Peated Single Malt
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed April 26, 2021 (edited May 4, 2021)Barley comes forward across the board. Many of the classically Irish notes are present, but the addition of the peat makes it that much more nuanced and fascinating. Far less intense on the peat than its Islay counterparts, which allows you to pick up the sweetness, most notably on the nose. Best neat. Would make for a great intro to peat as a whole!44.0 USD per Bottle -
Macallan Rare Cask
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed November 26, 2020 (edited January 15, 2021)Super complex and layered. The subtle notes of citrus and dried fruit that come after the heavy sherry taste is worth admiring. Slight notes of bittersweet chocolate and raisin are present. In its complexity, this single malt hits heavy. It’s not subtle and elegant like the 18 y.o. It’s bold and pronounced, and ultimately, very hard to forget. Stunning. -
Highland Park Magnus
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed September 3, 2018 (edited August 5, 2022)Lemon. So. Much. Lemon. On both the nose and the palate, there’s lemon peel, lemon juice, lemon zest, etc etc. The citrus is undoubtedly the dominant note, mind you, it is coupled with that classic HP peat smoke, some brininess and some buttery notes as well. It’s not boring by any means, but it is relatively simple, especially as far as Highland Park goes.40.0 USD per Bottle
