Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed January 8, 2023 (edited February 2, 2023)Not so powerfully banana bread as the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel, but very much a taste of banana bread. This isn’t my favorite offering from JD, but is pretty good. Certainly better than old number 7, and Gentleman Jack. -
Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 2
Peated Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed July 3, 2022 (edited November 15, 2022)Simply put, this is delicious. I will write a proper review at some point, but first taste is pretty good.89.0 USD per Bottle -
Really liked this when I first tried it, but it doesn’t have depth, and doesn’t keep my interest anymore. There is agave, but this is too sweet, and the other flavors taste artificial; like they are all tweaked to make it “perfect” and just like Instagram filters, once you’ve tweaked things too far, it doesn’t look real anymore.

Let us be clear, this is not something I will be drinking neat, aside from tasting a bit to get its profile. It is designed for making Margaritas, and it is fantastic for this use. Any cocktail that you want to have a very clean, sweet, orange flavor, Agavero Orange is a decent choice. This does not have the depth of flavors that Cointreau or Grand Marnier has, and is definitely on the sweet side, but it is also delicious. It has enough agave flavor that it can boost your Margarita’s character a little bit too.

Crown Royal Noble Collection 16 Year Rye
Canadian — Manitoba, Canada
Reviewed January 10, 2022 (edited October 19, 2022)It had been a while since I last tasted this, decided to take a sip to see if it was as good as I remembered. Turns out it is better. Rich and deep, this is complex well beyond what I’d expect for a 90 proof spirit. There is rye character, and so much caramel and rich creamy vanilla. Delicious.
