  • Clase Azul Tequila Reposado

    Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico

    Reviewed May 15, 2019
    4.5
    4.5 out of 5 stars
    The best tequila I've had so far, but not against much competition. Compared to my typical whisky experience, it was MUCH sweeter, especially on the nose, and had a distinct agave characteristic on the finish. Still, quite enjoyable once I got past the sweet nose. Excited to try a few other high-end tequilas (DJ1942, Don Pilar XA) for comparison.

    This is for a “The Whisky Exchange” custom bottling. Solid peated Malt here. Comes through much fresher than Islay-style peat with subtle vanilla and oak in the mid-palate. Fairly rich and malty as well...this is a really strong expression.

  • Balblair 1990 2nd Release

    Compared to the 1999 3rd (18 years old) this one is much darker in every way...Nose is actually similar with this one focusing more on the stewed fruits, but the palate is where the experience jumps dramatically. This 1990 ~25 year old is super sticky and rich, without being syrupy. Closest comparison would be the Highland Park The Dark 17 year old, which was a lighter version of this for twice the price. Balblair knocked it out of the park with this one, and comparing against the younger brother definitely enhanced the quality of the 1990. Grab this (or the 1991) while you still can.

    Starts out a bit shy, with classic soft green apple and brown sugar on the nose with stewed fruits and vanilla on the palate. After a while, the palate gets spiky-er and more complex, with brighter berries coming through. 89/100

    Back to back with the 12 Sherry...this one falls short. It’s a bit harsher, milder Sherry, but not what I’d consider balanced either.

    Haven’t touched this one in a while but I’ve drank it during prior NCAA finals so hey, why not? It seems my tastes are evolving too...from peathead to appreciating the sherry expressions too. This could use a bit more abv but pretty solid regardless

    Surprised I hadn’t heard much about this one. My Green Spot is on it’s last legs and I picked this up to follow it. The Powers is similar to Green Spot but just a little darker on the fruits, while coming across as more refined, buttery, and elegant. Beautiful Irish whisky that flies under the radar.

    Really pleasantly surprised by this one! Got it as a gift as my first Lowland bottle, though I’ve tried the Auchentoshan 12 and 18 samplers and was generally unimpressed. But this NAS expression hits a great combo of Irish and Scotch, coming across like a Green Spot with a bit extra ‘seaside bite’. Like a cross between Irish and Campbeltown styles. So yeah very much enjoyed this one, and will be coming back to it on the regular!

    Packs a serious punch...even compared to other barrel proof bourbons. But it’s pure banana bread in liquid form, which is just incredible. 90/100
