Crown Royal Maple
Flavored Whiskey — Manitoba, Canada
Reviewed January 9, 2016 (edited August 24, 2019)I'm an islay Scotch drinker, so for me, this was like going into hyperglycemic shock, still... If candy sweet is your thing, go for it! I am a professional pastry chef, and can see this being folded, blended and mixed into about a thousand desserts. It's giant MAPLE with a capital M . -
Wild Turkey American Honey
Other Liqueurs — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 22, 2015 (edited November 7, 2020)Let me start out by saying ( ironically) that I don't normally enjoy sweet drinks, and am actually an Islay scotch fan, 😁 I ended up trying this from a sample to add to iced sweet tea, this past summer and ended up getting a full on bottle as a result. I was amazed at how beautifully balanced this actually is. If you enjoy honey, with a deeper infusion/ undercurrent of cinnamon , allspice and a bit of clove, you will love it. Smooth, smooth, smooth...! As a mixer or just over ice as is. Would make a nice , after dinner drink too -
Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed December 21, 2015 (edited October 2, 2018)It's not as harsh as you might think! Don't be afraid of the proof. A couple of drops of water tames the fumes. Actually, quite smooth. I had at a 'Highland festival'. -
Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey
Blended — Ireland
Reviewed August 17, 2015 (edited October 2, 2018)Teeling, non chill filtering, higher ABV. It's a bit hot at first, then turns smooth. Banana, vanilla and coconut sweetness, from the rum cask influence . It's bit different than other Irish for that alone. Slight spicy finish . It's interesting. Ireland meets Jamaica lol -
Glenfiddich 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed August 17, 2015 (edited August 1, 2018)Nice ' starter' Scotch, but also , just an affordable, lovely, standard to stock. Slightly more peaty than Glenlivit 12 . Pears, light peat, honey and vanilla . Fast finish. I enjoy this but if looking for something a bit more oomph wise, I love Old Pultaney!
