Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur
Nut Liqueurs — Italy
Reviewed August 22, 2021 (edited September 17, 2023)Clear golden. Hazelnut (and typically accompanying cocoa) and vanilla nose. Flavors of hazelnut and vanilla, but generally pretty straight forward. Sweet, but not cloying. Medium thick. -
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban Port Cask Finish 14 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed August 22, 2021Redder I believe than the 12 year with lovely ruby tinting. The profile is essentially the same, but it seems the cask comes through a bit more. Dark fruit (cherry, raisin), chocolate, oak, port. Moderately sweet and spicy, rich, woody with a short finish. -
Nearly black in color. Not quite so sweet on the nose as Kahlua. Coffee of course dominates, with notes of agave, vanilla, cola and caramel. Sweet tasting, like a dessert topping. Very minimally detectable alcohol. Smooth and relatively thick. The taste is nice, but alone a small quantity is plenty.

Abasolo Ancestral Corn Whisky
Corn — Mexico, Mexico
Reviewed August 22, 2021 (edited April 14, 2022)Golden. Agave, butter, corn nose. Perhaps a touch of caramel or toffee. There’s a hint of spice behind moderate sweetness with flavors of cornbread and light agave. It took some getting used to, as my brain initially fixated on the agave-esqueness of it, but it is growing on me. Not great, or of comparison with my preferred Scotch or bourbon, but interestingly different and surprisingly smooth.
