Brushy Mountain Double Barrel
Tennessee Whiskey — USA
Reviewed July 20, 2021 (edited November 3, 2022)Spicy, notes of butterscotch, and vanilla. Normally, I'm a wheated bourbon fan, but this offering is quite good and provides something different for an evening of sipping. As always, try it neat first, then move to ice or water. I like this best over a large ice ball and giving it a few minutes to open up.43.0 USD per BottleBrushy Mountain Distillery -
Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed May 23, 2021 (edited June 16, 2021)The rum taste is more of an afterthought than upfront. It plays well with the peat and smoke and has a very nice aroma. My wife, and two of her friends, all liked it and aren't big whiskey drinkers. -
The rye lends a good spiciness but doesn't overpower. There are some floral and fruity aromas and flavors, but the after effect is a nice cinnamon. I always try a new whiskey straight at first before adding a rock or any water, and I didn't even think of adding anything on my first go around. I might try it over a large rock next time, or maybe just some stones to cool it down without diluting. The high proof is nice, and definitely a pleasant surprise for under $30. Definitely let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to breathe after pouring, and it opens up wonderfully with a very pleasant aroma. This is definitely one I'll keep in the cabinet as an option to switch up my every day bourbons.28.0 USD per BottleCork Liquors

Spicy start, thick mouthfeel, no big Kentucky Hug despite the higher proof. The taste and burn linger on the tip of the tongue and the back roof of the mouth. There's an underlying sweetness and some vanilla. Not a bad offering at all and definitely one I'll keep in the liquor cabinet as something a little different than my normal bottles. I'm definitely interested in trying their other offerings now!38.0 USD per Bottle
