  • Ardbeg Uigeadail

    Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

    Reviewed October 22, 2019 (edited October 25, 2019)

    Yep, this stuff is legit. Notes of honey, toffee, bacon, licorice, black pepper, coffee, and sea salt. Richer and sweeter than the 10 year. Definitely worth the money.

  • Macallan Classic Cut (2018 Release)

    I really liked this one. The bottle took a while to open up, but once it did I got dried fruits, caramel, chocolate, nutmeg, and baked sweet rolls, and ginger. One of the most full flavored Macallans I have had.

    Good high rye bourbon for the price. Gets better as you drink the bottle.

    Big notes of vanilla, nuts, Carmel, spice and oak. At 60 abv you probably want a little water. If you can get it for $50 or less, it holds its own against other Jim Beam small batch products.

    Not bad, but doesn’t exactly blow my socks off. I get citrus, poached pears, cinnamon and oak. At $60 in my area, there are better single malt options. Still, if you are an Obama fan and this is significantly less than the 14 in your area, you might want to give it a try.

    I am a big EW fan, so I wanted to like this more, but the fact is that it isn’t much of an improvement over the EWSB, which goes for about $30 where I live. This is a good bourbon, but not worth $130.

    I’d like to say I love this as much as everyone else, but I can’t. Not bad, just a little boring.

    Really happy with this purchase. Opens with plenty of dried fruits. Opens up to spice, roasted nuts and toffee. Long sherries finish as well. A great value as well.

    The nose on this whisky is complex and filled with strawberries, bananas, citrus, malt, and honey. The palate starts out very mild, but gradually reveals fruit, honey, and nuts. Would need more on the palate to give a higher rating, but still very well done.

    $50 in my area. On the nose, big notes of cigar box, cinnamon, brown sugar and oak. Palate rich with oranges, cherries, and a little black pepper. Long finish. Great value if you like Buffalo Trace products.
