Reviewed September 5, 2024The nose has notes of honey roasted nuts, red wine, briney sea air, and mild peat. The palate matches the nose with notes of red wine, sweet corn, sea salt, and peat.

Grangestone Highland Single Malt Bourbon Cask Finish
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed September 5, 2024 (edited November 8, 2024)The nose boasts notes of dusty corn, old books, grains, vanilla, and lemon. The palate is mild then turns hot like Hot Tamales candy with caramel candy notes. The finish is harsh with medium long length. -
The nose was repulsive with neutral grain spirits and nail polish remover, with lemon and cinnamon attempting to save the experience. The palate was also in battle with cherry cough syrup facing maple syrup and wax candy. The finish was harsh, short, and left a bitter aftertaste. I did not finish the 50ml bottle. I would encourage any and all to steer clear.

This kingly bouquet is sweet and peaty, with smoke and pine and cherry aromatic pipe tobacco, and savory too with smoked BBQ meat. The grand palate is vast in its array of tastes and flavors ranging from sweet to peaty, salty to smoky, and an oily mouthfeel keeps it around for a while. The finish is warm, smooth and savory but short, knowing you’ll be wanting to return for more.

Reviewed May 4, 2024 (edited May 7, 2024)The nose is dry but sweet with cereal grains, corn pits and corn mazes at a pumpkin patch, fun dip and sweet tarts candies.

Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 19, 2023 (edited May 7, 2024)On the nose things started sweet with chocolate and nougat, brown sugar, dark rich plum, and cherry. Notes like worn leather and cedar wood finished out the bouquet. One is welcomed with warmth, caramel, spicy curry, and a rich Christmas baked pastry dessert. The finish is of medium length with a spicy exit. -
The extra age with new char does some good work. The nose opens to a summer scene filled with campfire smoke, BBQ char, and sweet fruits like apple. The palate is balanced with sweet honeyed candy, apple and stone fruits on one side with a dry mouthfeel and smokiness with a dash of salt on the other. The finish is medium length and reminiscent of a dry wine.
