This Irish dram is honey gold with thick watery legs. The nose has notes of buttery biscuits, grain, orange zest, and apple skins. The palate is sweet and simple, balanced but unremarkable, reminding me of apple juice. The finish is quick and caramel-ly. It’s not a great whiskey but it’s a classic that’s not bad; a good every-day drinker. Sláinte!25.0 USD per Bottle

Looking in the glass this shine is clear as water with thick watery legs. The nose coming from a few whiffs has notes of watermelon, dried grains, sugary cotton candy, Elmer's glue, and grass clippings. The palate has a mouthfeel that’s buttery. And sweet and tangy tastes with a note of cantaloupe. The finish is long with an herbal/vegetal freshness. This shine is quite excellent and has good enough character to sip neat or use as a backbone in some mixed drinks. I recommend a try, and if you happen to be in the Axe and the Oak tasting room, ask for a taste of the shine that’s passed through Laghroig barrels! Cheers!30.0 USD per Bottle

George Dickel 13 Year Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky (Fall 2005)
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed July 8, 2020 (edited April 17, 2021)This beautiful Tennessee whiskey is a dark amber color with thick semi-watery legs. Oh man, this nose is good - sweet and balanced. There are notes of heavy brown sugar, graham cracker pie crust, banana bread, cinnamon, and overripe peach and apple. The palate has an oily mouthfeel and reminds me of a fruity dessert. There are delicious notes of orange, red apple, plum, dark chocolate, buttery cinnamon toast, and pepper. The finish is medium length with a black peppery taste being left behind. Cheers! -
Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 8, 2020 (edited October 31, 2020)This delicious bourbon is a beautiful dark copper color with thin oily legs. The nose is sweet and pretty center of the road as far as bourbons go. There’s notes of caramel, vanilla, cherry syrup, baking spices, and chocolate fudge. The palate has an oily mouthfeel and notes of cinnamon, sweet corn, tart cherry, and an ashy smoke taste. It’s very agreeable. The finish is spicy with cinnamon candy and long-lasting. Cheers! -
A dark brown leather color hues this value bourbon, and thin oily legs slowly descend the glass walls. There is an amazing nose here! I find notes of orchard fruit, banana, grilled corn, cherry Jolly Rancher, cinnamon, brown sugar, and dusty books. It’s so good! The complex palate of kitchen cooking spices, table syrup, caramel, chocolate malt balls, mild strawberry, and salted pumpkin seeds makes a sweet delectable treat! The lingering finish has a nice earthy quality to it. Cheers!

This organic bourbon (didn’t know that was a thing!) has very thin oily legs seen in the glass and has a nice amber color. The nose is pleasant but not extraordinary with notes of dry straw, green strawberry, honey, lemon, vanilla, and a floral quality. The palate has notes reminiscent of a dessert with burnt caramel, oatmeal, and chocolate, as well as fennel and some barrel spice. The finish is long and hot initially with a tangy spice in the same camp as chicken from a Chinese restaurant. Cheers!

Sonoma County Distilling Co. Sonoma Rye
Rye — California , USA
Reviewed June 17, 2020 (edited March 29, 2021)Okay, so this cask strength rye is a coppery rust color with thin watery legs. The nose feels dry and has notes of hay, dry old lumber, dill, and unfortunately, polyurethane. That note is a big turn off for me. The palate is mellow yet almost chewy and has notes consisting of yellow corn, sour herbs, and green strawberry. The finish is not long nor hot considering the proof, and leaves almost a snickerdoodle taste. Cheers! -
This experimental whiskey from Storm King Distilling Co. is an orange copper color, with thick viscous legs sticking to the glass walls. The sweet nose is very nice with notes of heavy butterscotch, oatmeal cookie, German chocolate cake, caramel apple, vanilla, and watermelon. The palate has a watery mouthfeel and is very fruity with notes of green apple, dark grapes, peach, buttery cinnamon French toast, tangy Cutie orange and lemon. The finish is lingering with a taste like sweet yogurt raisins. Cheers!

Workhorse Rye Redhorse Whiskey
Rye — California , USA
Reviewed June 16, 2020 (edited August 6, 2021)The appearance is like a rosé wine; it has a pinkish hue, hence the name, “Red Horse.” It also has exceedingly thin viscous legs. The complex nose contains notes of rye spice, corn dust, Potpourri, dry white wine, a young moonshine funk, a pile of dead leaves, and Froot Loops cereal. The palate has a watery mouthfeel, is sweet and clean, but has a new make/ moonshiney taste with notes of leather, roasted corn, and bitter rhubarb. The finish is nice with no burn though it’s shorter, and has a dark chocolate taste sending you off. Cheers! -
3 Hundred Days of Shine American Oak Moonshine
Other Whiskey — Colorado , USA
Reviewed June 15, 2020 (edited June 16, 2020)So this local aged moonshine is orange amber in color and has thick viscous legs coming down the glass. The nose is sweet and quite interesting with notes of caramel, cotton candy, strawberry yogurt, Raisin Bran cereal, and dry straw. The palate is simple but sweet with earthiness, Froot Loops cereal, and black tea with Stevia sweetener. There is an initial back of the throat heat, accompanying a medium-long dry finish.
