Balvenie The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed March 27, 2023Funny enough this variation drinks more like a peated bourbon. It’s an excellent entry for someone who wants to venture into the scotch whisk(e)y world! You get those classic notes of sweet oak, vanilla, and caramel! But you also get strong notes of prunes and milke chocolate covered raisins. The finish is totally scotch…There is a sea salt and seaweed presence that hard to dismiss. -
This is such an interesting bottle!! There is that Heaven Hill nuttiness (toasted almonds) upfront, but on the mid-palate I get huge coconut cream pie and slight milk chocolate vibes. The finish is super refreshing…It surprisingly has this cold menthol/herbal presence. *Definitely has slight hints of cloce and cinnamon* Let’s just call this the Almond Joy of bourbons!

Kentucky Owl! I was surprised by how different of a profile this bottle had. I first noticed while the mouthfeel was very young and thin, the flavor boast with lot of butterscotch and candied toffee. The mid-palate was floral and had faint hints of lemon citrus. The finish was short and underwhelming, but I did find notes of baking spcies.

George Dickel 13 Year Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky (Spring 2007)
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed March 7, 2023Once again Tennessee whisky shines. *Some people love Dickel and others not so much* The mouthfeel allows for flavors to truly stick to the palate. Im getting loads of brown sugar and sweet granola up front. The mid-palate has hints of leather and rich tobacco which I appreciate! On the finish im getting a lot of oak char, deep tannins, and that charcoal-Lincoln County process is fully represented. On of my favorite Tennessee offerings. -
