Amazing experience at the West Coast Fishing Lodge. A highlight was the Bourbon educational experience. This was my favorite - corn with toasted barley mash, 52%, slightly sweet, smooth, sipper. Not available in the states at the present time.

A sipper while visiting a friend with an extensive Scotch selection. Cask strenth, strong on the nose and strong but smooth on the palette. Drinkable with a preference as a sipper.

Just finished a 12 yr Redbreast and this fit the bill perfectly during this Irish season vacation. Flavorful, balanced, clean - minimal burn, at a pleasant price for any buyer. Thumbs Up for future purchases!

Bourbon is not my go to, but this is decent especially as a mixer. Significantly better than the Small Batch option.

Alexander Murray usually delivers a good scotch for the money. This is no exception. Rich, smooth, lightly peaty, with a hint if back palette cigar / tobacco. A good option suring my travels.

Recommended from the Total Wine guy for my son in law who loves Bourbon. He and our family enjoyed it over the Thanksgiving holiday week. It was a big hit. Approachable for folks like me and a favorite for those who do mixers.

Suggested by a bartender in Zurich. Highly complex and pleasing to this single malt fan of Oban 14 and other Highland single malts. Rich, full, and highly balanced. Grateful for the suggestion and will look for it on my return to the states.

A bit on the thin side if you are a seasoned Macallan fan. Still accessible if you are hitting the northern regions via duty free, but not up to par with the original 12 year variant.

A visit in the Mountain Village after a early afternoon gondola ride. Nice visit, sweet finish for such a young spirit. Worth a mountain try while in the San Juans.
