Cappelletti Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro
Amaro — Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Reviewed December 31, 2021 (edited December 31, 2022)Lovely smoke on the nose, but disappointingly underwhelming in terms of smoke presence on the palate. The subdued smoke is really my only complaint, otherwise this amaro combines some of my favourite herbs - rhubarb, gentian, cinchona and wormwood. Beautiful rhurbarb notes are at the forefront and there is an underlying fruitiness and almost chocolate character. A favourite. -
Weller Antique 107 Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 18, 2021 (edited January 19, 2022)A richer and more robust version of Weller Special Reserve. Delicious caramel base vanilla base. There is some alcohol heat from the high proof but it is not harsh at all. Smooth heater. -
Can't say that I enjoy this one. Very thick consistency (which is fine) and a strange herbal profile. I was expecting more of an alpine amaro, but it is just a weird vegetal taste. It reminds me of when I was younger and thought all amari tasted medicinal and bad. I have acquired a taste for almost all of them, but this one isn't enjoyable.Toronto

Old Forester Classic 86 Proof
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 9, 2021 (edited December 30, 2021)Not bad for a free lounge pour, but has some of that cheap corn mash type character seen in cheaper bourbons. Lacking the vanilla subtly of higher end bottles.Wingtips Lounge
