Virginia Distillery Co. Cider Cask Finished Virginia-Highland Whisky
Blended Malt — Multiple Countries
Reviewed May 24, 2023Purchased a 50 ml bottle, and glad I didn’t have to pay for a 750 to be disappointed. Definite tart green apple notes on the nose that somewhat carry over to the palate. On the palate there is a harsh artificial/medicinal note that almost completely overshadows the tart fruitiness. The finish is astringent and hotter than 92proof should be.4.99 USD per ShotVirginia ABC -
Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or Sauternes Cask Finish
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed April 8, 2023Most expensive of the four iterations in the “Tasting Set”, but IMHO the worst of the lot. Very glad I was able to try this one from a 100 ml “taster”. As expected, it is sweet, but it’s almost an artificial sweetener sweetness. The sweetness is the first thing you taste, dut is quickly replaced with alcohol heat and a dry finish.79.99 USD per Bottle -
Glenmorangie Lasanta Sherry Cask Finish 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed February 28, 2023Sweet, smooth, dark fruit with a little alcohol heat.53.99 USD per Bottle -
Lunazul Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed February 21, 2023 (edited February 28, 2023)Rather light. The nose is agave, floral and oaky. On the palate all those are still noticeable and there is a bit of anise and black pepper on thr finish. Nothing remarkable, just an easy sipping “bottom shelf” Reposado. Not in the same league as Classe Azul Reposado. Not as good as El Jimador Reposado, but holds it owm against 1800, Hornitos, Teremana and Jose Cuervo Traditionale. I wouldn’t turn down a pour of any of these.23.99 USD per Bottle
