Ardbeg Drum (2019 Committee Release)
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed March 26, 2019 (edited April 7, 2019)I really enjoyed this. It is definitely not an everyday sipper, rather something to be savored when the mood is right. I don’t think that the rum cask influence is too strong, but you can definitely taste it. To me this pairs nicely with the Ardbeg smoke and gives a new twist on the ‘sweet peat’ that I enjoy so much.120.0 USD per Bottle -
Dunville's Three Crowns Peated
Blended — Ireland
Reviewed February 24, 2019 (edited January 4, 2020)This is an outstanding peated Irish Whiskey. Has the sweet peat flavors that I like in Lagavulin Distillers Edition or Caol Ila Distiller’s Edition, but smoother. Had this at The Whiskey Bar in San Diego for $26 for a generous pour and will definitely buy a bottle once I find out where to source it. -
Compass Box Flaming Heart (Sixth Edition)
Blended Malt — Scotland
Reviewed January 27, 2019 (edited February 2, 2019)I like this 6th Edition better than the 5th Edition, but not nearly as much as the 4th Edition. The sherry influence in this one is evident, but not so much so that it strays from its core mission.119.0 USD per Bottle -
Kentucky Owl 11 Year Rye (Batch #2)
Rye — Kentucky , USA
Reviewed January 6, 2019 (edited December 30, 2020)A delicious rye, but not worth the price.189.0 USD per Bottle -
Kilkerran 12 Year
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed January 4, 2019 (edited February 4, 2019)Received this as a New Years present, been wanting to try it for some time. It’s fruity but the smokiness is very understated IMHO. Overall I liked it, but not exactly what I had been expecting.
