Dark Rum — Puerto Rico
Reviewed August 27, 2021 (edited September 1, 2021)Pre-Distiller tasting. Gift bottle from my BIL & SIL from their honeymoon on PR. Caramel and molasses with oak nose also show up in the taste with crème brûlée and fig. Very mild. Easy finish. Great sipper. -
Macallan 30 year Fine Oak (2000's bottling)
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed August 27, 2021 (edited September 1, 2021)Pre-Distiller tasting. This was a business trip pour years ago on someone else’s expense account, but I’m recording the experience here for my records. Strong citrus and apple orchard nose. Rich taste of vanilla and nuts with a floral musk. Light oily finish that fades slowly. Exquisite.Old Town Alexandria Waterfront -

Old Forester Classic 86 Proof
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 27, 2021 (edited November 5, 2021)Pre-Distiller tasting. Neck pour on a second bottle after killing the first in short order. Sweet fruit and oak on the nose and palate, with cinnamon and spice also in the taste. Medium finish of crème brûlée. No heat.Blue Max Liquors -
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 27, 2021 (edited September 7, 2021)Pre-Distiller tasting. Maple syrup and anise on the nose. Taste has a lot going on adding pancakes and whipped cream with nutmeg and hints of cherry and citrus. Velvet mouthfeel. Back end turns toward dried cherries and the oak char lingers on a medium finish. Definitely more of a sipper than a mix.Blue Max Liquors -
