High West American Prairie Bourbon
Bourbon — (bottled in Utah), USA
Reviewed November 9, 2021 (edited November 19, 2021)Nose: bright, yet sweet. Subtle rye notes buried inside the oak. Taste: much sweeter on the palate, with a classic brown sugar component. Finish: medium finish, with a soft mouthfeel even at 46% -
Nose: Distinctive aromas of malty sugar cane. Herbaceous and floral with banana, passion fruit, coconut and undertones of baking spices and caramel. Palate: Classic malty palate you expect from Glenlivet, but takes a sweet turn to remind you of how it was finished. Finish: Bright and playful start but quickly mellows and rounds out to a sweet, but dry finish.

Balvenie Peat Week 14 Year (2002 Edition)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed July 12, 2020 (edited July 28, 2021)Nose: Floral, orange blossom notes with a whisper of sweet peat rounding out the subtle hints of baking spices Taste: Smooth, round palate balanced evenly with citrus zest, vanilla oak, and orange blossom honey. Finish: Even, with a gentle rise in the middle finishing with the earthy peat smoke and vanilla tannins. -
On the nose, you get predominantly bourbon characteristics from aging: cedary, slightly charred wood. This is followed by whole leaf mint and muddled parsley. The palate is creamy and sweet. Think snickerdoodles followed by grapefruit, orange zest, Granny Smith apples, and pear. Finishes full circle with black pepper and oak. Savory, sweet, and a good all around sipper!
