Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 6, 2022I’m a man of Islay scotch, but this is my favorite bourbon, hands down. The low price is the big upside, the downside being the scarcity. Absolutely delicious so you can see why. Buttery, smooth, oily, toffee deliciousness. If you see it on the shelf for under $60, buy two.50.0 USD per Bottle -
Nose is earthy and vegetal with that band-aid funk. Palate is peaty on the tongue with some burn to let you know it’s strength. A few drops of water will give a euphoric sensory overload. The finish is rather short but leaves a little oil. Overall, if you’re a fan of Islay’s then you’ll love it, if not, you’ll hate it.75.0 USD per Bottle

Talisker 2010 Distillers Edition (Bottled 2020)
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed June 30, 2021 (edited October 5, 2021)A sweeter Talisker 10. The sea is just a bit more muted by the sherry, but definitely present. Nice price point also. -
Ardbeg Wee Beastie
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed August 24, 2020 (edited September 5, 2020)I give this a 4.5 because I’ve finally found the peaty punch in the jaw I’ve been looking for. I still prefer Laph 10 or Laga 16 more regularly, but this one is inexpensive, very tasty and a nice ABV45.0 USD per Bottle -
Tasted like flower flavored rubbing alcohol. Best thing about it is the remnants of the Laphroaig 10 that I didn’t rinse out of the glass. Might literally dump the bottle out otherwise it will sit on my bar until I can trick friends into finishing the bottle over the next few decades. Good thing I got it for free!
