Getting down to the end of this bottle and will be glad to have it off the shelf. Despite being 80 proof it’s really harsh. Definitely taste the IPA influence but overall it’s just not very good. I think I’ll try it mixed with ginger beer and lemon juice. But as a sipper, don’t spend your money on this.

Blanton's Original Single Barrel
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 23, 2019 (edited October 14, 2023)My first bottle was heavenly. This bottle is not as good. But it’s gotten better midway through the bottle. Standard bourbon profile. Caramel and vanilla on palate. Wish the finish was longer. Some spice and oak towards the end. Still a very good pour. -
Glenfarclas 21 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed November 20, 2019 (edited April 12, 2020)Oldest scotch I’ve tried so far. Standard sherry nose. Bit of spice at first taste and then the sherry richness kicks in. Pretty good. But then the finish is just great. Long and sweet and yes, I can actually pick out fresh mint clearly. Cool. Happy birthday pour for my beautiful wife McCormacks Whisky Grill -
Michter's US*1 American Whiskey
Other Whiskey — USA
Reviewed November 20, 2019 (edited October 14, 2023)Really delicious and different. Great nose with some fruit. Sweet taste with bourbon tastes. Reminds me a bit of WF Double Oaked but with less caramel/butterscotch. Just really good. 13 USD per pour McCormacks Whisky Grill -
Glenlivet 12 Year Double Oak
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed November 15, 2019 (edited October 14, 2023)Much more complex than I remember. Bananas, butterscotch, butter popcorn on the nose. Sweet and standard speyside profile on the palate. Little spice with a big enough sip. Quite good for the price. 12 USD per (again very generous) pour Abbey Rd Pub Va Beach -
Dalwhinnie 15 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed November 15, 2019 (edited April 29, 2024)Just ok. Spicy up front. Honey and vanilla. Short spicy finish. Not much complexity. 12USD per pour Repeal Bourbon & Burger -
Michter's US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey
Other Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 13, 2019 (edited October 14, 2023)Very tasty. Some fruit notes and sweetness. Smooth with no real kick. Might need to get a bottle. 9 USD per pour McCormacks Whisky Grill
