Nose- Soft smoke, slightly salty, hints of sweetness like fruits, malty yeasts. Some iodine. Taste- buttery brine with some malty cereal. Earthy and smoke mix with sweet dessert spices. Surprised how much the malt comes through. . Lot less influence of the px cask than I would expect. This is buttery bread, grilled over a campfire by the sea with only hints of grilled peaches and fruit Finish- more wood on the finish than I tasted before. Oak. Some bitterness with the sweet like smoked meats. Still briny. Medium long finish. Overall really pleasant, good bottle. I might lean toward the in your face notes of the .2 but this is still very good.46.0 USD per PourCynara Restaurant & Lounge

Bruichladdich Black Art 1992 9.1 Edition 29 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed May 13, 2022 (edited May 14, 2022)Nose- red apple skins, juicy golden delicious, not getting much else fruit. Taste-. Sweet. Zero smoke, more red apple skins and golden delicious juice. Finish- slightly tart at the end. I think it's reminding me so much of apples that it tastes like apple seeds, slight mustiness. Some heat and spice, more than 44% would expect. It's numbing the inside of my mouth. Some almonds or nut in the finish. Overall it's good but I'm not seeing it's value. It's rare and I am excited to check a black art off but I'd take a port Charlotte over this personally at a 1/10th the cost. It did get better in the glass. Maybe I needed to let it sit longer.75.0 USD per PourCynara Restaurant & Lounge -
nose- Soft and creamy vanilla, not as much barrel as I expected for age. Taste- Easy start with Rich caramel and vanilla candy, sugary sweetness, that quickly moves into leather and almost tobacco notes. Char and bits of smoke very lightly. Incredibly rich and you get a lot out of really working it in your mouth. Finish- lingered forever. It builds and stays sweet with lots of leathery tobacco type notes rich and powerful. A great pourCease and Desist Book Club

William Larue Weller Bourbon (Fall 2020)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 8, 2022 (edited April 27, 2024)Nose- so strong vanilla, caramel, and burnt sugars. Taste- immediately bites the tongue with a hot spice and heat, followed by rich oily caramels, burnt marshmallow and some light rye spice. Finish- I'll tell you tomorrow. Pretty sure I am still getting notes an hour later. The sweetness comes through with some oak and wood barrel, it's the definition of rich and sweet.50.0 USD per PourCease and Desist Book Club -
Rabbit Hole Dareringer Straight Bourbon Finished in PX Sherry Casks
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 15, 2022 (edited April 16, 2022)Nose: fruity and syrup sweet. Taste: bigger flavor than the nose presents, getting caramel, roasted glazed pecans, spices and sweet pears, just a hint of burn at the end brings more spice. Finish: warm spices bring vanilla, darker fruits with cherry pits, figs, raisins and almost some grass notes. -
Nose-. Black marker, iodine, meaty smoke, some sweetness Taste- bright fruits, tangy apple skins, hard punch and spikey spices, black pepper then gives way to salty brine, rich smoke, unripe green melons Finish- rich smoke, bits of sweetness fade quick, then it's all salty spray and a very slow fading peat smoke. It's with you for the haul. Freaking delicious.45.0 USD per PourCynara Restaurant & Lounge

Parker's Heritage Heavy Char Bourbon 10 Year
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed February 25, 2022 (edited March 1, 2022)Nose- sweet but you can nose the proof. Leans into vanilla and caramels. Taste- hot but smooth, lots of cinnamon spice. Finish- Lingers a lot of spice and heat on the tongue. I love high proof but this is more burn than flavor for me. Surprised by that. Maybe an off night. Reminds me of smoke wagon in that way.
