Kavalan Sherry Oak Single Malt
Single Malt — Taiwan
Reviewed February 6, 2019 (edited January 12, 2020)If John Hammond drank this as much as he traveled to various dig sites, he might not have realized his dream of a dinosaur park. Smells like raisins and graham crackers. Add some water and it turns into smores. Surprising amount of heat, and very heavy bodied. Does it sort of mute flavors? Yah a bit, but I'd sacrifice a total stranger to a pack of velociraptors, to save a bottle of this.154.0 USD per Bottle -
You don't need any fancy theoretical physics equations to figure out that this is some good whiskey. Definitely an oak frontrunner ..nose and palate. There is some spice flavor, but really no heat. It's smooth. Put down the dry erase marker, walk away from the whiteboard, and pour a glass.75.0 USD per Bottle

Meh. I wouldn't risk a trip to a liquor store / supermarket that was crawling with zombies for this bourbon. By no means is it bad, but it's also not exciting. Smells like honey, oranges, cherries, and a bit of cinnamon. Tastes like mediocrity. Smooth, but unless you're seriously jonesing for some bourbon, let some other poor schmuck get mauled by the zombies.28.0 USD per Bottle

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 Year Rum
Aged Rum — Jamaica
Reviewed January 29, 2019 (edited March 8, 2019)Holy zombiepocalypse supermarket smorgasbord. Seriously, like somebody was stocking up on items like brown sugar and vanilla ice cream, then got murdered in the fruit section. Smells like way overripe bananas and brown sugar. Tastes like those same bananas, the murdered guy's leather belt, that torn open package of brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla ice cream. Probably all covered in blood, but luckily, it lacks that mineral taste of blood.38.0 USD per Bottle -
Kavalan Distillery Select No. 1
Single Malt — Taiwan
Reviewed January 26, 2019 (edited August 26, 2020)You could splash this on to throw off any velociraptors trying to track you by your scent. Smells very funky ..like very overripe fruit soaking in alcohol. It's not pleasant. The taste however evolves through a series of smoke, leather, banana/mango, honey and vanilla.68.0 USD per Bottle -
This is like the Jurassic Park Sam Jackson of the bourbon world. It's a recognizable character, except no raptors are going to break into your basement to attack a bottle of this. Smells really good with honey and vanilla, but taste just falls flat. Nothing terrible, but nothing notable. Just meh.32.0 USD per Bottle

This is so smooth and tasty, you'll feel like HG Wells' time traveller after you pass out on the control panel. You'll wake up to an empty bottle and the gentle Eloi trying to figure out who/what you are. Extremely pleasant nose with honey and vanilla. Same for taste. Almost no heat. Vanilla falls off and heat becomes more prevalent with water.40.0 USD per Bottle

The good news is, velociraptors are carnivores. Therefore, you won't have to worry about them trying to kill you for this bourbon. Oak and leather, with some mint on the finish. Gets more oak after adding water. Heat is present right in the middle. Honestly not too bad, just not my favorite.40.0 USD per Bottle

Robert Muldoon's of the world take note, this stuff will melt the skin off of a velociraptor. Hot and hot. In the brief moments before my tongue was reduced to a numb piece of flesh, I could taste some honey and brown sugar. Viscous, even after several drops of water were added. This bottle will last me awhile, unless those damn raptors learn how to open doors.52.0 USD per Bottle

Lagavulin 9 Year (Game of Thrones-House Lannister)
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed January 10, 2019My first lagavulin, and it didn't disappoint. From what I've heard of the 8 (being a young and a bit blunt in its tastes), I'd say the extra year of aging mellowed it considerably. Chances are, all the bottles are spoken for. So if you want one, either prepare to pay secondary market, or get to work on that time machine. smells a bit apple and smoke tastes the same with the addition of some honey and light peat55.0 USD per Bottle
