Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot "B" 12 Year
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 3, 2018 (edited November 13, 2018)If you're looking for something that fights back then don't come to pappy. Nose is a gentle light vanilla and lemon ice tea. The tea shows up again in the palate with less lemon and more vanilla and oakyness. None of the flavors are fighting which leads to a all round drinker. Wish I could say what adding water does but it was gone before I could even try! Highly recommend if you can get for a good price. -
Jack Daniel's Single Barrel 100 Proof Bottled in Bond
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed October 27, 2018 (edited November 14, 2021)A good next step for whiskey beginners. It introduces a few more interesting notes on the nose and palate and emphasizes oak flavors. The nose has an interesting combo of oak, leather and vanilla. The palate is a similar situation with the usual vanilla but with some banana and strong oak spice. This whiskey isn't very hot and has a medium palette. Overall great value but nothing to crazy or complex. -
This is a classic bourbon in both nose and palate. Strong vanilla and oak in the nose initially which gives way to a bit of cinnamon spice. It has a medium body with oak, vanilla, and red apple on the palate. The finish is disappointingly short with a bit more oak and spice. Overall a great bourbon for the price point and has a very classic flavor profile

Glenlivet Nàdurra 16 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed October 20, 2018 (edited January 1, 2019)Christmas spice and apple on the nose. Super strong vanilla marshmallow initially on the palate leading to cinnamon spice and oak smoke. Strong burn on the end to top it off. Surprisingly balanced between the smoke and spice with the sweet. -
Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed October 20, 2018 (edited November 13, 2018)The office is well deserved. Very well balanced whiskey with no sharp edges. Honey and dark fruit on the palate leading to barrel spice and cinnamon.
