Green Spot Single Pot Still
Single Pot Still — Ireland
Reviewed February 17, 2019 (edited November 19, 2020)Really nice, light and balanced sipper. Tastes like buttery coconut biscuits with some hints of nuts and orange zest. Very smooth; easy-to-the-breezy. -
Longrow Red 11 Year Cabernet Franc
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland

Deanston 14 Year Organic
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed February 10, 2019 (edited December 24, 2020)Light and easy sipper. Tastes a little younger than 14 years old. Sugar babies, lemon and melted whipped cream. Watery, short finish. Update ... I’m now at the end of the bottle and it hasn’t gotten much more interesting. It’s really young tasting - almost like new make. Would never guess that it’s 14 years old. I hate that I don’t like this one because I really admire what Deanston did with making it 100% organic. But taste buds don’t lie. Would take Hazelburn 10 over this any day. -
Nose: smoke and salty ocean fog, dried fruit, caramelized nuts Palate: starts with a punch of smoke and a tingle of mint/herbs that radiates as you breath in - like opening the door of a wood-fired sauna ... followed by rich malt, stone and a splash of seawater. Finish: long and hazy This was one that I needed to take my time with ... at first my tastebuds were confused but I learned that air and a couple of drops of water opened more and more layers ... confusion turned to intrigue and eventually delight. It was a journey but one well worth taking!
