4.25 out of 5 stars

The nose is unobtrusive, but that first taste! Warm baked goods, a bit of spice with a bit of sherry sweetness thrown in. Definitely a nice dram for sipping in front of a roaring fireplace...

Balvenie Portwood 21 Year

There is a subtle floral scent to the nose that gives a preview of what is to come. On first taste, there is a warmth that neither overpowers nor overwhelms, and fades gently into a lovely floral finish that lingers. What a delightful dram!

There's a bit of peat on the nose, but nothing overwhelming. The first taste brings a bit of heat that fades slowly to a nutty finish...

A slightly medicinal note sets the tone; the first taste delights with notes of fruit, and a long finish of peat...

A subtle nose gives away little, but that first taste—what an explosion of fruit, warm, spicy toast, and cloves! The finish lingers, leaving you wondering whether another pour is in order...

Isaac Bowman Straight Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels

Bourbon — Virginia, USA

There's not much to the nose on this one, but a first taste rewards with sweet baked goods, a bit of warmth, and a slow finish that harkens back to this spirit's corn-first origins. A perfectly fine sippin' Bourbon.

The nose is subtle, with a hint of brown sugar sweetness. The first sip delights with gentle notes of fruit, baking spices, and an oh-so subtle warmth leading into a slightly-smoky, satisfying finish. Gotta find me a bottle!

The nose brings to mind a holiday spent baking family treats; with the first taste, floral notes come to the front, and a slow, warm finish rounds out a lovely experience with this young (but promising) dram...

TOPO Eight Oak Carolina Whiskey

Wheat Whiskey — North Carolina, USA

3.0 out of 5 stars

With a nose hinting at brown sugar, the first taste is light, with subtle notes of baked goods, a bit of vanilla, and a gentle finish that brings a bit of candy to mind. This is a nicely balanced dram that would be a friendly introduction to whiskey that won't overwhelm a newbie.

A very balanced dram, but I honestly am having a hard time describing it. I much preferred the "Tagalong" batch...
