Andalusia Revenant Oak Peated Single Malt
American Single Malt — Texas, USA
Reviewed February 17, 2024I am drinking a group pick thats coming in at 112.89 proof. There is a robust salted caramel, intense leather and very strong oak coming right of the bat. White pepper, hints of prune, earth and mild peat smoke come into play before the proof starts to show its power. The leather and tannin comes back, with a earth robust finish. This is a great bottle, with Andalusia cementing itself in the top 3 american single malts ive had so far. -
Glenallachie 2006 Single Cask 16 Year Old Oloroso Puncheon
Single Malt — Scotland
Reviewed February 10, 2024Intense caramel, hay, moderate oak, honey and cardamon, and marzipan. Body produces more oak, prune, fig, mild coffee and nuttiness that is heavenly. the finish comes with the prune, heavy baking spice and toffee. this is a fantastic dram, and the best ive had from glenallachie so far. Very happy with this dram! -
Salted caramel, dashes of vanilla, oakiness and a mild funk reminiscent of wet hay, later on some prune/red berry notes emerge along with some mild nutty notes from the sherry, there is also slight whisps of peat smoke near the finish but much lighter than anything longrow. The finish takes some of the wey hay, prune and peat with mild baking spice that lasts medium length.

Fruity and rich, immediately hit with a honey note, dried fig, roasted banana, citrus, vanilla and molasses. The finish bring a slight funk but is taken over by the molasses, slight baking spice and fruit. i really love plantation, they go above and beyond to bring cool new rums to the market with a great pricepoint. this barbados/venezuelan blend is really great for the price point!23.0 USD per Bottle

Middle West Spirits Ported Pumpernickel Rye
Rye — Ohio, USA
Reviewed February 5, 2024 (edited February 6, 2024)A dark, almost malty note, then more standard herbal rye notes, menthol, dill, then some robust oak, hay, dark fruits like plum but also a bright ding of apple similar to calvados. The finish is easy and medium to long, but a fruity, spicy and rich notes during the duration. im not sure if i like this one or the original dark pumpernickel better, while i like the fruitiness im thinking id enjoy it more without. but if you are a port finish fan, 100% go for this one. -
Arran The Robert Burns Single Malt
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed February 4, 2024 (edited August 21, 2024)A rush of sweet caramel, dashes of vanilla, cardamon, walnut, and decadent baking spice. the sherry comes into play with a light berry note, but still moderately nutty. the finish is medium, not super smooth finish hut has enough spice and molasses-esque notes that its delightful. Very good price too!! -
Light mouthfeel with light vanillas and caramels dancing around, molasses, baking soice and various fruits like bananas come along. The finish is short and has mild baking spice in its duration. A sweet, light and not overly syrupy rum. Its nothing fantastic but its great for the price point. Would reccomend over bacardi and morgan any day.

a rich wave of vanilla hits, evolving into salted caramel, dashes of brown sugar, marzipan, oak, figs and spice. there is a nuttiness indicative of sherry as well as a cigar smokiness to it, moderate barrel char as well. The finish is medium to long and exceptionally spiced, with caramel, smoke and dark fruitiness lasting till the end. fantastic dram!

Wild Common Mezcal Ensamble
Mezcal Joven — San Luis del Río, Oaxaca, Mexico
Reviewed January 31, 2024finally grabbed a bottle of it instead of relying on tastings at the store. You get a nice mild dried fruit, roasted and green agave, pings if vanilla, punchy saponins, some lime peel, slight flashes of anise and great minerality. The finish has a nice smokiness, and continues with the minerality, mild white pepper and green agave richness with a medium duration. Wild common absolutely kills it in the tequila catergory and i was well aware this was a great ensamble beforehand. Price point is also really good for what it is. i love tobala so this is another wonderful addition to the mezcal collection.70.0 USD per BottleSpec's Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods -
Rich caramels and toffee, dried apricots, then some more robust oakiness, wet hay/ vegetal notes, mild salinity and some tobbaco and char closer to the finish. The finish is definitely has a peatiness to it, about half earthy/half smoky. The finish is medium to long with tinges of vanilla, brine and hay.
