El Tesoro Mundial Collection: Laphroaig Edition (2023 Release)
Tequila Añejo — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed December 22, 2023 (edited February 3, 2024)Sweet roasted agave that starts to transform into some light lime, mild oakiness, mild minerality, salinty, bits of leather, and some green herbal agave/ medicinal scotch notes. The peat begins to build at this point but isnt overwhelming in any way. Its noticeable as peat smoke but is dances playful along the finish. The finish is medium to long with hints of vanilla, smoke, and mineral. this definitely feels like a younger anejo but everything about it is done masterfully. The saline and smoke from laphroaig adds a nice extra layer of complexity while still being effortless sipping with interesting notes.160.0 USD per BottleSpec's Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods -
Doc Swinson Exploratory Cask Bossa Nova Bourbon Finished in Brazilian Amburana Casks
Bourbon — Indiana, USA
Reviewed December 20, 2023Average doc swisnson notes, but this one has an overwhelming cinnamon/baking spice note closer to the finish. Little dashes of vanilla and maple right before a medium to long finish that mildy hot. Not sure how i feel about amburana casks -
Bottle 108, 62.1% ABV. Short lasting carmel, hints of vanilla, then Waves if heavy oak, char, cherry wood, and dashes of brown sugar. The finish is a bit hot but has alot of baking spice and oak near the finish. Texas whiskey is a bit hit or miss for me alot of the time but this one was pretty great for the price (46 with my case pricing). for a single barrel of that proof i was pleasantly suprised. And even more surprisingly i think it shines greatly on ice. im not ashamed to support a distillery in texas that uses an ryeless mashbill.

High West Campfire (Discontinued)
Blended American Whiskey — (bottled in Utah), Multiple Countries
Reviewed December 17, 2023 (edited December 18, 2023)Vanilla and caramels dance on the toungue before some herbal rye notes start emerging, slightly green, but savory. oak and cereal also come along in the middle right before some tofeee and fig. the finish is laced with moderate peat and has some oily rye notes lingering around. The finish is medium to long, peppery and peaty. Its probably one of my fav bottles to come from high west that ive had. Blends peated malt and american whiskeys wonderfully. Will have to try the newer verision. Shout out to chris for the generous gifting of the bottle! -
Wild Turkey Master's Keep Voyage
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 17, 2023 (edited February 24, 2024)Intense wave of salted caramel/molasses, dashes of vanilla, then some moderate oakiness, light leather, some light tropical notes like grilled pineapple. The finish is medium to long with a nice bit of rum funk adding to the nice warming spice. Loving this one!!! -
Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye (2023 Release)
Rye — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed December 13, 2023A tannic gritty mouthfeel hits before any notes, then releasing some caramel, fruits like bannana and prune, some heavy oak, herbs, black licorice, black pepper, the finish is robust, full of cinnamon, licorice, pepper and burnt sugar. A powerful and memorable rye from jack daniels.
