Macallan Double Cask 12 Year
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed January 8, 2018 (edited January 18, 2018)Sample/not sure this is a full 4 star, lacking a finish for me, especially at price point. Still if you like Sherry, this may be the one you should seek out. -
Benjamin Prichard's Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed December 19, 2017 (edited October 11, 2021)My review is for the Tennessee Malt Whiskey, which appears to be different than this version but I don't see the listing on Distiller. Bold, rye-like. Plenty of spice - nutmeg and cinnamon. Also has an interesting off-note, reminds me somewhat of Tullamore. Not my personal taste though it might be exactly what some are seeking out. -
Green Spot Single Pot Still
Single Pot Still — Ireland
Reviewed December 15, 2017 (edited August 22, 2018)A personal favorite. I get Frosted Flakes on the nose, with ripened fruit and tiniest bit of peppermint. At first taste, there is apple and orange zest, but additional layers slowly reveal themselves. That may be due, in part, to the backbone of this whiskey, which gives it weight & heft. This attribute sets Green Spot apart and may account for why I think no single flavor is pulling the strings, rather it is an orchestra of various notes. In this way, every sip feels unique. -
Nose: marmalade, toasted oats. Plenty of jam notes at front, so I may disagree w reviewer to some extent about fruit being subtle. Still, not surprisingly, Moreno is on target about the value. Even if I concede that this is a touch better than Green Spot or Redbreast, the price comparison gives strong edge to those two offerings. Finish is long, sweet, and pleasant... mostly vanilla.
