Jack Daniel's Single Barrel

Jack's finest Jack Daniel's Single Barrel

I don't particularly like No.7 nor do I enjoy Gentleman Jack. I've tried both but wouldn't buy a bottle. So I wasn't expecting a drastic improvement from GJ/No.7 to SB but I was wrong. Nose: So unlike…

A good Barrel Evan Williams Single Barrel 2002

This Evan Williams is from Barrel no.1049 barreled on 4-11-02 and bottled on 11-21-12. Nose: Charred barrel, melted caramel and molasses. It's accompanied by some leather note and brown sugar. But, the…

Van Winkle 20 Year old Family Reserve 2010

2010 Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year old Family Reserve 2010

Tried this slightly older version with the 2012 20 y.o. Pappy and for me, although the 2012 Pappy 20 wins in the nose department this edges it every so slightly as a better rounded and balanced Bourbon…

Bowmore Legend

Legendarily Terrible Bowmore Legend

I'm a person who enjoys a good Islay dram. Ardbeg, Lagavulin,etc..all produce fine malts. This was my first experience with Bowmore and will probably be the last. I have never encountered in my advent…

Ardbeg 10 Year Old

Beach Bonfire Ardbeg 10 Year Old

Ardbeg has a reputation of being a very peaty Whisky and one of the finest representations of Islay style single malts. What I would say distinguishes Ardbeg from other Islay Malts is it's well balanced…
