St. George's Distillery

I.W. Harper Distillery Company

Aged 12 Years Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

NV | Bourbon
(Isaac Wolfe) I.W. Harper (Bernheim); 12 Year
Tullahoma, TN, United States

A multiple tasting of global brown spirits, but dinner of enchiladas with locally sourced ingredients was perfectly paired to the ultimate of Green Chile vodka from none other than St. George's (Alameda, CA).

Happy 2022>2023 Delectable Family.
I was lucky enough to land one of the current COVID variants during my Holiday break, yet 'luck' is one word for the situation. Fortunately symptoms were mild but my palate is twisted, so hopefully 2023 brings a reset.

The DYFI Distillery

Pollination Gin 2018

Brought this gin back from Aberystwyth, the town on the Welsh coast where Prince Charles studied the language before becoming the Prince of Wales. This one is spicy and piney. Reminds me of a Welsh version of St. George's Terroir Gin. Enjoying it over a bit of ice. — 5 years ago

Fousquare Rum Distillery

Port Cask Finish Rum 2004

Vanilla and toasted caramel notes. Smooth and medium viscosity. You get a little of the Port finish at the end. When in St Augustine, drink what the successful pirates drink. This is not Captain Morgan's. — 7 years ago

Buffalo Trace Distillery

Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

How does anyone not hoard (regular) Sazerac at ~$25?!
Incredibly smooth, great sweet note to the finish. Again, why haven't I not been buying this for years...?

(BTW Kirkland Bourbon at $30 is worth the price of admission, earthy oak note on the palate is quite similar to Buffalo Trace.)

Counter-Clockwise from top left:
Buffalo Trace (single-barrel selection), Jefferson's Reserve Very Old/Very Small Batch, Knob Creek (9yo), Kirkland Bourbon (7yo), St George single-malt (SM 015), Hillrock (Ancram NY, solera aged, Barrel No. 174), Berkshire Mountain Distillers Shay's Rebellion and Wild Turkey Master's Keep (Batch 0001, 17yo).

Surprisingly Eagle Rare 10 is highly allocated this year if you’ve had in the past. One bottle only on K&L

Nice assortment, if I remember correctly,

St. George Spirits

Pear Brandy

Bartlett Pear eau de vie. (Lot PB-08)

This will be my initial experience with this bottle after passing it in my local shop numerous times and pondering the eventual purchase.

Ok... Just like everything else made under the roof at St. George's, this is crazy juice, nose is intense peeled pear skin and the palate has the truest expression of pear I've ever known. All this is distinctly Bartlett Pear, no question. Wow, perfect close to the evening.

I also like the Clear Creek Distillery version from Portland but side by side tasted with the one from the Schladerer Distillery from Freiburg Germany it fell short just to much in your face pear. Schladerer exports world wide even BevMo carries their spirits the Cherry 🍒 Version is stellar.

Thanks, I'll look up both of those producers, based on your palate, I think they should be quite nice.
