Pappy Van Winkle Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year 107 Proof 2024

Brandon's bottle was better than mine. A little heat, a little sweet. Honey, cornbread, cinnamon, tobacco. Tight, clean finish.

Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!

Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.

Oude Geuze

Bottled 28 March 2018. Blend no. 42. Season 17/18. Shared by @Bryan Frey for a delicious nightcap and to honor Armand’s passing on 6 March. Just a perfectly balanced, funky, citrusy, earthy lambic. Best before 2038, but there is no way I could get my hands on enough to test that date as they would disappear well before then. — 3 years ago

Little Bay of Caves 14 Years West Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Not really a whisky drinker, but I can appreciate this Scotch. Very woodsy and dry. Cedar with orange bitters, and oaky vanilla bean. Clean fresh finish, with a long lasting Szechuan pepper tingle and wood chips towards the end. 14 yr single malt. — 4 months ago

The Balvenie Distillery

Port Wood 21 Years Malt

Honey, port wine on the nose with a silky mouthfeel and perfect viscosity. The finish has a burn which is perfect not soft like an aberlour and it’s not sweet either. Masterpiece! — 4 years ago

DoubleWood Aged 12 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Balvenie Doublewood 12yr - the nose is light with a hint of wood. On the palate you get a bit more power and a full mouth warmth. Finish gives you more of that wood and heat. It’s a good, easy drinker. Won’t go out of my way to get but wouldn’t feel bad if given a dram. — 5 months ago

Hibiki 12 Year Old Blended Whisky

Just wonderful, caramel oak notes, cold smoke on the nose.
Japanese Whisky is at a high point in the market presently, if you bought early (5-10Y ago) you're sitting pretty now 😉
