9.1

The best possible medium plus ballpark frank aromas then bright and birch-y (if I dare say so) on the palate. Smoke is the calling card, earth and bakery aromas back it up. — 3 years ago

@Paul T- Huntington Beach it’s a bit on you, thanks to trying Glenmorangie now by mind is expanded if not too much. But seriously you shared one of the first Scotches you told me old!

Paul T HB

Yeah I remember, but this bottle has some serious Peat & Smoke. Nice upgrade. Great winter nights pour

Buffalo Trace Distillery

Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Severn G

9.3

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.)

Yes to Rye, my ‘go to’ for a category I don’t venture into often.

Paul T HB

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

Daniel Bloom

Nice assortment, if I remember correctly,
Kirkland 12 yr scotch is McCallan.

Another nice young Nebbiolo. Already nicely mellow and drinkable. The usual plus some extra berry and dried roses. From Astor Wines. 05/07/23 — 3 years ago
