Beautiful copper color from the Sherry cask. A nose full of peat and oak with the Sherry not far behind. There is also leather and smokiness and perhaps some dark fruits like figs or plums. The mouthfeel is smooth and oily with pepper and peat replaced by sweetness, caramel, and spice. The finish is long, warming, and pleasantly smokey. One of the best Islay has to offer. — 4 days ago

Brew Dog, from Scotland, is all the rage right now in the U.K. The Punk IPA is a made in a profile that is quite commonplace among the craft beer scene in the US but a bit of a rarity on its home turf. Think Lagunitas. Floral, bitter, good complexity. — a month ago

Almost in my Macallan 18 zone but not quite. Some very, very good whisky here. — 8 days ago

Color of black tea. Nose is peaty, fermented grains, spices, and some ripe fruit note. Taste follows similar notes with addition of sweet caramel. Aftertaste is some more salty mineral and baked apple. Flavors are right to the point with decent concentration. — a month ago

A really subtle, yet gratifying scotch whiskey. Light, floral, honeyed notes but there was a certain quality about it that was palpable. Reminded me somewhat of the Balvenie 17 Rum Cask — 2 days ago
