Small Batch Craft Distillery
Caorunn
Small Batch Gin 2021
Caorunn is crafted in a whisky distillery – Scotland’s Speyside’s Balmenach – one of the first distilleries to be licensed in the production of Scotch whisky in 1824.
Caorunn has 11 botanicals. The main five Celtic ingredients – rowan berry, bog myrtle, heather, coul blush apple and dandelion leaf. These five main botanicals enhance the remaining six traditional botanicals. This special mix of botanicals results in a crisp well balanced dry gin. Although there are hints of citrus, apple, spice and juniper... the flavors are subtle and smooth. For enjoyable G&T options serve with a garnish of choice. Excellent! — 3 years ago

Apothic
Inferno Small Batch Limited Release Red Blend
Inspired by the “Apotheca”, a mysterious place where some of the earliest wine was blended and stored, Apothic wines offers a truly unique wine experience.
A red blend emerges from the flames, creating a most unexpected and masterful encounter.
Paying tribute to a time-honored craft, this wine has been aged for 60 days in whiskey barrels, creating bold notes of red and dark fruit with layers of maple and spice. — a year ago
House Spirits Distillery
Limited Edition Rum
Katun, Batch No. 54. Distilled with molasses, barrel aged. Made in small lots at a micro distillery. Coco nutty, grassy and buttery nose. Strong, clean, no fake flavors. Spice in mouth, dry, but no added natural or artificial anything. I drink it neat in a snifter or added to my daily coffee. Yes, I’d rather be drinking wine or hard cider, but if I’m going to do craft distilled beverages, this is a quality choice. — 5 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). — 3 years ago
Kirkland 12 yr scotch is McCallan.
The Kaikyo Distillery
Hatozaki Small Batch Finest Japanese Whisky
A little more spice and heat than the finest. — 4 years ago
Cotswolds Distillery
Dry Gin Small Batch Release 2014
Floral, interesting and delightful. Doesn’t need much mixer. Refreshing. — 5 years ago

It’s got that smooth flavor of Buffalo Trace with that slight kick that warms the chest. Definitely for sipping. It’s a small batch blend that I hope will be marketed widely. — 9 months ago
