1997 First Editions Bowmore 14 Years Review
(14 Years, 54.8% ABV, $80) Warm and fruity with an elegant malty smokiness. This is tasty stuff, a great cask of Bowmore.

Trader Joe's Highland Single Malt Sherry Cask Review
(3+ Years, 40% ABV, $30) A Trader Joe's scotch that doesn't just not suck, but is actually quite good. Good enough that I'll be buying it again

Bear Fight American Single Malt Review
(3 Years, 45% ABV, $40) In the growing world of American Single Malts this one is a miss. Instead, go with a brand like Stranahans or Westland who don't try to hide who they are and what they do.

Imperial Hiram Walker American Blended Whiskey Review
(NAS, 43% ABV, $NA) This is just plain terrible. I don't know if it was ever good, but all three of the dusties I had of this were just as bad and went down the drain.

High West Campfire Batch 22F29 Review
(NAS, 46% ABV, $80) A heavy layer of peated scotch is surrounded by lighter layers of bourbon and rye notes that makes for one heck of a nice drinker.

High West Midwinter Night's Dram Act 10 Scene 6 Review
(NAS, 49.3% ABV, $150) This is a severe disappointment. It's a whiskey I've held in high esteem for so long and to get a batch like this, with a poorly done label to boot, makes me wonder what's going on over there.

Filmland Spirits Ryes Of The Robots Review
(4+ Years, 47% ABV, $65) It's a 4+ year-old 95/5 MGP rye and it smells and tastes exactly like you think it would if you're well versed in that classic MGP profile.

Tincup Fourteener Bourbon Whiskey Review
(14 Years, 42% ABV, $70) A really good bourbon and, I have to say, a really nice value given the age. It's surprising all around.

Frey Ranch Quad Malt Bourbon Review
(5+ Years, 45% ABV, $60) Grassy, sweet and tasty, this is a good whiskey for sipping, and even better for mixing. It brings a new profile to old cocktails.

Frey Ranch 100% Malted Corn Bourbon Review
(5+ Years, 55% ABV, $60) Sweetly spicy and grassy , it's a fun whiskey to sip on, slowly dilute with water and yes, even to mix with. It's quite nice across the board.

Frey Ranch Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey Review
(4+ Years, 65.9% ABV, $90) A bold, big and complex spice bomb, this a rye for rye lovers who don't shy away from a heavy bit of oak.

Square 6 High-Rye Rye Whiskey Review
(4+ Years, 47.5% ABV, $90) A basic, middle-of-the-road, rye whiskey. It has a LOT of potential, and this is the just the beginning. I hope it gets better over time.

Square 6 High-Rye Bourbon Review
(4+ Years, 74.5% ABV, $90) This is a sub-par bourbon. Which I wouldn't have expected from Heaven Hill, but here we are. I hope it gets better with future releases.
