This is just doing great. Aromatics were great on popping but they faded fast which is the only downside. It’s got great acidity and a nice long finish that sticks around. Listening to America the Beautiful :) Happy 4th! — 7 days ago

Ok this is basically PX! You can see it in the color and it shows in the flavors. Basically a raisin. — 18 days ago

This is an odd one. I don’t recall tasting a bottle like this. It’s light and smooth, no real bite or power but a flavor profile some call exotic, I call odd. It’s seriously sweet but it doesn’t have the flavors I expected from an ex-bourbon. It’s got almost a fake sweetness to it. At one point I thought it was finished in something else potentially a mescal cask. Evidently this is symptomatic of single grain and long holds. I think it’s more my wife’s style than mine. — 8 days ago

Definitely a sherry bomb has a bit of heat and while it has a long finish it’s all in the tongue and no cheeks. The nose is light. Good not amazing. — 18 days ago

Eiko Fuji - White Sun this is unfiltered so it has strong rice overtones and a smooth mouthfeel. That said this has stronger acidity than expected and that definitely comes across on the finish but also makes it nice for a hot day. — 13 days ago

Kikusui Perfect Snow - this is a heavy, thick sake with a stronger than expected alcohol bite. I should have known this from the name but for some reason was thinking it would be like Hakkaisan Snow-aged sake. Clearly not. — 13 days ago
