This is an interesting Highland single malt. It’s a bit rougher than others I’ve had. Nose of orange, sherbert, caramel, but also a big hit of alcohol and acetone. The mouth is more of the same with a stronger acetone background. The worst part is a copper taste that carries on through the finish. It drinks hot, but not too hot. Drinks like a younger whisky. — 2 months ago
A little sweeter than I usually prefer, but it’s clean and refreshing. Quite of bit of fruit with notes of almonds and even a little pine — 7 months ago
I had the Espadin version of this mezcal and it was pretty spectacular. One of the best I’ve had in the USA. Smoky, herbal with a nice sweetness at the end. It’s a very full and complex mezcal. — 25 days ago
An absolute embarrassment for Jim Beam & Co. Tastes like a Canadian whiskey mixed with a shitty dark rum and spiked with high fructose corn syrup. This is something you drink when you are hating yourself, like some Leaving Las Vegas shit. Sorority girls would find this too sweet and bland. Avoid. — 2 months ago
First of all, great value at $55. This is an intense anejo that doesn’t allow the barrel to overwhelm the agave. Just a touch a sweetness makes this a fantastic digestif. The nose: caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, agave, white pepper, coconut, pineapple. The tongue: more of the same with a nice alcohol presence that really cuts through the richness. — 6 months ago
I’m torn. I don’t usually care for super sweet sakes, and this one is definitely that, but I had a ton of fun drinking this. This thing is HUGE. Almost overwhelming notes of cantaloupe, honeydew, banana, kiwi and pineapple are all up in your face when this hits your lips. It’s got plenty of alcohol to cut through the rich sweetness but almost no acidity. It’s lush and boozy and a hell of a good time, even if I wouldn’t call it a great sake overall. — 2 months ago
It pains me to speak against my fellow Memphis people, but this thing just ain’t it. It’s not bad by any stretch and I’d say it’s an adequate example of the basic bourbon profile, but there’s just nothing else going on here. — 5 months ago
Got this in Paris from a small vendor and was blown away. Rich, vibrant and decadent. — 7 months ago

I just don’t care for it. Feels like a whisky that’s trying really hard to be several interesting things at once, but ends up not doing any of them particularly well. A little smoky, a little funky, a little fruity, a little oaky, a little sweet. You want it to just pick a direction and go for it. No thanks. — 7 days ago
