Mackmyra Brukswhisky
Swedish Whisky. Color me impressed. It’s more subtly sweet like a sherry or bourbon-finished (Huh. Turns out: both.) Only the faintest bit smokey. Really tasty.
Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Single Barrel Vintage, 2003
Oooooh, this one’s confusing. I went to go see what year of the Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage I’ve tried and it turns out it’s this one. And I had a completely different experience last time. Last time I thought it was good but nothing to write home about. Last time was recently. So recently that my palate really should not have shifted, at least not this drastically.
This time:
Heavily vanilla and bread and fruit but somehow not super sweet, spicy with no bitter back-end. A few things that are just on the tip of my tongue (har—actually more to the back) but I haven’t been able to place them. It’s definitely aligned pretty well for my palate but threre’s a lot of fun stuff going on in there, not just the sweet.
The original is here.
Not my favorite. Probably not even a go-to but I wouldn’t turn it down. It was tasty but not remarkable for my palate.
Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky
Dalmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 18-year
Not for me. It smells amazing. One inhale is fresh, still sticky, caramel corn and the next is campfire and that held such wonderful promise. But it has the same aftertaste as the Whistlepig Rye did and that’s an absolute no-go for my palate. I couldn’t finish it.
