Not An Alcoholic

Definitely get apples on the nose, like a yellow apple, not a red or green variety. A lot less flavor than I was expecting frankly. Nothing bad, tastes more like a weak green apple. Just not a very strong flavor. Very drinkable though. 8/10Definitely get apples on the nose, like a yellow apple, not a red or green variety. A lot less flavor than I was expecting frankly.

Smells sweet, but still strong, maybe a little bit of the corn in the nose, but not much. Mouth is soft, smooth, warm, lots of corn notes, like corn on the cob with butter. It's sweet, and maybe a little buttery, really pleasant. I also get some grassier notes. 8.5/10

Made a non-traditional Manhattan tonight. It honestly doesn't smell like much, but it's smooth, silky, the alcohol flavor arrives late, but the front is a lot of warm vermouth flavors, little bits of cereal from the whiskey, the bitters soften the edges. 😙👌 9/10

Smells crisp and sweet, maybe a bit of apple or pear nose. The mouth feel is very smooth, maybe a bit thin, super drinkable, sweet, lots of cereal notes, maybe a tiny bit of cinnamon, a bit buttery on the end. Very pleasant. 9.3/10 Requested by  @IKnapz

Smells very strongly of earthy smoky wood. Like the smell of campfire. And that little sherry glass is releasing so much smell. In the mouth its sweeter and smoother than I was expecting, with lots of deep rich smoke notes. Rich smoke gives almost to a soft grass note. 9/10 @MuteddR6  Requested Lagavulin 16. I was unable to get a bottle of Lagavulin, but this is also a single malt long aged scotch, from the south part of Islay, with a similar peat smoking method I keep sipping, I'm getting a mineral note, almost like a smoked salt. But it's not like, acrid, or palate desiccating or anything, it's really well structured around the smoke. I can see myself sipping a glass on a cold winter night.

No bottle rating tonight, but I made a mixed rum pain killer. I'll put the exact recipe in the replies. It's cold, it's sweet, its got a little bit of funk, a little bit of barrel taste, and lots of sugary rum taste. Very very good. 9.8/10 3oz Pineapple juice 1oz Creme of coconut 1oz Orange Juice 1oz DonQ Gold 1/2oz Appleton estate 12 1/2oz Smith and Cross shaken with lots of crushed ice and open poured.

Smells super strongly of oranges, technically this is an apertif not an orange liqueur, but orange is certainly its most dominant flavor/aroma. Mildly sweet, with bits of orange peel notes, it really does taste a lot like orange oil, honestly really drinkable. 9/10

I love what this company is doing but this review will be how much I like their product as a vodka. It has an earthy smell, a little chocolatey, but that's not quite right. The mouth is a bit better, it isnt quite neutral but its not bad. Smooth, almost soft, a tinge bitter 6/10

Smells like banana pudding and vanilla wafers, super strong nose. A little thin on the palate, sweet, simple, inoffensive. I do taste some banana and a little vanilla, but it's a very soft flavor in comparison to the nose. A perfectly serviceable rum, but, not my favorite 7/10

I get a white wine note from the nose, also maybe an apricot smell, some sort of soft non-citrus fruit. Smooth in the mouth, malty, warm, bits of baking spice, other grain notes, it's sweet, its very well rounded. Good to sip. Probably my favorite whiskey I've had. 9.2/10
