Review: Oban 18 year old Single Malt Highland Scotch Whisky
Oban 18 year old Single Malt Highland Scotch Whisky
43% ABV / 750ml
One of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and known as the
"Gateway to the Isles,” that was founded by John and Hugh Stevenson who
not only of the distillery at Oban but of the town itself. Together they
established a boat building yard and a tannery and, in the 1790s a brewery,
which had become Oban distillery by 1794.
This is a rare bottling from theWestern Highland distillery selected to mature four years longer than Oban 14yr. Giving Oban 18yr a rounder, more developed flavor with sweeter notes suchas banana and toasted teacake that are balanced with a wee-bit of sea salt. Amedium bodied single malt whisky with a smooth texture and rhubarb, driedfruits, and plum on the palate that finish with cocoa, smoke and aniseed withlong oak tannins, this is the perfect fall scotch that rewards you with eachsip.

Review: Col E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Review: Col E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bottled in Bond Bourbon
50%
ABV / 750ml
As one founding father of the bourbon industry, Colonel
Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. left an indelible legacy. His dedication to
distilling began at the close of the Civil War when he purchased O.F C.
Distillery. There, he developed innovative techniques that are still in use
today. Taylor and Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle helped pioneer The
Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, which means
that the bourbon come from barrels all produced at one distillery, in a single
season, and then stored in a bonded warehouse for at least four years before
being bottled at 100 proof.
Made by hand, this Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey has been aged inside century old warehouses constructed by Taylor in 1881. This bourbon is a true sipping whiskey that honors the uncompromising legacy of Taylor with distinctive caramel corn sweetness, toffee, butterscotch, green apple, licorice that is slightly tart with a long dry finish.
