Fireball nuber #1!
Can I get a link to the Jesus Whiskey (advent calendar?) under discussion?
Jesus Whiskey 3 is Caol Ila 18 Yr (86 pf). I’m super familiar with the 14 yr but less so with the 18 yr. It’s super peaty at first but it dissipates quickly so it’s not overwhelming, and there is a menthol finish on it which is interesting. It’s got a nice spice to it and lots of wood. This is really nice and different. This is one of this scotches that is nice to have around for one glass every once in a while and not something to crush.
I picked up a bottle of Old Ezra 7 the other day on a whim. Haven’t cracked it yet but looking forward to trying it
Probably been discussed here sometime back, but finally came across a bottle of Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star. It’s not aged 10 years anymore but more like 6. Still at $28 for a 1.75 bottle it’s a pretty decent sipper.
Was out yesterday so I’ve got two to open today. Jesus whiskey 11 is Singleton of Dufftown 18 Year Old (80pf). Right off the bat this is super malty with lots of vanilla and some spiciness. Very smooth and easy drinking. Nothing bad to say about it.
Whiskey 12 is House of Hazelwood 18 year (80pf). This one is quite different. Much lighter in color and in heft. There is both a lot going on and not much going on at the same time. I’m kind of perplexed by it. It’s not terribly interesting for me, but it’s still a nice drinking whiskey. Well this is a terrible review. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
