yes its a blend! a good one too. actually, this is my go to, period! The flavour profile is honey, butterscotch, vanilla and it's really quite smooth. It mixes really well too. I'm reasonably sure that I've purchased this brand more than any other. T...

This blend is finished in tequila casks. I don't really get any flavour of tequila as such but there is a more citrusy edge to this one which makes it stand out from the original. I myself prefer the original but this offers a nice twist nonetheless.
Chivas Regal 13 Year Old Scotch Whisky - Techila cask finish

A stunning single malt Scotch. I heard somewhere that since 2020 Jura is the fastest growing single malt brand in the US. I'm not surprised. This is definely one of the best I've ever tried. Citrus on the nose. On the palate honey, spice, slightly sm...

I could really taste the rum flavours coming through in this. Some sweetness and a hint of spice. I've tried other whiskies with a rum cask finish including Dewar's Caribbean Smooth, which is rather good, but Jura is my favourite.

If ever I want to go for something on the cheaper side, this is my go to. Actually I believe Bell's was the very first Whisky I ever tried. When I was knee high, I dipped my finger in my dad's glass and had a little sip.😋 It's probably one of the m...
Bell's Original

Irish

Honestly, this stuff is so smooth you could almost forget that it's whisky. It most certainly is though! Apparently it has aniseed, pepper and vanilla notes on the palate and banana on the nose. Seriously though, I find it difficult to pick out anyth...
Jameson Triple Distilled - Jameson Irish Whiskey

Not as sweet as Jameson's but still pretty smooth. It's quite mild on the nose. Taste is a bit woody with hints of citrus and honey. Also good for mixing.
Bushmills Irish Whiskey

Well, what can I say? I've already reviewed the Bushmills Original, but this is something else. You may be forgiven for thinking.. “Sherry cask finish, hmmm.. is it really all that?” the short answer is “Yeah, it really is!” The first Taoscán definit...

Bourbon

I've tried a few Bourbons. I first had this one earlier in the year. It's definitely one of the better that I've sampled. Vanilla and spices hit my nose right away. I get caramel/toffee and spice on the palate. Also I believe it's been aged 8 years. ...
Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey, 70cl, 40% ABV

I love the shape of the bottle. The whiskey isn't too bad either. If you like a bit of a kick in your Bourbon, this one is for you. Personally, I do like it, but it is a bit firey, so if that's not your thing, be warned!
Woodford Reserve

This is actually the very first Bourbon I ever tried. It smells of oak and caramel. On the palate Vanilla, spices, hint of chocolate and a slightly peppery finish It isn't as complex as some Bourbons I've tried but it's an exceptionally nice drink an...
