About me? I am a Whisky Educator, Travel-Tourist and Blogger. I blog tasting notes about (mostly Scotch) beer and whisky at The Whiskyphiles. I keep progress of my travels via the Alfred Barnard Society. Based in Livingston, Scotland I do most of my dramming at the University of Edinburgh Water of Life Society and Scotch Malt Whisky Society.

Some depth and well-balanced, reveals a little more complexity and not as sweet as some Bourbons. 84/100
Another select barrel of great quality from Jack Daniels, great balance of sweet and spice, definitely one to savour on its own. 84/100
‘Manhattan’ like orange and bitter oak and plenty of woody brown sugar sweetness, oak and honey. 83/100
Some interesting peach flavour but not a lot going on here that excites me. 80/100
A rather polished expression and quite sweet and estery with plenty of banana, a nice touch of liqourice and aniseed adds some depth to the flavour. 81/100
A relaxed and easy drinking bourbon, soft and sugary and full of vanillic oak wood. 80/100
Quite light on the nose with a little more punch and plenty of spices on the palate, overall quite pleasant. 80/100
A heady spiced and sweet rye with some lovely butterscotch undertones. 84/100
Full of dark chocolate, rose and some well-integrated fruit flavours such as plum and fig, surprisingly well-balanced and not too sweet for a port maturation, with woody and spirit influences presented to perfection. 91/100
