The palate entry offers succulent flavors of almond paste, candy and oaky vanilla; the midpalate is woody, caramel-like, with hints of dried yellow fruit, white pepper and spice.

Toffee, mocha, and vapor aromas. A quick entry leads to a dryish medium-bodied palate with caramel, roasted nut, and white pepper flavors. Finishes with a charred oak, honey, and caramel fade with lingering hot pepper." -Beverage Testing Institute   Canadian Mist Blended Whiskey Origin: Canada   Gold Medal -San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2005 Featured -Sante Magazine "Rich and well balanced with mild aromas of dried fruit, vanilla, olive, and green apple. Rich and smooth on the palate with hints of caramel, green apple, and vanilla; smoky, peppery finish. Warm and inviting." -Sante Magazine   Compass Box Eleuthera Origin: Scotland   90-95 Points -Wine Enthusiast   "Pale straw hue...assertive scents of licorice, brine and medium peat. Palate entry is focused, concentrated and fiery; by mid-palate the three-alarm blaze calms down and this reduction in spirity heat allows the flavor package of peat, dry malt and licorice to shine through. Aftertaste is embers-warm, peaty, briny, and delicious." -Wine Enthusiast   Crown Royal Extra Rare Origin: Canada   5 Stars/Highest Recommendation -Spirit Journal 96-100 Points -Wine Enthusiast Best of Class -International Wine & Spirits Competition 2006 "The bouquet offers rich, pastry scents with deeper fragrances of old oak, figs, dates and prunes. The palate entry is creamy, engagingly nutty, acidic and fresh; the midpalate offers long, expansive tastes of oak resin, paraffin, nougat and walnut paste. Concludes elegantly, sinewy and off-dry. This whisky has it all." -Wine Enthusiast   Crown Royal Special Reserve Origin: Canada   5 Stars/Highest Recommendation -Spirit Journal 96-100 Points -Wine Enthusiast "Aroma includes honey, Sherry, dried fruit, spearmint and nougat, black tea, cocoa butter and tropical fruit.

In the mouth, there’s a wide range of tantalizing flavors, including loose tobacco, raisins and coffee. The bites the tongue at first, then mellows..." -Wine Enthusiast   George Dickel #8 Origin: USA (Tennessee)   85-89 Points -Wine Enthusiast 86 Points -Beverage Testing Institute "The nosing passes find scents of lanolin, textile fiber and fireplace soot following early smells of wax. The palate entry displays toasty flavors that wrap around core tastes of dried fruit and nuts; the midpalate stage reveals the waxy quality first detected in the opening bouquet." -Wine Enthusiast   George Dickel No. 12 Original Tennessee Whisky Origin: USA (Tennessee)   90-95 Points -Wine Enthusiast 90 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Double Gold Medal -San Francisco World Spirits Comp. '07 "The delightful bouquet offers potent tobacco ash, paraffin, sweet oak and grain kernel. The palate entry has spirity warmth and tastes of cigarette tobacco, light honey and cereal grain; midpalate texture is creamy and deliciously sooty. Finishes buttery, spirity and clean." -Wine Enthusiast   Jack Daniels Single Barrel Tennessee Whisky Origin: USA (Tennessee)   89 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Silver Medal -International Wine & Spirits Competition "Rich amber color. High-toned, sweet, white toffee aromas. A lush, round entry leads to a medium-bodied palate with caramel and brown spice flavors. Finishes with a wave of charcoal, oak, and pepper. Very well-balanced and stylish.

Seville oranges and dusk in Valencia. Palate: I have died and gone to heaven. Warm oily spice, cardamom, cinnamon, fine sherry notes Finish: Rumbles on for ages...pepper and chocolate This is the best damn blend you will ever, ever taste." -Peter Mulryan: Whisky Magazine   Jameson 18 Year Irish Whiskey Origin: Ireland   DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL -San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2007 85-89 Points -Wine Enthusiast   "Opening aromas are of cotton fabric and wet hay; time in the glass doesn’t deepen the fragrance, adding only very delicate notes of damp grain, nectarine and spearmint. Palate entry is properly sweet and deliciously grainy; at the midpalate the flavor profile does its best work as taut tastes of oak resin, malted grains, pears, light honey and toasted honey wheat bread make a clear, definitive statement. Aftertaste is predictably mild, softly sweet and more grainy than woody." -Wine Enthusiast   Jameson Irish Whiskey Origin: Ireland   85-89 Points -Wine Enthusiast 86 Points -Beverage Testing Institute "In the mouth, Jameson shows its best face as clean, tart, edged flavors of oak, vanilla extract, red apple, and grain combine for a very pleasant, straightforward taste experience. The aftertaste is semisweet, medium-long and almost caramel-like. The taste and the finish were sound enough to pull it through to recommended territory." -Wine Enthusiast    Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey Origin: Ireland   Best in Class -International Wine & Spirits Competition Silver Medal -International Review of Spirits 85 Points -Beverage Testing Institute "Drawing on centuries of tradition and craft, Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey is distilled from the purest clear water and the finest malted Irish barley and maize, gently matured for long years in oak casks in the ancient warehouses in Kilbeggan and skilfully blended to create a whiskey of unique smoothness, character and balance." -International Wine & Spirits Competition   Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey Origin: Canada   87 Points/Best Buy -Wine Enthusiast "Soft gold in color, this rye bears aromas of light spices and pepper mixed with a slight fruitiness.  The body is big and full, and the palate shows a great balance of delicate rye qualities—spring flowers and light spices—playing off some deep, dark fruits. The finish is crisp and clean, with a burst of sweetness." -Wine Enthusiast   Powers Gold Irish Whiskey Origin: Ireland   Double Gold Medal -San Francisco World Spirits Competition Powers is distinctive for its warm and full-bodied flavor, an explosive mixture of spices, which linger on the tongue.  A past recipient of The American Taste Award for Excellence.   Redbreast 12 Year Irish Whiskey Origin: Ireland   92 Points -Wine Enthusiast Best Irish Whiskey/Double Gold Medal -San Francisco World Spirits Competition   Unique among whiskeys, Redbreast is a 'single' unblended, pure pot still Irish Whiskey which has been triple distilled in oak casks for not less than 12 years.

Finishes nicely with a grainy and nutty character."  -Beverage Tasting Institute   Tangle Ridge 10 Year Double Blended Whiskey   88 Points -Beverage Testing Institute "Amber hue. Sweet caramel and vanilla nose. Very smooth and supple on the attack with a slightly sweet, light body followed by caramel and brown spices. Finishes with a touch of peppery heat and plenty of assertive wood spice flavors."  -Beverage Testing Institute   Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey Origin: Ireland   85-89 Points -Wine Enthusiast 88 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Silver Medal -International Review of Spirits "The sweet palate entry gives way to a midpalate off-dry firmness which spotlights caramel, toffee, woody flavors; succulent and feather-light on the tongue, but strangely the concentrated fruitiness isn’t evident in the taste. The finish is clean, medium-long, sweet and squarely focused on the caramel/toffee component."  -Wine Spectator   Wiser's Very Old 18yr Canadian Whiskey Origin: Canada   90 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Gold Medal -International Review of Spirits   "Light amber hue. Attractive caramel and coconut cream aromas. A supple attack leads to a very smooth, light-to medium body with pronounced caramel, white pepper, brown spice, and rancio notes that linger on a smooth finish. A very flavorful Canadian whiskey.
