I used Stellum Cask Strength Black Bourbon over the weekend and liked it more than I expected. It was mellow, with a nice touch of vanilla and oak. Good bottle for the price.

I liked the balance in this bottle. The first thing I noticed was the floral, then a little oak on the finish. It felt natural with food and was easy for everyone to enjoy.

Really liked this one. Ole Smoky Hunch Punch Lightnin' Moonshine Minis 6 x felt balanced from the first pour, with a good mix of smooth and fruit. It is the kind of bottle I would keep around for weekends.

Peerless Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey worked exactly how I needed it to. Smooth enough to drink casually, but flavorful enough that the oak and caramel did not get lost. Happy with it.

JURA 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was a good choice for the shelf. It had a smooth feel, and the oak came through without covering up the vanilla. I would buy it again for guests.

J Harden California Red Wine was a good choice for the shelf. It had a clean feel, and the rich came through without covering up the oak. I would buy it again for guests.

I bought La Luna Chino Silvestre Mezcal Artesanal because the description sounded interesting, and it matched pretty well. The agave note was clear, the citrus was softer, and the overall taste was bright. I liked that it tasted close to what the product notes described.

I used Doc Swinson's Exploratory Cask El Cuerpo PX Sherry Finish Bourbon over the weekend and liked it more than I expected. It was easygoing, with a nice touch of chocolate and honey. Good bottle for the price.

This bottle had a good, honest flavor. Glengoyne 21 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky was not harsh, and the honey plus cinnamon notes made it feel a little more special than a basic pick.
