Bearface Triple Oak

Category: Canadian Whisky
Origin: Canada
Author: @Leviatan11
Rating: 73/100
Review: “I had a chance to taste the element whiskies at Festival Of Whisky at Jastrzębia Góra in Poland, which are used to produce this one and talk to the Master Blender. This is very experimental product, but already good. And that’s cool someone is experimenting in the world of whisky so bravely! “

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof

Category: Tennessee Whiskey
Origin: United States
Author: @AsleepInTheBack
Rating: 84/100
Review: “Rich red cherry, grape candy, toffee/caramel, whiff of peanut, high proof (ginger, chilli, peppercorn vibes), soft banana on the finish.”

Johnnie Walker Red Label

Category: Blend
Origin: Scotland
Author: @DutchDanny
Rating: 68/100
Review: “Tasted blind and was suprised about the taste, the smoke is there but not overwelming. After that there is the taste of some sweetness, something like butterscotch. “

Origin: Scotland
Author: @user42228314
Rating: 45/100
Review: “Punch to the face of peat and smoke. A staple, and I really wanted to like, but again I don’t have enough hair on my chest”

Octomore Edition 11.1

Category: Single Malt
Origin: Scotland
Author: @Kermel
Rating: 95/100
Review: “I was looking forward to yet another tasting if my favourite brand and I was not disappointed. Very nice and soft vanilla, sweeting, cinnamon nose. Despite being the most ppmed whisky it is not very smoky/iodine/peaty-whatever. Just nice harmony of taste and soft smoky/salty hints. Simply beautiful.”

Virginia Distillery Courage & Conviction Bourbon Cask

Origin: United States
Author: @VWTDI02
Rating: 75/100
Review: “Nose: Almonds, pear, slight creaminess, and lemon Palate: Ginger, black pepper and malt. Finish: Black pepper and candied ginger. Overall: Definitely different from their regular single malt but lacks the vanilla/caramel you expect from bourbon. Not bad but just meh”
