As promised, here are my continued notes on 5 further days
of world whiskeys.
- World Whisky Blend (That
Boutique-y Whisky Company)
https://www.thatboutiqueywhiskycompany.com/blog/worldwhiskyblend
Traditionally distillers and bottlers blend whiskeys to
create a specific flavor or maintain it across multiple bottlings. This was an odd duck blending multiple whiskeys
from across the world. Perhaps a better
palate than mine could speak to its unique character but I found it rather
average—a beverage distinguished by its pedigree rather than its singular
experience.
- Copper Republic Single Grain
Whiskey

This was interesting if not exceptional. It had lighter notes but suffered from a lack
of aging. Worth a try if not repeat buys.
- Teeling Small Batch

This was excellent—so good I wish I had more than a
sample. It was rich and flavorful—obviously
drawing character from aging in rum casks.
I’ve always loved good Irish whiskey and this was something I’ll be
looking for again.
- Starward Solera
https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/new-world-whisky/starward-solera-whisky/
Ah, the good stuff😉 I never thought I’d be loving
a Scotch derivative from Australia but this proved me wrong as several of these
offerings have. This has a nice nose and
a beautiful taste. The finish is a
little lacking—short as if it runs out of gas just before the end—but has a rich
smooth complexity to it.
I misidentified one of my bottles so I’ll have to come back
when I figure out which one it was.
Anyway, there are lots more in the box😉
