Mars Shinshu "Iwai 45" Japanese Whisky (750ml)
Review Date: 11-28-2021
Nose of dried cherries and wore-in leather. On the palate there are strong citrus and wood notes. Not oaky wood, but more outdoorsy forest wood. A nice hint of vanilla sneaks through towards the finish. Good flavors to experiment with some whiskey cocktails.
Mars Shinshu "Iwai" Japanese Whisky (750ml)
Review Date: 11-27-2021
This is a light and delicate whiskey, extremely pleasant to sip before an evening meal. The nose evokes a cup of black tea sweetened with honey. That warm honey note gets stronger on the palate changing to a honey/lemon hard candy and follows through all the way to the finish. "Nuanced" is the best word to describe this whiskey. There are no hard edges or heavy flavors, just a pleasant afternoon drinking experience before the sun the sun goes down.

$24.99
Willett Family Estate 4 Year Old Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
Review Date: 11-24-2021
A robust cask strength rye that warms with every sip. The nose pulls heavily from classic rye spices and citrus zests. The taste opens up to a host of sweat breads, dried fruits and roasted nuts, the finish lingers for a quite a while. At 4 years, this drinks like a much older whiskey, one of the finest in the Willett line.

Rowan's Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Review Date: 11-24-2021
A hearty mid-proofed bourbon with a spicy herbaceous nose. Strong woody notes on the palate and nice crisp oaky finish. This is a solid choice for nightcap or a bit of elevation for your cocktail.

Noah's Mill Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Review Date: 11-24-2021
This is the type of bourbon that warms you up from the inside. The sweet honey tea aroma grabs you immediately and stays in your nose for a nice long time. On the palette you are treated to rich, round flavors of hot caramel, honey-drops, and candies cherries. Just like the nose, the finish goes on for days!

Redwood Empire "Grizzly Beast" Bottled in Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)
Review Date: 11-22-2021
This is everything you want from a Bottle-In-Bond bourbon. It's strong, nuanced, layered, and has taste for days. A 5-year distillate of their own making (a true grain-forward expression), this bourbon has strong cherry and honeycomb notes with a long buttercream finish. Perfect as an everyday sipper or as an after meal treat, Redwood Empire's "Grizzly Beast" is a fantastic choice as a gift for a bourbon lover looking for something new. As an added bonus, Redwood Empire plants a tree for every bottle sold!
