    Wolves Wally's Blend

    Wolves Whiskey
    Blend

    This is one of my favorite whiskeys. It has an interesting history, distilled from craft beer, then aged and blended in various ways. I snagged one of the limited 846 bottles, and happened to find another one later on. On the nose, I get apples and cinnamon, beachwood, and vanilla. On the palate, caramel, dried fruits, hay, honey, and some hops. The finish is all hops, but not in the IPA-way—it's dark and mellow, but you know it's hops. Lots of rye spice and strong oak flavor throughout. If you don't know Wolves yet, you should. And keep an eye out for a rerelease of this one.

    Laphroaig 10-year-old Sherry Oak Finish

    Laphroaig
    Single Malt
    Aged 10 years

    Dark fruits, cherry, woody oak, cigar smoke, and dark cocoa. If you aren't a fan of Laphroaig's usual medicinal profile, this is a scotch for you, and if you are a fan, this is still a scotch for you.

    Lagavulin 11-year-old Offerman Edition Charred Oak Cask

    Single Malt
    Aged 11 years

    Less heat than I was expecting. Very smooth. Lots of delicate flavors break through the characteristic Lagavulin smoke and peat — vanilla, charcoal, lemon peel, cocoa, and a sort of briney char. Very enjoyable.
