  • See the Full BevX Featured Review & Beverage of the Week

    Brilliant, pale amber color. The aromatics are intense and complex with waves of honey, toffee, ginger, candied citrus zest, and cocoa nibs. The palate echoes the nose delivering a rich and powerful honey and malt-driven core with waves of vanilla, dark chocolate, and citrus with hints of black pepper and sea salt. Full-bodied with dense malt throughout balanced with fresh acidity, citrus, and right salinity. Since much to our shock and horror Old Pulteney discontinued their great 17-year-old, this lovely 15-year-old is our new favorite Old Pulteney Malt. $90 – 5 Stars

    • Old Pulteney 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

  • Brilliant, pale gold with a touch of amber. The nose is beautiful and delicate offering scents of honey, wild flowers, Bourbon cask, salty sea air, and sweet malt. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a creamy, sweet malt-driven core with flanking notes of sea salt and honeycomb, nutmeg, and citrus zest rising on the finish. Medium-bodied and ideally proportioned offering with perfect balance thanks to a dose of bright acidity. This version of the Old Pulteney 12 is different than in years past with a greater Bourbon impression and a lower ABV (previously bottled at 43%). $45 – 4 Stars

    • Downslope Distilling Double Diamond American Whiskey

  • Brilliant amber color. The nose is incredibly complex and luxurious with waves of ripe red fruits, sweet malt, dried apples and apricots, loads of brown baking spices, and subtle citrus accents. The palate echoes the nose delivering a robust and silky fruit and malt-driven core with flanking notes of caramel, vanilla, and Sherry. Medium-bodied and ideally balanced with fruit, grains, and oak in perfect harmony. The Downslope Double Diamond proves that age is just a number. What this Whiskey lacks in age statement it more than makes up for with mature spirit flavors on the palate. A lovely American Whiskey. $34.99 – 4.5 Stars

    • G'Vine Floraison Gin

  • Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are very floral with a hint of citrus and a Genever-like sweetness with hints of fenugreek, green cardamon, and gooseberry. The palate echoes the nose delivering a sweet, fruit driven core with green spices, lime zest, and ginger. This is a soft and gentle Gin that may be too soft and gentle for some hardcore Gin lovers. It is undeniably balanced with great length and depth. $35.99 – 3 Stars

    • Chinaco Añejo, 100% Agave Tequila

  • Pale golden color. The nose is beautiful and complex with scents of baked apple and pear accented by vanilla and hints of brown butter. The palate echoes the nose delivering a lush and stylish añejo that offers tremendous fruit as pretty cask flavors/spice flavors that linger on the finish. Medium-bodied with a bright dose of acid. $55 – 3 Stars

    • Auchentoshan American Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky

  • Brilliant, crystal clear. The soft, floral, and subtly fruity Whisky takes second billing to bright Bourbon cask notes offering scents of toasted shaved coconut, vanilla bean, orange peel, and brown baking spices with hints of toasted grain emerging on the finish. The palate echoes the nose while it does reveal some very youthful spirit notes that become a bit peppery and spirity on the finish. It's medium-bodied with the oak pulling much of the freight with a bright and vibrant acidity. $40 – 3.5 Stars

    • Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt Whisky

  • Brilliant, deep golden to copper color. The aromatics lead with a bright dose of fresh, reeky peat smoke supported by toasted grain, honey, and rich caramel with accents of baking spices and a hint of lemon zest. The palate confirms the nose delivering a dense and chewy malt Whisky with waves of honey, peat smoke, clove, and butterscotch rising on the finish. Full-bodied with perfect balance thanks to the bright peat and citrus accents. $69.99 – 3.5 Stars

    • Francescano Natura Assisi Melon Cream Liqueur

  • Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is filled with the scents of fresh-cut cantaloupe with accents of Japanese Kasugai Melon candy and watermelon hard candy with soft dairy cream. The palate is in great agreement with the nose while being more cream and less fruit than the nose would suggest. Medium-bodied with incredible viscosity coating every corner of your mouth. $21.99 – 3.5 Stars
