Amburana finished whiskey. People either love or hate it, but that wood does some amazing things. I have had a few Bourbons finished in Amburana and the Teeling Explorer Series is 🤤

Jack Daniel Single Barrel Barrel Proof.

After only trying 07 or whatever my whole adulthood I thought Jack was Wack. When I tried the barrel proof I was like no way this is the same distillery. Straight banana bomb. It was bananas. 🍌

Widow Jane Decadence. I was blown away.

It’s a 10 year bourbon finished in barrels once used to store maple syrup. So I thought it might “taste flavored”, but it doesn’t. The maple finish just adds so much depth and richness. 🤤 🥃

Milam & Greene 4yr store pick was oddly amazing. Also, the Representative (Proof & Wood) 4 yr Bourbon was very good.

Young bourbon can be very rough, so both of these surprised me. That Milam & Greene was a top 10 bottle for me all time.

The New Zealand Whisky Company’s South Island 25. First came across it in Japan while just trying a bunch of new stuff at Liquor Mountain - ended up falling in love with it / tracking down whatever in stock bottles I could in Tokyo. Got lucky to snag an extra few from a specialty wine & liquor store in the States, and have been enjoying them for special occasions. Top 3 bottle for me (am a big Japanese whisky aficionado and would put it above Yamazaki 18, Nikka 21, and some other nice ones I’ve been lucky enough to try / own).

Baller American Single Malt Whiskey by St. George - it is aged in umeshu finishing casks and to this day I don’t know if I liked it or not
