Arkay Vanilla Whisky All Flavor. No Alcohol. Zero Proof. Zero Guilt.
Found a back up bottle of Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Small Batch today!
Mouth dropping nose. Beautiful strawberries, fragrant Concord grapes. Like a strawberry/grape slushie when you were a kid that makes your mouth water. The nose takes me back to childhood getting a snocone at the water park during summer break.
Holy shit. The drinking experience is a sunrise over a tropical beach. Explosive, like the first rays peer over the horizon. Then as your eyes adjust, the light covers the entire sky and spreads and you start hearing the birds and waves crash on the beach. Chewy, oaky, dark fruity, viscous, explosive, balanced, this bourbon is perfect. The remnants of the pour leave my mouth watering while also drying my tongue. It leaves me addicted to try more but I have to force myself to hold back and still enjoy the lingering finish that this bottle provides.
This is probably the most “experience” I’ve ever had from a bottle of bourbon. Definitely top 3 bottles I’ve ever had. Have you ever had a day so perfect that you wish you could bottle it up and save for another day? Michters 20 is that perfectly bottled day.

Bourbon flight and live music is a good combo.

Picked up a bottle of Very Old Barton 100 Proof. Have heard some good things about it. Can't wait to give it a pour.
The QuintEssential
By Cedar Ridge Distillery
American Single Malt Whiskey
92 Proof
Appearance - The pour has a light golden hue to it. After a quick swirl in the glen you see that it coats well and develops thick spaced out legs that creep down the glass returning to the pour almost as a solid curtain. This pour looks amazing!
Nose - As you get into the glen, you get a toasted cereal type grain note upfront. This gives way to a gentle honey note and sweet pear and on the backend you get a hint of citrus peel. The nose is very inviting.
Palate - As you take that first small sip, you are met with light toffee and apricot sweetness as well as a malty grain note. As you go back in for a slightly larger sip, you get this wonderful fig and date note along with a small bite of spice that helps dial back the sweetness. You get some baking spices as well, like powdered cinnamon and nutmeg. Throughout the pour, you get a medicated bandaid note that lingers and weaves itself in and out of the notes. This medicated bandaid note is from the light peat note (unfortunately this is how peat comes across on my palate which is why I generally am not a fan of peat), but it is so faint that you might only notice it if you are sitting and picking the pour a part trying to see everything it has to offer. Even so, the palate on this pour is well balanced and delightful.
Finish - As you sit and allow this pour to remind you of what it is, you get a wonderful sweet honey note that shows back up with a little smokiness , and dry oak. The stone fruit note returns as well. The finish on this pour is medium long and very enjoyable.
Overall - So I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of peated whiskey. But dang it, this one was enjoyable in smaller sips for me. I tip my cap to you Cedar Ridge, this is a first for me! But with how well balanced this pour is as it starts out sweet, then gives a quick small punch of spice, and the sweetness comes back with some dry oak and smokiness…. Well, this is a very solid ASM!
Score #/10 - As I sit and sip the last of the pour, I am trying hard to decide on a score as I’m torn. But alas, the score is a comfortable 7.8/10 and for all of the Scotch lovers out there, this could be much higher.

Went to Maryland this past weekend to celebrate with family and stumbled across these gems! My intent was to visit just one store and that’s exactly what happened! One and Done!
My man Andy at @sunnybrook_tavern was awesome. We talked about the bourbon industry, his store dynamics, and his store picks.
@sunnybrook_tavern I will be back! Appreciate the hospitality and great prices. If y’all are in the DMV area … check them out and tell them BrothersInBond sent you!
Cheers 🥃
