Bib & Tucker 6 Year Bourbon
$96.99
This Bib & Tucker 6 Year Bourbon was sourced from an undisclosed Tennessee Distillery (possibly from Dickel maker Cascade Hollow?). It is made from a mash bill comprised of 70% Corn, 26% Rye, and 4% Barley. What makes it a little out of the ordinary is that is aged in Virgin American oak with a relatively light #1 char, which is a lot lighter than the typical #3 or #4 char used for most Bourbon Whiskey. Bottled at 46%.
Tobermory 12 Year
$81.99
The Tobermory 12-year-old replaces the old flagship 10-year old, which is now out of production. The 12-year-old was aged primarily in ex-Bourbon and other American Oak casks and is bottled at 46.3% ABV.
The quirky ABV is a standard throughout owner Distell's Scottish Whisky brands, which also include Deanston and Bunnahabhain Distillery.
Tobermory Distillery resides on the Isle of Mull which lies west of mainland Scotland. The distillery focuses on creating unpeated whisky for its aptly named Tobermory whisky line as well as a heavily peated style known as Ledaig.
Tapatio Tequila Reposado
$66.99
For three quarters of a century, Taptio was only available within Mexico itself, From Distiller Carlos Camarena, this is tequila is made from 100% Blue Agave and aged in oak casks for four months before bottling, creating just a slightly more mellow and rounded style than a blanco. If you want a Tequila where the oak is secondary and the spirit still sings through, try this one out!

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: bright, honeyed and fruity; dried fruits, melons and sliced oranges; delicate spices, French vanilla and soft musty oak.
Palate: round, rich and nutty; building spices, leather, chocolate, caramel and a touch of tobacco; more musty dunnage notes, nutty tones, dried dark fruits and bright sliced orange; a touch of Christmas cake and liquid honey; a touch of that meaty character Mortlach is known for.
Finish: medium in length, nutty, spicy and leathery with chocolate and honey.
Comment: I had probably unfairly low expectations, after all the price is high for a 15 year old, but it is a good Mortlach, true to the style and very drinkable; am also happy they saw the light and bottled it at 46%; would like to see more of that!
