Mars Iwai Blue Label
Mars Iwai Blue Label is a Japanese blended whisky known for its American whiskey influence, featuring a corn-forward mash bill balanced with malted barley and aged in ex-bourbon barrels. It offers a sweet, fruity, and slightly spicy profile with notes of pear, quince, red fruits, vanilla, and hints of oak and caramel. Some reviews online say it's ideal for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails like an Old Fashioned.

Nose: A delicate bouquet of floral notes, orchard fruits, vanilla, and caramel is complemented by hints of cinnamon and brûléed sugar.
Palate: The palate offers a bourbon-inspired sweetness with vanilla, mint, and burnt demerara sugar, followed by richer flavors of fruit and wet oak.
Finish: The finish is medium-length and smooth, with a pleasing warmth that leaves a pleasant tannic note of black tea and a touch of orange bitterness.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select
To craft Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whiskey, master distiller Jeff Arnett of Lynchburg, TN first selects one out of every hundred barrels for its unique and expressive qualities. Once these special casks have been identified, they are moved to the very top of the distillery's rickhouses, where extreme temperature changes facilitate dramatic interactions between the whiskey and the wood (by law, “Tennessee whiskey” must be aged new, charred American oak barrels). Finally, each barrel is bottled individually at 94 proof, resulting in truly “one-of-a-kind” flavors in every bottle.

Part of the Brown-Forman family of brands.
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Palate: On the palate, notes of oak and charcoal become evident, along with sweeter touches of orange peel and honey.
