Flaviar Day 13-15: The Battle of the Grains! Who Reigns Supreme?

🥃 Flaviar “FlaviAIR” Advent Calendar 2025 Reveal: Days 13, 14, & 15 – Single Grain Showdown!

Join Wayne and Rebecca from Your Bourbon Journey as we continue our 2025 Flaviar Whiskey Advent Calendar journey—dubbed “FlaviAIR”! This is Episode Five where we open doors 13, 14, and 15, taking an international flight to taste three uniquely different whiskies.

This flight is a true single grain showdown featuring a complex American Single Malt, a distinctive Bottled-in-Bond Wheat Whiskey, and a light, floral Japanese Blended Whisky. Get our honest, unscripted tasting notes and see which dram takes the gold!

Featured Whiskies & Tasting Notes:

  • ✈️ Day 13 (Virginia, USA):Courage & Conviction Double Cask Reserve American Single Malt from Virginia Distillery Company. Aged in bourbon and STR European Red Wine casks.
    • Our Notes: Definitive single malt nose with prominent barley, but an intriguing bitter red wine note on the palate that led to a short, peppery finish. A divisive pour!
  • ✈️ Day 14 (Oregon, USA):Oregon Spirit Distillers Bottled-in-Bond Wheat Whiskey. Crafted with winter wheat, rye, and malted barley, aged for five years.
    • Our Notes: Shockingly sweet, white wine-like nose followed by a palate with unexpected rye spice. A journey of confusion, but a fantastic nose!
  • ✈️ Day 15 (Osaka, Japan):Akashi Japanese Blended Whisky from White Oak Distillery. A blend of wheat, barley, and rye, aged in X-Bourbon, Shochu, and Sherry casks.
    • Our Notes: The best nose of the flight—light, fragrant, and floral. An easy sipper with dominant, pleasant barley notes and a lovely matching profile from nose to palate. The ultimate choice of the flight!
