Initially, I got bandaid and medicinal smell from the bottle, then the sweetish-peaty and smoky aroma. There's some hint of pear as well. Black pepperiness in taste and feeling in the mouth. Some back flavor of sweet anise. While it does have an after-bite of a nip/pepperiness to it, and that mild smokiness, it's not overpowering and has some smoothness. Rating based on neat sipping.

Aroma: Peat, medicinal, and a mild smokiness. Flavor: Salty peat, subtly medicinal, a wee waft of smokiness, and black pepperiness in the finish that fades into almost sugar water taste & feel on the tongue. Would be a good introduction to peat scotch without being overwhelmed. Rating based on neat sipping.

I'm definitely getting those Jamaican funk and very ripe banana aromas! The first couple of seconds are sweet, but the higher proof kicks in and it becomes less rewarding. 100% this makes for a great mixer for a real Caribbean rum drink. The after-taste is a spicy, short-lived cinnamon followed by the funky ripe banana. The sweetness comes from that ripened banana flavor, so it's not sugary-sweet but more like fruit-sweet.

Aromas of apple, anise (licorice), and bourbon, of course. Mellow bourbon flavors with a hint of green/sour apple. This isn't strongly flavored, so it's good for those new to this, or if looking for something most can enjoy. Rating based on neat sipping. Not a bourbon fan so take review with that in mind.

Aroma is crisp, red apple. Flavors: The sweetness of red apple is present, along with a spritzing of orange peel that gives it some of that spicy zing. It has a watery mouth-feel. In the beginning of drinking it, it has an alcohol burn/vapor at the end, but close to the end of the glass -- and having another round -- that goes away. Decent price for a decent scotch, thus my slightly elevated rating. Rating based on neat sipping.39.95 USD per Bottle

Aroma has an initial hit of banana and then bourbon. Flavor is bourbon. Where's the rum? If I wanted bourbon, I would have bought a bottle. Pretty disappointing, there's nothing "rum" about this. Foursquare focuses too much on bourbon flavoring, a flavor I'm not fond of...I prefer scotch. Rating based on neat sipping and, in this case, the flavor NOT even hinting of rum. I want to make sure I don't buy this again.

From the bottle, this has a coffee & toffee aroma and a definite sweetness. Tastes sweet and has a nice, oily mouth feel. I'm getting Kahlua-like coffee flavor. Coffee flavor is there but in candy form. May be a bit too sweet straight-up for some but should go perfectly well as a mixer. Rating based on neat sipping.

Aroma is vanilla extract and a little bit of rootbeer. Kinda reminds me of the spiced rum they make. Taste is a bit difficult to determine. I'm getting molasses, brown sugar...I think? Some rootbeer in the retro-hale. The alcohol isn't strong but it still interrupts the taste profile with its heat and presence. I like their spiced rum much better. Rating based on neat sipping.
