Tastes

Bit of an oddity this one.... mashed fruits on the nose and the front of the palate. A bite of tobacco mid-way through the sip and a smooth quick finish. This one sneaks back up after you think it's finished with a bit of vanilla. It's like somebody thought they should mix their sangria with their whiskey....

Just a harsh glass a whiskey passing thorough. Sweet to smell with a bite at first taste. Disappears quickly and then warms your chest a few moments later. A slight bitterness and a hint of banana. Meh.

If a fun-fetti cupcake was a whiskey, this would be it. It's sweet, it's vanilla, it's dry, and it's a slow warmer all the way to the bottom. Not bad, but I'd consider it more of a novelty than a sipper

A sweet vanilla nose. Taste is pleasant but underwhelming. Not a lot of rye spice. Actually had a lot of characteristics of a bourbon but without the bite. Finishes quick and dry mid pallette. A bit of earthy-ness and tobacco lingered. Not bad but far from great.

Cherry, overripe bananas, and a chemical mixture overwhelm the nose on this bourbon. Spiced vanilla and honey are present on initial taste. Replaced by lingering cinnamon, rye spices and a long smooth finish. More tastes remind me of freshly brewed tea. Much less harsh than most bourbons aged in charred Oak. Not overly smoked. Overall, not bad at all.

Another smooth Irish whiskey. Toasted fruits, vanilla and honey are present on the nose and palate. A hint of spice. Fairly dry and floral as well. Just a hint of a strong finish but overall, just meh.

Extremely subtle yet complex on the nose. Struggled to pin any one thing down. Hints of vanilla, smoke, and maybe pear. No relief was found in tasting this one. Perhaps the smoothest whiskey I've ever drank. That being said, I have to say it's kind of a disappointment. Nothing specific to write about, nothing to bring me back for more.

Pretty smoth on the front. Fairly certain it was gone and then finished with a punch at the back of the throat. Spicy on the lips. Nose of banana, dried fruits, and caramel. Not reminiscent of most other scotch whiskeys but that's not a bad thing. Interesting for taste but not necessarily one to put in the regular rotation.

Very fruity. Definitely noticable that this is aged in former wine barrels. Hints of vanilla and smoke. Extremely smooth with a bit of spice and red wine. Finishes with a small kick.

Very mellow all around. Notes of a variety of fruit, most noticeably pear. A bit smoky and a hint of spice. Taste was also very subdued. Nutty and a faint spice. Wasn't able to find anything else. Meh
