Tastes
-
Nose - smokey and peaty. Smells like a classic scotch. Rubbery, leathery, herbal. Maybe controversial opinion but smells a little like caol ila. Mellow. Not too sharp on the nose. Tongue - right off the bat, a smoky hit. Spicy and herbal. Goes down easy. A little oily. Rounded. But the finish is short. Leaves a good aftertaste but doesn't last long. Overall a really a good scotch!

M&H APEX Pomegranate Wine Cask
Single Malt — Israel
Reviewed November 15, 2022 (edited November 16, 2022)N - very fruity, can see the pomegranate influence. Strong and robust. T - very young and sharp. Flavor profile is great. Sweet and fruity with a hint of honey. But too young. This whisky will be amazing if it is aged for a few more yearsThe Franklin Room -

Lagavulin 16 Year
Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed September 19, 2022 (edited October 5, 2022)Nose: peaty, herbal, leathery caramel. Taste: leathery, campfire, sweet and spicy. Has a wonderful finish, herbal and minty. Was introduced to the world of Scotches by my friend through this. I liked it initially but didn't appreciate it. Now that my palate is maturing, Lagavulin 16 is in my top 3 so far.
