Tastes

Added two drops of water - Nose - reminds of bourbon, but has more weight to it. Sweet and chocolaty, vanilla, fruity. Tongue - Water really opens it up. Very sweet, but very spicy as well. Tastes like cherry, plums. Has a rum like character. Raisins probably. Very good. Would love to own a bottle.

Nose - Herbal, smokey, briny, Tongue - very salty, hints of sweetness. Has a grassy note, oily, coats the mouth well. Cinnamon and cloves. Spicy finish as it goes down like indian food. Very good medium long finish. Enjoyed this expression a lot. Worth trying and owning.

Nose - briny, meaty, chemicalish, thick and reminds of a typical islay style. Tongue - sweet and savory, a surprise hit of smoke and a lasting smoke finish. It fits its namesake. Finish us short though. A very different experience.

Nose - smells chemicallish, briny, meaty like ham, flaming cheetoish smell. Taste - smokey and meaty. Tastes like bacon and ham. Beautiful. Light but well rounded. Very surprised for something so young being so mature. Finish is on the shorter side. Maybe the older expressions they release may develop longer finish.

Nose - floral and pleasant smelling. Sweet introduction. Essence of oily substances. Taste - Sweet, weighty, full bodied, oily. Medium finish. Cinnamon and raisin cookie type flavor. I enjoyed it personally. Something that i would like to own. Its a good dram to drink once a week.

Nose - different, oily, medicinal. Really opened up with 4 drops of water. Its sweet, vanillaish, still perfumy, mango. Taste - after 4 drops of water it really opened up. Has a port Charlotte style Sweetness. Mature for only a 7 year old whisky. Long finish. Very oily, cherry flavors. Love it.

Nose - cream cheese, peaty, smokey, sweet vanilla, burnt rubber. Taste - strong punchy alcohol burn, very sweet, medicinal.

An amazing dram. Smokey and leathery nose. Could smell some herbs as well. Has smoky barbecue nature to it. On the tongue, initially, it had a powerful taste, Avery smoky mouth feel. Tasted like campfire and woody and a hint of bitters. My preferred way to sip this is with two drops of water. It really opens up and turn into a sweet barbeque, yet smokey experience, like candied bacon. The bitters vanish.

An easy drinking bourbon. Has tons of flavor. Smells like vanilla and oak and Christmas spices like cinnamon, nutmeg etc. Initial taste suggests sweet vanilla pod with cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. Has a nice herbal essence to it. Finish is medium. Would be amazing if it was made as cask strength with longer finish.

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!
