Tastes

The nose offers a citrus-cherry flavor. Nice. The taste continues such flavor, succeeding to a balanced peat and spice taste. Very enjoyable, very well priced.

I imagine a line "flattening the curve" of ethanol flavor, reducing this to the perfect amount of heat to be paired with it's subtle cherry and pepper-smoke notes. Charred Oak finish, gotta love that.

I cannot believe how good this is. This is a great value. Not to say it tastes cheap. Quite the opposite, rather. For the price, it should not be this complex. It's got a cherry pallet but has a comparable spice level to a Knob Creek. It's 70% but not corny. It balances heat with a smooth body. Great value, one to keep at all times.

A good value. It's like a less punchy version of Laphroaig 10, but at a less expensive cost. Has a pleasant sweetness to it. Overall, this is quite good.

A wonderful blend of flavors. Fruity and "butterscotchy." It's a joyride of pallets with each second it hangs on the tongue. Lacking in nothing. And a terrific body.

This is complex. Sweet, briney, and warm-in that order. And not without the right amount of peat. It's become one of my absolute favorite Scotches.

Good. A little simple in flavor but a good balance of spice and sweet. Probably too expensive overall.

Easy drinking. Definitely notes of green apple, some cinnamon. Finishes with a good spice and and classic Irish bitterness. A little too mild and sweet for my traditional taste, but definitely a nice change of pace drink. Super affordable and worth keeping around for a sweeter palate type of day.

It's peaty enough to be beloved by smoky scotch connisuers. And the rich vanilla flavor is present throughout. It's got an excellent balance of flavor. I am a fan of this. Will absolutely buy it again. Highland Park has yet to disappoint. And for what I've seen to be their most affordable option, I actually might prefer this bottle to some of the others.

Delightful. Nutty and definitely fruity, as advertised. The suttle sweetness remains throughout, and the spice hits at the back end. There's some woody-vanilla that I'm detecting too. Best Irish I've ever had. Only hold up is pricing, but honestly if you're not trying to be frugal, it's definitely worth the price.
