Tastes

Nose is all fruity, mostly musty berries and floral. Sherry cask influence is heavy. Palate is also fruity, honey, acidic and I found it to be harsh for a 21 year old. I expected more of a rounded palate. It could be because this is my first dram after like 6 days, but the extra bite that I didn’t expect from the age and the relatively low ABV just threw me off. I tried it with a bit of water and on the rocks too. Still it didn’t really open up for me. Got that super sweet, hit you in the face candy flavors with a lot of bite, and sadly I wasn’t a big fan. Honestly I prefer the 12 and triple wood.

Vanilla, honey & wood with light apple cherry notes. Medium body for a 46% and an easy sipper. Enjoyed it very much.

Sweet vanilla and wood notes were dominant. Surprisingly a nice whisky for the price. Light body, easy sipper.

A bit brighter for a 14 year old. Rich body. Cloudy because of un-chillfilltered. Super sweet. I got notes of honey nectar, vanilla and sugar donuts. Not too complex. Even with a little bit of water it didn’t open up. Strong sweet flavors were present on the tongue front to back with a sweet candy like after taste. If you are looking for a super sweet whisky that’s not a sherry bomb with that extra bite, go for it!

Smoke all the way! Love the campfire smoke, salted caramel and toasted bread notes on this beauty. A little bit of zest too.

Meh. I was told this was very good but didn’t live up to my expectations. The corn in this blend is strong. Easy to drink. Floral, vanilla and cereal nose is nice. Mild body. Dusty metallic note is not my favorite. It’s okay, not complex enough for my taste.

Enjoyable blend. Have that dusty metallic note that I’m not a big fan of. But the caramel and fruity front is enjoyable. Mild body, very light and easy to drink.

Just fine. For a budget single malt it tastes just fine. Sherry on the nose with a medium body and a slight burn for a 80 proof. Better than most budget single malts.

Too much sherry and not well rounded. Doesn’t taste like a 15 year old whisky

Typical speyside notes such as sweet rich malt, floral and apple with the not so typical light smoke. I enjoyed it.
