Tastes

2.8

Dunno which voyage I had but it’s about 3.75

3.3ish

I’m probably at a 3.5 for this. I like a lot of the NAS Laphroaigs. They have something that Talisker 10 has that this does not. I think it’s the finish but it could be the mouth coating. Something at the end left me a little...unfulfilled? Still very good and at $30 a bottle a steal

Much stronger and less sweet than the normal quarter Cask. Did a side by side tonight. Both were great but the other was probably slightly more drinkable on a regular basis. Sometimes I want to be smacked and I used to go to ugea or corry for that but this will work too. Looking forward to experimenting with water or ice on this but just had it neat this tonight

Overwhelmed by the spice/heat at first. Let it sit for a bit and still get a heartburn type feeling from it. Add a touch of water and this opens up. The sweet vanilla, chocolate aspects come in. Maybe they were always there but I couldn’t find them before. I also tried this with a bit of ice and got the same. Weller and Blanton’s are my go to bourbons. Belle Meade (Nashville) is second and has a wonderfully varied/diverse lineup. Both I love straight up. This is quite good with a bit of ice or water and probably follows them.
