Tastes

Complicated with long varying finish - due to six different barrel agings. A solid bite but a little under cask strength. No age statement. Unique but not just an idle novelty. Well worth a dram if you find it!

A little like a mild rye. A little spice, a little fruit.

Kind of a sour cherry nose. Slightly oily. To me, the flavors slightly conflict - not dramatically, but not harmonious either.

The sweetness is mild with a quite short finish, which is good for me. Not super complex but balanced and VERY drinkable. Probably a very nice choice for new whisky drinkers, and a nice no-fuss option for others

My tastes are changing. Glenmorangie always used to be too sweet for me, no bite. It still is to some extent. Maybe it’s the sherry cask that gives it a light fruit twist, but this is incredibly soft and smooth and drinkable.

Very light in color, almost like white wine. Could probably use more aging. A kind of unique dram from start to finish. The nose is kind of an odd combination of buttery and herbal. The taste doesn’t quite match the smell: kind of a savory start and short salt/spice finish that isn’t quite the same as peat. Despite my odd description, I actually quite enjoy it. Different than anything else I’ve had

A bit of an odd, sour mash nose. Nice peppery start, and not overly sweet like so many Irish whiskeys. But a VERY short and a little empty finish

Different. The sharp medicinal taste of the young whiskey doesn’t exactly combine smoothly with the smoke, and the bourbon sweetness is a bit buried. It’s not a harmonious dram. But it’s drinkable and interesting

Honey, pear, pepper, with just a little bit of lingering smoke and spice. It’s not a fascinating dram, but a really lovely balanced one.

Buttery at first, which is a bit of a mixed surprise. But love the short spice and long sawdust smoke finish
