Tastes

Beautiful copper color. Floral nose with nothing highlighted. Burns on the tip of the tongue. Weirdly smooth without any real taste. It does burn both during the sip and long after. Definitely not with the more money charged than the lesser MacAllan.

Nice reddish yellow color. Amber I guess. Sweet pleasant nose. On the second tasting I had a slight coughing fit. Don’t think it was related to the scotch cause the scotch is remarkable. But thought I would mention it for full disclosure purposes. There is a slight burning on the tongue, bottom lip and throat after the swallow but the taste is impeccable. Nothing antiseptic about it. Tastes of Vanilla and caramel abound. Other joyous flavors I cannot immediately place. This scotch is heavenly divine with just a touch of the devil due to the mild afterburn.

Almost a reddish amber color which is inconsistent throughout the glass. One side is paler than the other. Very antiseptic nose. Maybe a peak of vanilla smell trying to break out of the antiseptic. Stingy on the tongue. Mostly towards the back. A bit of almond taste. Harsh afterburn and lips and tongue starting to tingle. Definitely not one of my favorite scotches.

Color very very pale. But in my glass it is actually much darker. Maybe the angles of the bottle change the lighting like a diamond. Bottle is so unique. I know that shouldn’t really matter in a tasting but I love it. There is a Carmel flavor on the nose and It is very Carmel tasting. Very smooth. No After burn. Vanilla flavor. Might be my favorite tasting so far.

Very light color. Almost looks like apple juice. Nose is light but flagrant. Pleasant actually. Surprisingly smooth to swallow with a tiny bite after. Tongue tingles slightly between tip and half mast. Can’t quite place the flavors present but it is amazingly pleasant.

Nice amber color. Not Much of a nose. Very smooth taste. Amazing smooth going down. Almost carmelly tasting. A little bit of a nip on the tongue and a tingling on the lips afterwards.

Very consistent color. Mellow nose with just a hint of alcohol at the finish. Smooth going down with a tiny burst of alcohol fumes through nose on the follow through. Savory and effervescent taste. Slight afterburner effect as an afterthought.

Color is rather pale. Flavor seems a bit weak. There is an antiseptic after feel and a tiny bit of an antiseptic aftertaste. It has a flowery nose. The nose has a better flavor than the taste.
