Tastes

The scent gives off a rich vanilla. The sweetness is the lead with notes of soft toffee and butterscotch. The 80 proof mask the evolving taste. The alcohol allows taste of moderate heat, vanilla and butter. Solid but leaves much to desire.

I'm a lover of Lagavulin. Despite 16 holding the crown, the 8 delivers a uniqueness that holds its own. Clear yellow gold hue with lengthy scents of smoke, peat, jammy apricot, fragrant citrus, butter and a tinge of heat. The smooth taste of peat comes off balanced, woody, menthol. Taste of butter trailing menthol, minty, tarragon. Great finish that exudes quality. If you want a variation of 16 with vibrancy and an assortment of flavors, grab this bottle. Peat lovers this is for you.

St Patrick's Day month, so I have to experiment with different Irish whiskeys. So, I randomly grabbed this bottle. Semi sweet scent that begins with butter and a mixture of clove and fruit. I smell scents of apple, banana and soft peach. The sweetness carries into the taste with a mouthful of marmalade. Strong hit of alcohol that overpowers the smoke and light heat. I think it would be better if used as a mixer or if aged longer.

Tropical fruit scents, buttery, anise, allspice. Warming earthy taste of cinnamon, vanilla and clove aftertaste with medium heat. Medium finish and great for a night alone or get together with family and friends.

Golden color with floral scents of citrus, vanilla, and heavy alcohol despite 43%abv. The taste is oily with candied toffee, fruitness, and subtle spice. The finish is oily and long. It's very tasty.

Nice Rye on a cool night. Strong whiff of Rye followed by vanilla, sweet caramel, light oak, and toffee. Rich smells followed the taste of spicy cinnamon, heavy menthol and mint with lingering smoke. Slightly oily

Quality peated whiskey with scents of oak, butter, over ripe banana, allspice, vanilla, salt. The taste is upfront with strong peat reminiscent of Scotch. The Peay is center focus with menthol and smoke. Medium heat and finish. It is very tasty and thoroughly enjoyed.

Sweet, jammy nose with sweet caramel, fig, butterscotch, and a toasty fire. The taste brings floral orange, slightly oily, menthol, and soft heat with long finish. Good bottle to bring on a trip or get together with friends.

Finally, I got around to the famed Remus. The nose gives off char and light smoke. The white oak really comes through. Scents of caramel dominate your senses matched with sweet vanilla and baking spices in your typical bourbon notes. Smooth taste but no complexity. Slight heat that lingers with caramel. Solid
