Tastes

Such a fantastic, sweet nose with sweet notes of pear and apple. An incredibly smooth mouthfeel that is light on the tongue but with a lingering finish. Really enjoyed this one!

I’ll be honest, this one is a little difficult to put words to. Initially, the nose wasn’t giving me much other than some dried coconut and nail polish remover but it took on far more complexity after the first sip - more brown sugar and sherry notes. Not overly smooth in the mouth but still a good flavor with more of the sherry notes carrying through and some burn on the finish.

Corn on the nose, not a super surprising or distinctive drink with a fairly light mouthfeel and a little lingering burn on the finish.

A very bright, perfumey nose with wildflower. A little bit of burn on the palate due to the young age (5 years) and ABV of this Scotch. Very little finish. Not anything to write home about but enjoyable to sit and drink.

Upon pouring, you immediately notice the huge legs in the glass (which is surprising for this Scotch that comes in at just 40%). I’m picking up grape (like an artificial grape), sweet fruits and oak. It’s smooth on the palate but I’m not picking up some of the things I caught on the nose. After a couple of sips you start to get more sweetness but there’s still a strong oak coming though in the palate. Not a long finish but still very enjoyable.

Huge campfire and peat on the nose. Initially the peat is overwhelming but after a sip or two, you begin to get vanilla and marshmallow on the nose. That same smokiness come through on the palate and lingers with a very full mouthfeel. An excellent example of an Islay Scotch

Not my favorite. I’m getting nail polish on the nose. A pretty thin mouthfeel for the age, doesn’t linger very long on the palate. Fairly underwhelming although more sweetness does come through after a couple of sips.

Strong apple and spice cake on the nose. Sweet. Doesn’t taste quite as sweet on the palate but it has a fresh, bright taste and a pleasant warmth on the tongue. Surprisingly smooth for 47.5%abv. Really enjoyed this!

It’s a younger whiskey so your get that in the burn on the finish. Floral, sweet notes on the nose with banana and cream.

notes of ginger, vanilla, sea spray and spice.
