Tastes

My son did it again, a Christmas gift that is just lovely. Cherry, fruity nose that turns into a lovely vanilla butterscotch with a nice finish.

I told the wife I wanted a Blended Scotch Whisky for Christmas and this is what she gave me. This is the best Christmas gift I ever gotten from her. Gorgeous smoked barley and nougats. I love smoked peat in Scotch. This is full and robust. It's so good I hate to drink it knowing it will one day all I'll have is an empty bottle and lovely memories.

My son bought this for me for Father's Day. He's always been good for a bottle of something I wouldn't buy for myself. Fruity, spicy and delicious. The sherry casking is a high note and prominent. A definite step up from Bushmill Original.

Orange peels and vanilla with an underlying hint of spice. Taste is orange peel, szechuan peppercorns, and sweet corn. Very nice finish that pleases the senses. Outstanding nose, taste and finish. Taken into account the price this is an exceptional bourbon.

This is the 90 proof VOB. Ginger, apple, cinnamon redhots, turmeric spice on the nose. Numbingness on the tongue at first sip. Smooth, cinnamon redhots on the middle of the tongue, a nice warmth that fills the chest. Tasty dram for an economical price. Though not as complex or flavorful as Old GrandDad BiB it still is a very good choice for a nightly dram.

Do I like it? Yes I do. When the quality of the whiskey is higher than the price, I love it. A great way for someone who wants to try a single malt without playing a lot, this is a great choice. Love the peat and fruit balance.

No age stated on the bottle. Single malt that has a decent taste. Price wise $20 or less for a single malt that tastes like a single malt from a Speyside distillery.

It's a good example of easy available Irish whiskey. Not as taken with this as I am with the other popular Irish. I'll drink this in a bar, but won't buy it if I have other choices.

Tried this after reading and watching reviews. Highly impressed with the flavor, quality and price point. Finely flavored and crafted. Honey and bananas. Worth picking up and having on hand. Permanent whiskey in my collection.

Brown sugar, caramel, apple, char. Full mix of flavor over the tongue that's smooth. Finish is short but pleasant. One of the best mass produced bourbon. Price point and flavor make it an excellent buy. Very nice everyday sipper. EV and George Dickle No.12 are always in present in my bar.
