Tastes

Golden nectar in color. Plenty of spice to chose from in the nose…..clove, cinnamon, lots of sweet vanilla. More spice and vanilla on the palate but also a tangy, citrus, fruitiness. The finish brings out the spice rack again and concludes with slightly bitter, but oh so nice, grapefruit. A very pleasant, and complex, dram.

The Guild WC 9/30/21 Deep amber in color. The nose and palate are immersed in distinct notes of vanilla, toasted cereal and fresh baked bread. Thank you traditional oak cask. The finish is fruity and honeyed, candy apple style. Thank you sherry cask. A wonderfully complex dram.

Nose- rich butterscotch and fruit Palate - orange peal, toffee, vanilla, candy apple Finish- pure butterscotch, slow, luxurious. A truly exceptional dram.

Courtesy Lord Shon….If you are a Jura fan you will love this travel exclusive. Sweet and jammy on the nose and palate thanks to the 15 yr sherry cask influence. All this is followed by a finish of the nutty brininess and whiffs of smoke you love in a Jura.

Dark amber color, a nose of sweet spices, gives way to a bouquet of caramel, dried fruit and dark chocolate on the palate. A desert finish with more sherry cask sweetness and vanilla. A simply luscious dram.

TheGuild club taste- HA: 4/29/21 Light golden in color, the peat of this 40 ppm whisky enters the nose with the pungent tang of the briny sea. The palate, however, is soothed by citrus, vanilla, and sweetness from the time spent in French wine casks. Add 2-3 drops of water to open it up a bit and enjoy the complexity of warmth, peat, spice and more of that wine cask sweetness.

Wonderful add to the Bowmore travel exclusives. Medium honey in color. Deep and rich on the palate with an array of dried fruits, toasted cereal, with salted caramel and other tones of the sea not far in the background. Finish is luxurious, rich with fruit, brine, and just the right amount of smoke. A truly enjoyable dram.

Taste courtesy of Lord Shon....wonderful add to the Jura travel exclusive line up. Medium amber color. On the palate....rich and sweet rings true from the time spent in the sherry casks, but also tangy maritime and whiffs of smoke hang over the raisin tones. More sherry sweetness to the finish with a background of smoke and tobacco. A yummy dram.

Dark amber color, rich and spicy on the palate with a mouthful of chewy maritime salt and smoke. Finish is long, rich, and accented with the signature pepper tang. If you are a fan of Talisker you will love this dram.

Taste courtesy of Lord Shon I’d you are a fan of Jura (if you’re not, you should be) you will appreciate the complexity and lushness of this dram. Sweet fruit and coffee up front, followed by some intense maritime influence (salt, brine, seaweed, iodine) but still a cask sweetness throughout. Finish is long and luxurious, reminding you once again of this whisky’s maritime origins.
