    Hints of fruits, namely pear and apple. Also a bit of smoke and oak. Finishes soft and nicely. A good Scotch overall.

    Caramel, brown sugar, some oak but mostly coconut for some reason. All in all its' a good bourbon for the price. You can't go wrong with this. It's surprisingly smooth and mellow for the proof.

  • Springbank 10 Year

    Really balanced whiskey and a good all-rounder. It's sweet like an Irish, but not too sweet. It has the smoky and brine of an Islay but not too overpowering. It also has this sharp and spicy note of a bourbon, but it isn't pungent, more rounded off.

    It's really neutral with a strange, but sweet aftertaste. I'm not the biggest fan of this vodka. I prefer Russian Standard over this one.

    You get brown sugar and molasses first, followed by a Coca-Cola funk and band-aid/rubber/iodine. At the end you get some ashy smoke. The finish lasts long and is smoky and sweet. This is a really great rum for the price. If you like rum from Guyana and Barbados, and also whisky (Scotch) from Islay and Campbeltown then this is right up your alley. I'd even compare it to the El Dorado 12, but this one is less sweet but more smoky and Scotch-like. All in all it's an amazing rum!

    Worst whisky I've ever tasted. It's harsh on the palette, with notes of acetone. There isn't much to taste except for some floral notes. The aftertaste tastes as if you've vomited. Pure vomit. Don't waste your money on this. Even Johnnie Walker Red Label is 100x better than this. If you want a decent blended Scotch for the money, go for Chivas Regal.

    Classical Irish whiskey: shortbread, vanilla and floral. It's quite tame but tasty nonetheless. It's a great sipper if you want something simple, you grab it without thinking and enjoy it. It'd be better at a higher proof.

    Smokier than I'd expected, but in a good way. The smoke is up front and then the typical Irish taste seeps through: fruity and floral. A good balance between sweet and smoky. The smoke lingers a while after a sip. I'd recommend this to any Islay fan as a cheaper alternative.

    Light, sweet and fruity: apple, malt, some oak and a bit of smokiness on the palate. The smoke lingers a bit in the aftertaste. It's a different, but welcome change in Irish whiskey.

    Apple, caramel and oak on the nose. On the palate you get mostly oak and that bourbony caramel, but also green apple. The finish is oaky and lingers long.
