    Nose: Prunes and raisins soaked in seawater and antiseptic. Flavor: Campfire smoke, big brine flavor. Tastes as if you set the ocean on fire. Makes me want a skewer.

    Nose is of dried apricots in syrup and saline. Tastes like a speyside on a smoke break. A very brief burst of apple followed by honey and cloves, all with a surprisingly dry finish. Flavor doesn't last long but you'll feel the wood tannins long after. Meh, especially for the price.

    Nose is of malty, almost umami-like flavors. Taste completely opens up to a bright bouquet of spring flowers, fresh hay, and a white peach candy-like sweetness. Interesting!

  • Château de Laubade Intemporel Hors d'Âge Bas-Armagnac

    Armagnac — Bas-Armagnac, France

    I actually had the Intemporel No. 5 which is supposedly made of brandies aged 20-30 years. Whatever. Nose evolves quite a lot, starts off with big toasty sugar flavors almost reminiscent of a full bodied rum. Then goes into baked pears and more bright apple candy flavors. Taste took me be surprise, was not nearly as sweet as I expected it to be. A touch dry with all the wood tannins, reminiscent of some sweet tobacco leaf with an apple-y and grape candy backing. It feels more like an aged calvados than a grape-based brandy. Pretty great.

    Nose is overwhelmingly of green apple candy from childhood. Very clean taste of apple jam on biscuits. Some orange blossom honey lingering behind the jam. Solid.

    Smells of raisins and baked apples. Tastes of plums in honey. Nothing super interesting but nothing to complaint about. A very solid Japanese whiskey.

    Sweet, as would be expected of an Old Tom style. Nose is juniper and citrus. Sweetness balanced on the palate by a woodsy bitterness. Thick honey and floral flavors.

    Nose is of lemon and a well-rounded fennel/juniper note. Juniper is much more prominent than citrus on the taste. Has a bit of a radish-like fresh bite. Ends with a lingering anise/fennel.

    Smells like a Texas BBQ over mesquite smoke. Not a whole lotta sugar in it, but the smoke itself tastes quite sweet. A bit more smooth and rounded than the Andalusia Stryker.
