Tastes

Cinnamon bomb all around! I’ll post more tasting notes later.

Nose: fruits and spice, with a woodsy tree. Has a tartness. Taste: heavy oak. Some sweetness. Short finish. Really needs to breathe. Kind of disappointing.

Tonight’s pour is just a “weee little laddie” from Bruichladdich, their heavily peated Port Charlotte 10 yr. Heavy peat, pears, grapes, and apples on the nose. Very sweet at first and then blossoms into a light campfire on the long finish. A hint of cinnamon at the back of the palate. One of my favorite Scotches

Oak, toffee, caramel, and baking spices on the nose. Color is amber. Very oily, leaves a slick on the side of the glass that takes a while to come down. Very sweet with a candied apple on the tongue. Finish is good, about 10 sec. Some cinnamon on the back end. Smokiness from the 2nd barrel subsides if you let it breathe.

Light oak and cinnamon on the nose. Flavor was lacking on this bottle. Mostly oak. No sweetness.

Straw gold to amber in color. Apples and corn on the nose. Has a citrus flavor as well as some corn. Could have been aged longer, but works well.
