    Light, clean whisky with hints of honey and lemon. Would make for a nice summertime sipper.

    Sweet smelling scotch, almost like a tawny port. Lots of complexity and an interesting experience, but not quite my style. I'd be willing to sip it again to reassess.

    Moderate peat and smoke. Tastes like a hybrid of an Islay and a Highland. I'll always remember it fondly, because the first time I drank it, my friend and I hit the Trifecta at the Belmont. Thank you, Kent Desormeaux!

    Light nose w/hints of cake, honey, and tinge of mustiness (may just have been an old bottle). Tasty, but not robust.

    Sipped this with a friend on Thanksgiving. We loved the label, but weren't as impressed with what was inside.

    Lemon and honey on the nose. Clean taste, but lacked complexity. Short finish.

    What set this apart from scotches was the tasty salt note. Medium bodied and enjoyable.

    I'm generally not a fan of blended whiskeys, but this had its charms. Light body with hints of vanilla, spice and citrus.

    Moon corn! Despite having the look of something you'd expect to see being chugged under a bridge, this wasn't as bad as I expected. For $12, this would do just fine as a mixer.

    I detected a bit of coconut on the nose here, which I found interesting. Not as peaty as I expected, but a long, complex finish nevertheless. I found this opened up a lot with a few drops of water.
