Tastes

2012 version...Very smooth up front with an aggressive immediate afterburn that's more warming than painful. Short aftertaste, just like a Port Charlotte drink. Something cloudlike about the tasting - like you are just being enveloped in something you can't quite put your finger on, then it's gone. Decent Islay change of pace.

Seems like it has potential, but just not the right blend of taste and body. Makes you understand why this should get aged for at least 10 years.

It's got a good peat taste to it. The blend makes it so nothing particular stands out. It's alright, not great.

Not what you'd expect in a Scotch. Light citrus taste without much else. It's drinkable but not remarkable.

Very smooth yet peaty drink. Not a strong aftertaste or burn on this. This seems like a very approachable peaty drink.

A bit too fruity, almost artificially sweet, up front. Aftertaste is a bit harsh and reminiscent of an overly young spirit.

Very smooth with a light peppery taste. Solid.

A sweeter drink that's aggressive up front but not much aftertaste. It really gets into your sinuses!

This is a balanced and full bourbon taste, without any heavy syrupy qualitative, and with a light aftertaste.
