Tastes

What a treat! Rich and complex with decadent hints of chocolate and plum

More peaty than I would have expected but still very enjoyable. (I’m not a peat guy) Earthy and dynamic in the pallet.

This was actually the “Baller” cask. Japanese style single malt from an American distillery. Wow what an interesting Whiskey. Very easy on the nose but smacks you with an array of flavors. I get sweetness from the barley malt, earthy, citrus and chocolate. Mild finish and lingering sweet/bitter. Definitely something to share with someone who would appreciate the complexity. Or by yourself:)

This one surprised me. It’s an inexpensive scotch that I believe to be undervalued. The 12 year was a bit abrasive and didn’t impress me but this one was a pleasant surprise.

Definitely gentle as the namesake implies. It’s a bit sweeter that I typically like and I find it a bit one dimensional. The flavor profile is nice but it falls off quickly and has a bit of an absent finish.

Visited this distillery in September 2017 and really enjoyed this one. It’s not incredible but I find it undervalued.
